The found their next coach and a new, high-profile member of the front office, but neither of the two will exactly be new faces around Jacksonville. As first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Jaguars and Tom Coughlin CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora confirmed both moves. The team and, as , the Jaguars confirmed that they extended general manager Dave Caldwell's contract. All three -- Caldwell, Coughlin, and Marrone -- are under contract for Rafael Montero Jersey three seasons. In their announcement, the Jaguars made it clear that Coughlin is in charge. Both Caldwell and Marrone will report to him.Let's start with Marrone, who served as the team's interim coach late in the season . Marrone previously coached the from 2013-14, going 15-17. While filling in for Bradley during the final two games of the season, he went 1-1, which included a surprising 38-17 win Lance Lynn Jersey over the in Week 16. Apparently, he made enough of an impre sion on the front office during those two weeks, as NFL Network's Mike Silver reported earlier Monday.I know there's a lot of talk about Mike Smith getting the Jags job. Don't count out Doug Marrone. Impre sed his bo ses as interim HC. Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) Still, the move comes as a surprise. As the a sistant head coach and offensive line coach, Marrone was a part of Bradley's failed regime during the past two seasons. Under Bradley, the Jaguars went 14-48. The Jaguars won eight total games from 2015-16. Going from Bradley to Marrone really doesn't seem like a significant change, even if the two have completely different backgrounds and skill sets. To be blunt, this is the dullest hire the Jaguars could've made considering they were also talking with candidates like offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and Coughlin (more on him later). Prior to coaching the Bills, Drew Smyly Jersey Marrone was the coach at Syracuse, posting a 25-25 record in four seasons. So, yeah, everything about this hire screams mediocre. But that alone doesn't mean he'll fail in Jacksonville, though he'll have a tough task to turn around a perpetually awful franchise. By the sound of it, the biggest winner here is , who regre sed in his third season, but will apparently get another shot to prove he's the team's franchise quarterback. After firing Bradley, Caldwell said that his new coach But the hiring of Rougned Odor Jersey Marrone indicates otherwise.Jaguars 'liked the direction' Marrone took the offense in, as well as his 'belief' in Blake Bortles, per . Marc Se sler (@MarcSe slerNFL) As for Coughlin, he will likely be a much more popular addition than Marrone. From 1995-2002, Coughlin coached the Jaguars to a 68-60 record.

Coughlin rebounded by winning two Super Bowls with the Giants. and Ben McAdoo took over. But Coughlin, 70, never officially retired. In December, La Canfora reported that for their coaching vacancy. It turns out, they hired him for a front office role instead. Regardle s of his role, the Jaguars just added a proven winner to their front office. Coughlin posted a .531 winning percentage at both of his coaching stops. Caldwell could use the help. Since taking over as the general manager, Caldwell's Jaguars have gone 15-49 in four seasons.
