[JonLP24]

The Jacksonville Jaguars officially hired Doug Marrone as head coach on Monday and brought back Tom Coughlin to oversee football operations as executive vice president.

Jacksonville also signed general manager Dave Caldwell to a two-year extension, meaning that Caldwell, Coughlin and Marrone all will have matching three-year deals with the Jaguars"I have confidence that one day soon we'll look back on today's news as the moment that inspired and ultimately established the Jacksonville Jaguars as a football team that wins, week to week and season to season,'' owner Shad Khan said in a statement. "The results will speak for themselves in time, but with Tom coming in to join Dave and Doug, there is no question the Jacksonville Jaguars are a stronger football team today.''

Marrone and Caldwell will report to Coughlin, meaning Jacksonville's first coach is now in charge and will have final say in personnel decisions

Doug Marrone was the head coach in Buffalo that declined his option to stay in Buffalo and took an assistant job in Jacksonville. Coughlin was the only coach in Jaguars history to post a winning record.
