Shad Khan: "Gus Bradley will be the Jaguars head coach in 2016"

Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan said Gus Bradley will be the head coach in 2016 in a statement sent out on Tuesday afternoon.

"I spoke to Gus Bradley today to confirm to him that he will continue as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016. It’s evident to see how far we’ve come in many aspects of our game, and Gus deserves a lot of credit for that progress. It’s also evident the considerable work that remains to be done to be where we expect to be at this time next season, which is well above where we stand today. And Gus understands that. Dave Caldwell and I also spoke today and we are both confident that Gus will make 2016 the best year of his career. In the meantime, I expect his coaching staff and team to respond favorably to this news in preparation for Houston on Sunday and then begin thinking about what more they can provide next season. We have high ambitions."

Bradley is headed into Week 17 of his third season with the Jaguars having compiled just a 12-35 record.
