JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to their past to potentially find their future head coach.General manager Dave Caldwell said Monday that former New York Giants Tom Coughlin would be somebody wed be interested in talking to about the teams coaching vacancy.The Jaguars (2-12) fired Gus Bradley after the franchises ninth consecutive loss Sunday. Bradley went 14-48 in four seasons in Jacksonville, the worst winning percentage (.225) of any NFL coach with at least 60 games.The 70-year-old Coughlin was Jacksonvilles first head coach, leading the Jaguars to a 68-60 record in eight seasons (1995-2002). Coughlin resigned last January after 12 seasons with the Giants, but has made it clear he wants to return to the NFL. He is currently serving as a senior adviser to the leagues football operations department.Caldwell could give him a shot at getting back on the sidelines.Toms a great man and a great person, and well see where it goes, Caldwell said. There will be a lot of guys were interested in talking to.Coughlin won two Super Bowls with the Giants and led them to the playoffs in four consecutive seasons (2005-08).Hes got so much experience on myself or on any coach that we have in this building and hes a great individual, so I think you can always learn from people, Caldwell said. Theres always a place for knowledge.Caldwell said head coaching experience would be helpful for Bradleys successor. But he didnt rule out hiring someone without any.I dont want to avoid a candidate if he doesnt have it because you can be overlooking a great future head coach, Caldwell said. Experience is critical, even with our players. Our players are young, but they may lack experience in certain areas and I think experience is invaluable.Caldwell picked offensive line coach Doug Marrone as the teams interim coach for the final two games. Marrone went 15-17 in two seasons (2013-14) as Buffalos head coach.Marrone wont make any major changes when he holds his first team meeting Tuesday. Hes even sticking with quarterback Blake Bortles, who was the main reason for Jacksonvilles offensive struggles this season.Caldwell remains committed to and confident in Bortles, but said he wont mandate that the new coach be dedicated to keeping Bortles under center. Bortles is tied for second in the NFL with 20 turnovers, and his sloppy mechanics have caused inaccuracy and inconsistency all season. He also has been playing through a shoulder injury.I always feel its the coachs responsibility to play who he feels like gives us the best chance to win, with anybody, Caldwell said. I still believe Blake gives us the best chance to win on Sundays. I know hes fighting through a lot of different things from a health standpoint.Caldwell declined to name any other coaching candidates aside from Coughlin and Marrone.Former San Francisco 49ers coach and current Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley should get consideration, too.Caldwell acknowledged that part of the reason Khan fired Bradley with two games remaining was to get a jump on the coaching search, especially after the Los Angeles Rams parted ways with Jeff Fisher last week.Khan and Caldwell discussed potential scenarios at the owners meetings in Dallas and decided later in the week to fire Bradley following Sundays game at Houston, win or lose.There are some dynamics that when the ball started rolling that we didnt want to be left behind, Caldwell said.Bradley met with local media for more than 35 minutes Monday. He held court inside a conference room at the Sawgrass Marriott in nearby Ponte Vedra Beach, going into detail about his professional shortcomings.He expressed no hard feelings toward the franchise and got emotional near the end of the session. He sat in complete silence for 15 seconds when asked his one regret from a four-year failure.Id just like to be here with this team when its successful, Bradley said. The regret I have is not seeing these players (win). When you go through something thats hard and then you come through it and you have success and you say, `Thats why we do it. Look at where it took you. ...I regret (that) because I do believe thats going to happen. I regret not being here to see that.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NBA Jerseys Wholesale .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals.

By Rich Shook, The Sports XchangeDETROIT -- Its one of the more anxious days of the season for players -- the last game day prior to Mondays nonwaiver trade deadline.Houston closes out its three-game series in Detroit on Sunday with lefty Dallas Keuchel of the Astros opposing Tigers right-hander Mike Pelfrey. Houston dropped the first two games of the series.There will be a certain amount of anxiety -- probably more in Houstons clubhouse than avowedly stand-pat Detroits -- of players on the bubble or those who have heard their names tossed around in trade rumors.Its difficult, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said, because youre uncertain of what can happen. Theres a general excitement around it because of the possibilities that are out there.Especially when youre doing well or your team has a winning record or theres talks of buying. The lines drawn in the fact that if we do acquire somebody, then somebody in the clubhouse is going away, either to the minor leagues or in a trade.Its a little unsettling until the deadline. But youd always rather be in it and be a buyer and be talking about making additions that you think are going to help your team get to the playoffs or into the World Series.The Astros are said to be shopping for pitching (isnt everybody?) while the Tigers are more focused on getting three key injured players back -- right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, right fielder J.D. Martinez and lefty Daniel Norris.It can add to the excitement, manager Brad Ausmus of the Tigers said. Even if it doesnt involve your team, just watching the moves around the country involving other teams. Well just wait and see. You cant let that distract you.Detroit will not be in action on trade deadline day; Houston goes home to host Toronto.Theres a lot of unknowns, Hinch said. Theres a lot of rumors and I think every one of our guys follow them. Theyll float by my office and ask a lot of questions. Well all know soon enough when the deadline gets here.You say buy, Detroit right-hander Justin Verlander said, I kind of meant the not-sell aspect. I seee what Mr.dddddddddddd Avilas (GM Al Avila) been saying and I completely agree with him. Weve got one of the best hitters in the game (J.D. Martinez) coming off the DL soon. Thats a big acquisition in and of itself. Weve missed him for six to seven weeks now.Then youve got a couple guys, (Jordan) Zimmermann and (Daniel) Norris, that are big for this team as well. So hopefully get those puzzle pieces back where they need to be and we just roll. Keep playing good baseball.I have to commend Mr. Ilitch (owner Mike) and Al for putting together what we all thought at the beginning of the year was a great ball club. So you look at the big picture, we have a great nucleus of guys here. I dont think you have to add anything.The Astros hope Keuchel can bring a little calm to the last day of games prior to the deadline and hes got a nice track record against the Tigers.Keuchel (6-10, 4.57 ERA) is not having a Cy Young season but he did pitch well in a loss to the Yankees in his last start, allowing two runs in 7 2/3 innings.He pitched eight innings of shutout ball at Detroit in their first meeting this season, going mostly soft, and over his career is 3-1 with a 3.03 ERA in five games against the Tigers.Pelfrey has faced the Astros nine times during his career and is 3-5 with a 4.56 ERA. Houston beat him the first time they met this year. He tied for the league lead with 29 double plays thrown last year and is at 24 this year.Ausmus said Saturday he will pitch Anibal Sanchez against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday with rookie Michael Fulmer getting extra rest and going Wednesday. Thursdays starter is not known but the manager said it wont be Verlander, who will get an extra day off.Houston, like Detroit, has an eight-man bullpen and this means it has only three bench players. Thats hurting the Astros now because two of those are regulars who are injured and the third is a catcher, who is always the last man in. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
