Jacksonville, but gets an even loftier job.

This makes a lot more sense on multiple levels. Coughlin is 70 years old and realistically had three years tops. So the fact that he got a three year deal is perfect on multiple facets.

It also prevents the Jaguars from being in an awkward position in three years when they’d have to hire a replacement coach. While Marrone (52) is much more fit to run a team.

This may sound like a hot take, but it’s far from. This Jaguars job is the best one in the NFL. Great young talent, early draft picks, and a very weak division. Actually the worst division in football, so if Marrone was going to rise up the ranks this is the place to do it.
