McCarthy's main success before being hired by Green Bay was as a quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator. Coughlin built the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars into an AFC power in the late 1990s, getting to two AFC title games. Neither seemed prime for so much success this season, though. The Packers are extremely young, and Favre had little familiarity with many of his receivers. Their running backs co |

| (Best E Casino) - The Jacksonville Jaguars failed to stop one of the greatest teams the NFL has ever seen this past weekend, but that doesn't mean all is lost for the future of the franchise. The Jaguars suffered a 31-20 setback to the mighty New England Patriots in Saturday's divisional round of the AFC playoffs, capping an extremely successful season in which a star quarterback was born and a running back was brought back to life. David Garrard couldn't believe his ears when he was named the Jaguars' starting q |

| (Best E Casino) - We started hearing it towards the end of the season: If there was a team that could challenge the New England Patriots in the playoffs, it was the Jacksonville Jaguars. With a bruising 1-2 running back punch, the Jaguars would be able to keep the ball on the field and out of the hands of Tom Brady and the vaunted Patriots offense. The ground attack would negate all the stats about warm-weather teams winning in the north. This could be it, the end of a would-be perfect season. The Jaguars were on |

The 24-year-old was arrested at about 2:30 a.m. on Monday, a little more than 24 hours after Jacksonville's season-ending loss to the New England Patriots, according to a Florida Times-Union story on Tuesday. The paper, citing a police report, said that Hawkins refused a breath test after being pulled over for driving 64 miles per hour in a 45-m.p.h. zone, and his driver's lic |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Brent Hawkins was arrested and charged with drunken driving after he was stopped for speeding on his way home from a night out. The 24-year-old was arrested early Monday when deputies clocked him driving his 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe at 64 mph in a 45-mph zone, a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office report said. He told deputies he had three vodka and orange juice drinks during the night, the report said. He also told the arresting deputy that he had a previous |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -The Jacksonville Jaguars found their quarterback, developed a prolific offense and won a playoff game for the first time in eight years. Now comes the tough part: closing the gap on AFC powers Indianapolis and New England. Jacksonville is 1-8 against the Colts and Patriots the last three years - the main reason the Jaguars haven't won a division title and haven't advanced very far in the postseason. ``We're not there, but we're a good team,'' receiver Dennis Northcutt said.

Eight plays later - two of them runs by Maroney - and the Patriots had a touchdown and were on their way to Saturday night's 31-20 playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now the 21st pick of the 2006 draft - nine spots before the Colts Joseph Addai - is waiting for the AFC championship game against the San Diego Chargers next Sunday and another comparison by which he falls short.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -In a span of five plays in the fourth quarter, Rodney Harrison showed the Jacksonville Jaguars why he's still one of the most feared defensive backs in the league. Less than 30 seconds after being called for a late hit out of bounds, the New England safety picked off David Garrard to clinch the Patriots' 31-20 AFC playoff victory over Jacksonville. It was Harrison's fourth consecutive playoff game with an interception, tying Aeneas Williams' NFL record. ``I'm not trying to break any r |
