Yeah...right!

Fire Trgo!

 

Hire Collin!

<---(knows you were joking)

 

Am I remembering wrong, or has Joe got his facts mixed up? Trgo was DC for the SB run. Del Rio left after the '02 season.

Also, Jax finished 12-4 this year, not 11-5.

 

Does that mean we'd possibly bring Dom Capers in next year as a DC is Trgo is gone?

 

From the Jag's site:

n taking over the Jaguars in 2003, Del Rio was the architect of a defense that improved to sixth overall in the NFL, and second against the run. He had inherited a team that had not been in the top 10 in total defense since 1999, ranking 20th in 2002. The defense allowed only one 100-yard rusher in 2003, while the offense allowed just 28 sacks, the fewest in team history, and Fred Taylor rushed for a team-record 1,572 yards with Byron Leftwich starting 13 games as a rookie. The Jaguars’ 5-11 record included six losses by seven points or less.
The vast improvement in defense was no coincidence since Del Rio was only one year removed from taking the Carolina Panthers defense from 31st in the league to second overall, as defensive coordinator of the Panthers in 2002. Coming off a 1-15 season, the Panthers defense allowed only 290.4 yards per game, led the NFL in fewest rushing yards per attempt, and ranked second in fewest yards per play, third down efficiency, and sacks (52). The Panthers allowed the fourth-fewest points in the league, did not allow a 300-yard passer, and didn't yield a 100-yard rusher until the season finale.
From 1999 to 2001, Del Rio served as linebackers coach for the Baltimore Ravens, helping the team win Super Bowl XXXV over the New York Giants. For those three years, in which the Ravens finished second in total defense three times, Del Rio coached the Ravens’ talented linebacker corps which featured Peter Boulware, Jamie Sharper and Ray Lewis, the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 2000 and the MVP of Super Bowl XXXV. During the Ravens’ Super Bowl championship season in 2000, the defense set the NFL 16-game record by allowing only 165 points and recording four shutouts, one shy of the post-1970 record. The group also led the NFL with 49 forced turnovers. The defense continued its domination in the playoffs, allowing just one touchdown in four games.
