Latest draft hot off the presses.  (Hey I actually made a deadline!)

While I remain true to my loyalty to Jack Del Rio as the Jaguars' head coach, I'm not stupid, and I wasn't born yesterday. The Jaguars will, more than likely, have a new head coach going into the 2012 season. There's a lot of big names floating around, and I put some of them in a poll. So, now's your time to pick. Who do you want as the Jaguars' next head coach?

Who would you like the next Jaguars' head coach to be?

The Jaguars are 1-4 and will most likely be 1-7 by their bye week.  It won't get any better if they keep playing the way they have so far.  They will not beat the Steelers,the Ravens or the Texans playing this bad on offense.  I honestly don't see them winning more than 2 more games at this rate.  Maybe the split with the Colts and catch the Browns off guard, but I can't see them winning any other games if they don't figure out a way to turn this offense around in a hurry.  Del Rio might be gone by mid-season if this continues.  I know that the players have his back and that he's probably doing everything he can think of to get a victory and lots of fans like him, but until they actually start winning games it doesn't amount to anything (except in the loss column). 

I've been trying to find a way to put a positive spin on a 1-4 record, but it can't be done. With a 2-3 record, I could say something like, "They're only 1 game from being a .500 team," but I just can't do anything of the sort with a 1-4 team.

The Jaguars' losses have been hard to watch, not in the same way that last season's blowout losses were, but difficult none-the-less. The Jaguars are certainly trying, but the results just aren't there.

I said earlier in the day that this is the time where a team will either show it's resolve or it will crumble under the weight of disappointment, and I'm hearing about some encouraging things.

For one, I'm reading that the Jaguars had a "players only" meeting sometime Monday. While the contents of the meeting are being debated, I can say this with certainty. Players are stepping up and taking charge. That's the first step to rebounding.

The Jaguars will have a tough time getting a win this weekend against the defending AFC champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers. A win isn't out of the question, however. The Steelers have struggled to run the ball as effectively as they have in the past, and their offensive line is shaky at best. When it comes down to it, the Jaguars just need a win. It doesn't matter how ugly or how pretty it comes. They just need the "W." That's all we, as fans, want; that's all the Jaguars want; And, that's all that Wayne Weaver wants. As the late Al Davis would say, "Just win baby."

So, as we move towards the Steelers game, a game that could very likely kill any hope left in the Jaguars' season, just don't stop believing. That's all we've got left.

Everyone reading this knows that I'm a big Jack Del Rio supporter. Del Rio is not only a good person, he's a great coach. The players love him, and if you don't believe that, go watch this video on Jaguars.com. It contains excerpts from Del Rio's, MJD's, and Gabbert's post game press conferences. As the players in the video say, it's all about execution, and something has to change.

Now, I support Jack Del Rio, and I hope the team turns it around in a hurry, but I'm not stupid. I realize that he will probably be fired at the end of the season, if not much earlier. I acknowledge that, and I can live with that. What annoys me, as Alfe Crow has pointed out, is that Gene Smith isn't taking a similar level of heat as Del Rio. True, he will be by the end of the season if the Jaguars woes continue, but in my mind, he hasn't given Del Rio a talented enough team to win games. It's that simple. Screw the "players not plays" mentality. I'd like to make it read "players not coaches," and that puts the bulls-eye squarely on Gene Smith's chest.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way for the week (or the day perhaps), I can move on to talking about the Jaguars. There's no doubt in my mind that the Jaguars should have won on Sunday, as was the case in Carolina 2 weeks prior. The Jaguars should be 3-2, but instead they're a woeful 1-4 and looking for answers.

The Bengals scored the game winning touchdown after Matt Turk shanked yet another punt, giving the Bengals the ball at about the 30 yard line. No, not the Bengals' 30 yard line, the Jaguars' 30. There's no doubt that this defense is much better than last year's unit, but come one. That's asking too much, too often of the Jags' defense, and it cost them the game. The Jaguars worked out punters today, and they'll likely replace Turk in the immediate future.

The other problems have stemmed from a lack-luster offense. The Jaguars started the game with a great touchdown drive before promptly returning to their mediocre form of an offense. Del Rio has been criticized for settling for field goals inside of the 5 yard line, but it was the right call. The fact is that they couldn't score from that distance 3 plays in a row, and points should never be taken off the board. There was no guarantee that they would make it back to field goal range at that point. In hindsight, of course you go for it both times, but JDR didn't know his punter would practically give the game away. That's football, and he made the tough decision. I had no problems with it.

The Jaguars head to Pittsburgh this weekend. This is where this team will decide what it wants for the rest of the season. This is where teams will either roll over and die, or they'll fight to the bitter end. Let's see if the Jaguars have any heart left in them, because that's what they'll need on Sunday.

Here is my latest Two Round Post Week-4 Mock draft.  I will have analysis and a new mock, with new rankings on Thursday (I also will release a 5 round mock before the weekend).
