Prior to the beginning of the 2021 NFL season, the Jaguars were a team thought to be on the rise.
They hired one of the most accomplished head coaches in college football history, the team transitioned into a defense that many believed would suit its personnel better, they selected former Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence at No. 1 overall; a player many assumed would become a top-flight QB quickly when he entered the pros.
Instead, the team sits at 2-14, finishing its season on Sunday without a head coach, marred with plenty of drama and scrutiny throughout, uncertainty with the personnel on both sides of the football, and a QB that wasn’t able to tally more than 10 touchdown passes through 16 games of a 17-game season.
