JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone appears to have survived whatโs known in the NFL as Black Monday -- the day after the final regular-season game when head coaches of losing teams often lose their jobs.
Between Sunday night and Monday, the Browns fired coach Freddie Kitchen and the Giants fired coach Pat Shurmur.
A spokesman for Jaguars owner Shad Khan refuted an ESPN report over the weekend that Marrone would be fired after Sundayโs game against the Colts, saying that Khan would meet with Marrone and other coaches and staff by mid-week before there would be any additional front-office changes.
โAs you go through the year and you start hearing people, when they refer to Shad, say Shad and Tony or the Khans.
Tony Khan already is running the Khan family wrestling promotion, All Elite Wrestling, and has a hand in Fulham FC, Khanโs soccer team in Great Britain.
