When we last left the JamesJacksonville-Dewitt area, “Saint” Doug Marrone was continuing to turn Duval County, Fla. into Syracuse South. In the last few days, the former Syracuse Orange-now-Jacksonville Jaguars coach has grown that trend even more.
First, it was Tyrone Wheatley, who previously worked with Marrone at SU and then the Buffalo Bills. The several-time running backs coach left the same post at Michigan on Sunday to join the Jags’ staff.
On Wednesday, Nathaniel Hackett was the next former Marrone staffer to join him down in Jacksonville.
The Jaguars name Nathaniel Hackett the offensive coordinator.
