2013 Mock Offseason X.2


I'm hammering these out now like it's my job.

.

Front Office:

General Manager: Tom Gamble

Head Coach: Lovie Smith

Offensive Coordinator: Norv Turner

Defensive Coordinator: Jim Tomsula

.

Lovie Smith is a really good coach. He's a defensive coach, and the reason he ended up getting fired is mostly because his offenses were never very good. But he's a defensive coach, he went through 4 offensive coordinators in 6 years, he couldn't find a good OC for the Bears. Tom Gamble finds him a good offensive coordinator in Norv Turner, who developed Troy Aikman, and turned a terrible offense, into a top 10 offense in Dallas. He's a great offensive mind, and may finally be the Offensive Coordinator Lovie Smith always wanted. Tom Gamble pulls the defensive line coach from his former team the 49ers and makes him the defensive coordinator. This means the Jaguars switch to the 3-4, but will have some 4-3 looks as well.
