PFT's Mike Florio and the Jaguars have denied the report. Marrone's three-plus seasons as Jacksonville's coach have been largely unsuccessful, posting a 21-28 record (.429 win percentage) going into Week 17. The Jaguars have been in steep decline since Marrone led them to the 2017 conference championship. Marrone is the definition of replacement-level with a draconian style that clashes with today's NFL. If Marone is ultimately let go, the question becomes whether the Jaguars also fire GM Dave Caldwell.

I get it that Doug will still likely want a coaching career in the league for the forseeable future, so it behooves him to at least try to put in the work. I also understand there are frequently known "dead coaches walking" who have yet to get an official word about their status with the team after the season, but they probably have a pretty good sense that they won't be around.
But damn... talk about deflating as a head coach. The hours and hours of work you're going to put in for a meaningless game played by a team you won't even be able to coach anymore.
