A year ago, the Jaguars were reportedly on the verge of hiring Byron Leftwich as their next HC, however things hit a snag when Leftwich demanded that Jacksonville fire Trent Baalke and instead hire Adrian Wilson of Arizona to be GM. Jacksonville declined, opted to go with Doug Pederson as their HC, retained Baalke and now a year later, the Jaguars are in the divisional round of the playoffs and Leftwich just got fired as OC of Tampa.
Life comes at you fast.
It does. It worked out well for the Jaguars and Pederson who I felt was scapegoated in Philadelphia. But I can't blame Leftwich for wanting that. Baalke started off well here too. Leftwich is going to have to rebuild his rep.
