Jacksonville Jaguars: Gus Bradley is not getting a fifth year

Unless Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan flexes his eccentric billionaire muscles, the Jaguars will have a new head coach in 2017. There is almost no conceivable way that Khan could bring back the ineffective Gus Bradley for a fifth season in North Florida.

This team spent a small fortune in 2016 NFL free agency and did a solid job with their 2016 draft picks. Yet, this Jaguars team is a pitiful 2-8 on the year. The defense is far too inconsistent for Bradley, a defensive-minded head coach, to get any more leash.

The losing culture in Jacksonville has clearly rattled starting quarterback Blake Bortles. He has regressed considerably after his breakout 2015 NFL campaign. To save him and the Jaguars, they are going to need to bring in a new coaching staff in 2017.

The Jaguars are only a week or so away from being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention anyway. It’s time to get ready for the 2017 NFL Draft. Be thankful that the NFL world has taken notice of the horrendous job Bradley is doing with this football team, Jacksonville. We feel for you and hopefully you get a solid new head coach to right this sunken ship.
