    NFL - Mularkey sacked as Jaguars head coach

    Mike Mularkey was fired as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars after one season in charge.

    Reuters – Thu, Jan 10, 2013 11:45 EST

    "I informed Mike today that he will not return as head coach of the Jaguars," said the Jaguars' newly-hired general manager David Caldwell in a statement. "I know Mike well and do not want anyone to misinterpret the rationale behind my decision.

    "Mike is an excellent coach and I am sure he will succeed in his next stop in the NFL. However, I must do what I believe is best for the Jacksonville Jaguars and immediately explore every avenue possible to turn our football team around."

    Jacksonville finished last season with a franchise worst mark of 2-14, matching the Kansas City Chiefs for the NFL's worst record.

    The Jaguars closed out the campaign with a five game losing streak - winning just once in their final 13 contests.

    Mularkey, who was also head coach of the Buffalo Bills for two losing seasons (2004-05), becomes the eighth NFL head coach to be sacked since the end of the regular season.
