The sport one of the NFL's most impotent offenses and after the latest hard-to-watch showing against the on Thursday night, the team , according to ESPN.com's Dan Graziano.Meanwhile, the man who hired Olson, Gus Bradley, remains gainfully employed despite a 14-41 record since taking over the Jaguars' head coaching job in January 2013. That record, by any reasonable measure, is grounds for termination. But owner Shad Khan said Thursday, following the team' Kenny Easley Jersey s to Tenne see, that there won't be a head coaching change.That's bad news for Olson, who was hired in January 2015. In his first season, threw for 4,428 yards, 31 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, and young wideouts and combined for 2,431 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns. But 2016 has Derrick Coleman Jersey been a much different story. Bortles, who has 12 touchdowns and nine picks, has been bad, ranking 27th in , only ahead of names like , , , and . Someone had to be the fall guy, and Olson drew the short straw.The development comes a day after Bradley said he wouldn't be firing any a sistants, according to .

I think it was a challenging day yesterday about some of the situations we were in, but as far as the competitor ... and what he brings to this team, there is no doubt Cedric Ogbuehi Jersey about Bortles ." Benching Bortles fixes nothing, neither in the near term nor beyond. Bradley needs to win now, and Bortles gives him the best chance. Unfortunately, winning has been rare and there's a decent chance that Bradley could be out of a job two months -- and the team could be in the market for its next franchise quarterback.
