Jaguars Coach Doug Marrone Says He's Going to Drink Multiple Beers Amid Rumors He'll Be Fired

Black Monday is just hours away, and there figures to be a plethora of names featured during the NFL's annual tradition of head coach firings.

Speaking just in terms of the Jacksonville Jaguars, the future of Doug Marrone has already been mentioned in a series of conflicting stories. ESPN reported that the Jags boss would be axed following the season, but owner Shad Khan came out and swiftly refuted that rumor. The sheer uncertainty must be a lot to take in for Marrone, as the 55-year-old head coach is apparently coping with the stress by seeking out beer. And not just one.

"Am I disappointed? Obviously. Am I concerned? Yes," said Marrone, according to the Associated Press. "You’re always concerned when you have a disappointing season. But for this moment, when I leave here, I might have a little bit more than one beer."

Ah, yes. One of those "little bit more than one" days.

It's nice to see Marrone offering up some levity with regards to his future in Jacksonville, which is surely hanging in the balance. Cracking open a second brew is no big deal, but let's not get CRAZY over there, coach. Know your limits!

Statement from Jim Woodcock, #Jaguars owner Shad Khan’s spokesman: "Reports that Doug Marrone will be dismissed after Sunday’s game are 100 percent incorrect. Owner Shad Khan will meet with his football staff, which includes coaching and personnel, midweek next week.”

In all seriousness, if Marrone is going down, at least he's doing it on his terms.
