Del Rio on final play: “Our offensive coordinator calls the plays” Del Rio Throws Blame on Final Play to KoetterJack Del Rio Says Coach Dirk Koetter Didn't Want A Late Timeout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Ocean Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Sports News: Jaguars Fire Del RioAs CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco notes, it was the team’s offense that needed the most refreshing:“Jack Del Rio is proof of what happens when you are married to an outdated offense. You can’t win. When Del Rio was hired as coach, owner Wayne Weaver said, ‘no more three yards and a cloud of dust.’ Now they have a ‘two-yards-and-punt offense’ instead.”While the offense has stalled behind rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio writes, it’s off the field where Del Rio made matters worse:“...Del Rio publicly blamed offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter twice in two weeks for decisions that went bad during Jacksonville losses. Most recently, Del Rio said that a key timeout wasn’t taken because Koetter didn’t want it, a shameful passing of the buck away from the desk of the man who runs the show.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithful Falcon Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 So, is this suppose to make Dirk look bad? They lost more than 1 game this season too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconJim Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's BAD! But Koetter can rest assured, now.....Smitty will never throw him under the bus like that, or make him accountable for his bad decisions.....just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Ocean Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Wayne Weaver (Jaguars old owner) was gonna fire Del Rio earlier than they did, but they wanted to wait and announce the coaching & ownership changes together. The Jaguars owe Del Rio $5 million next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLBrave Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Sounds like a guy trying to make himself look good for his next job. Koetter may not work here, but what a loser like Del Rio says about him shouldn't have any bearing on people's opinion of the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Falcon Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 ok this i like. Its is starting to sound now like that Koetter might just be a good OC in a bad situation. No personnel to work with, and a HC in the hot seat that is throwing people under the bus. i also don't believe that being 32 in the league in offense is on the OC alone. sounds like it was a bad environment over there. it happens good people in bad jobs just look at belichick at cleveland.
