After 9th season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, after Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans Jack Del Rio is now looking for a new job after today.  After a 4th straight non-winning season for the Jaguars, owner Wayne Weaver decided Tuesday morning to fire Del Rio.  Weaver was going to make his final decision on Del Rios' future with the Jaguars at the end of the season but Weaver made his decision 5 weeks before the end of the regular season.  Del Rio is the only coach in NFL history to coach a team 9 seasons and not win a division title and was 69-73 with the Jaguars which includes one playoff win in 2007.  Jacksonville has decided to move forward without Jack and maybe it will be for the better or the worse, only time will tell.  The firing of Del Rio came before it was reported that Shahid Khan agreed that he would acquire the Jaguars from Weaver for $760 million.  Khan has been looking to getting his foot in a NFL franchise ownership and was also eyeing the St. Louis Rams.  Khan assured Weaver that the team will remain in Jacksonville.
