It “only” took almost four full seasons before the Jacksonville Jaguars finally fired head coach Gus Bradley, letting him go following a 20-21 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 15 of 2016. He was a key component of the “three-season rebuild” that was supposed to be complete in 2016.
The other key component of that long, arduous rebuild is general manager Dave Caldwell, who hired Bradley after a long process in replacing head coach Mike Mularkey and general manager Gene Smith.
In owner Shad Khan’s official statement, he mentions that Caldwell will be beginning the search for a new head coach:
Dave Caldwell agreed and will now be charged with exploring all options to hire the best head coach possible to lead what I feel is an extremely talented team and reward a very loyal and patient fan base in Jacksonville.
