The Jacksonville Jaguars have fired head coach Mike Mularkey after one season, the worst in franchise history. New general manager David Caldwell made the announcement today. Mularkey went 2-14 this season, and now there is one more head-coaching vacancy, and there’s already two coaches the Jags are expected to target:

Two candidates for the Jaguars HC job are expected to be 49ers OC Greg Roman and Rams OC Brian Schottenheimer.

If you recall, the Jaguars interview Bengals Offensive coordinator Jay Gruden last season before ultimately hiring Mularkey. While Jay denied that any interview took place and also said he never contacted the Jaguars, most believe he’ll eventually leave for a head-coaching job, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Jags give him a call sometime this offseason.

Jay has already been linked to the Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals, and despite his unit finishing ranked 18th and 12th in points per game and 20th and 22nd in yards per game, NFL teams believe he is a worthy candidate of an NFL head-coaching job.

He has stated that he intends on being back in Cincinnati next season.

Dennis Allen (Oakland)

The Oakland Raiders has been the revolving door of the NFL for the past six seasons. Within that time span they have had four coaches, none of which have spent more than two years with the team.

The list: Lane Kiffin, Tom Cable, Hue Jackson and finally Allen.

Allen was the Defensive Coordinator for the Denver Broncos before moving to Oakland. He was credited for  the late run that the Broncos had last season by Tebow haters. Allen spent just one year with the Broncos before receiving his new gig.

He started as a Graduate Assistant in the 90′s with Texas A&M.

It is clear that he knows defense. Though predominately a secondary/corners coach, Allen did spend some time working with defensive linemen in New Orleans.
