Popular Post flaming_thumbtack Posted January 9, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Former Jaguars OLineman Uche Nwaneri has a fairly active reddit account and posted this about the balance of respect b/t new coaches and players. Mularkey is talked about at length. Obviously not crazily relevant anymore, but I thought it was interesting enough to share. Goes to show a little bit of what was said about Mularkey's incompetence around here was true. Regardless of your thoughts on his replacement, I'm glad JRob and AAS had the wherewithal to fire MM even after a playoff win.

Callidus Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 If this was by a player who everyone knows is a hard working team first player I would say it means something. But some random guy is just w/e. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No AJ Brown. Suspect OL. Worse pass rush than we have now. Adoree, Jayon and Davis were all rookies. JR gave him misses like Dodd and Austin Johnson. And let's not forget that everyone's favorite player on D, Byard, had by far his best season under Mularkey. Bet you had no problem cheering for them under Mularkey though. It's amazing how much disrespect former players and coaches get around here. You'd think this franchise is known for winning or being great or something special. Nope. Best season under Dick. Mularkey isnt shit in regards to Byard. Yoshimitsu 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towards the end of the season I was incredibly apathetic as I thought a playoff birth would mean we would retain Mularkey. I was obviously happy we made the playoffs, but I would have been equally as happy missing them as I thought Mularkey hurt our long term chances. Luckily, we ended up with the best of both worlds. As for Mularkey being a good coach, I think that you definitely have a unique take there. I'm not discrediting you, but he has failed in three separate head coaching jobs and was deemed to be so detrimental towards our potential that he was fired after a playoff victory. And you saying that we have new players now that Mularkey didn't have is somewhat odd; obviously there is roster turnover; Mularkey had some players Vrabel doesn't and others (Casey and Byard, like you said) were better). You're definitely entitled to your opinion though. Bluth 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 It really is hard to be as stupid as Jake. Anyways, this was a problem he somewhat corrected in Tennessee, but he never let go of putting players back in too fast. He also held on too long sometimes, namely with DeMarco and Robiskie.

Popular Post OILERMAN Posted January 9, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 The main problem corrected with the Titans was done at half time against the Broncos this season. Vrabel was being bashed and the results were 2-4 with a pitiful offense. Now Vrabel is smart and a good coach. It's all about the QB.

nine Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Mularkey obviously got better results in Tennessee than he did in Jacksonville; maybe he learned something from past mistakes. I never got the impression that the players disliked him, and he obviously played a critical role in the team’s return to respectability. But I did find it rather odd that very few players had much to say when their coach was fired after a playoff run . They didn’t seem to have strong feelings one way or the other. Instead of expressing support or disappointment with his firing, the players were largely silent and very blasé about the whole thing. Their sentiments were essentially , “I guess we’’ll have a different coach next year. Whatever.” Bluth, and Eighteen 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing odd about getting better results after leaving Gabbert and the Jags. He was coaching a much better team. Was it odd that Vrabel went from 2-4 to 8-3? tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Lol... and people wonder if Mularkey didn’t fuck up Mariota. terrible coach got lucky 2 seasons with the easiest schedule in the league and playing against backup QBs no one wants him. proof is in the pudding.

pat Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 A thick headed coach about simple things will also make mistakes on bigger things. Mularkey would not have made the QB switch successfully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
