Jaguars make coaching change

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

The Jacksonville Jaguars have become the fourth professional sports team in the last two days to make a coaching change.

On Tuesday, they fired Jack Del Rio and named defensive co-ordinator Mel Tucker his temporary replacement.

The Jaguars are 3-8 this season, but aren’t last in the AFC South. The worst team in the division are the 0-11 Indianapolis Colts.

The AFC South could well be the worst division in football when it comes to quarterbacks. With the Houston Texans now without Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart, I think the Titans’ Matt Hasselbeck is the AFC South’s best at the position. Yikes!

Getting back to the Jaguars, they have scored an NFL worst 138 points. Blaine Gabbert only has thrown six touchdown passes all year and Mike Thomas leads the team with only 368 receiving yards. The fourth ranked Green Bay Packer (James Jones) has more receiving yards than Thomas, so does tight end Adrian Hernandez, who is fourth in receiving yards for the New England Patriots. Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans also has more receiving yards than Thomas in only five games.

Execution?

When Fox News analyst Tucker Carlson went on TV last month and said the words “Michael Vick” and “execution” in the same sentence, he wasn’t talking about his passer rating.

No, he was talking about how the Philadelphia Eagles QB should have been put to death for his abuse of dogs, which Vick spent two years in prison for.

Hold your applause.

This week he was back on “Hannity” to address those comments and showcase some of the other ridiculous things that go on inside his silly little head.

First off, despite a monotone delivery when he uttered the phrase “I believe fervently in second chances, but Michael Vick killed dogs,” Carlson says he just got “too emotional” when the subject came up.

Carlson says he’s not even comfortable with the death penalty, so of course he doesn’t think Vick should be executed. Here’s the thing though, he said it on national TV. If you thought that was good, just wait until you hear what comes next! (more…)
