Mike Mularkey's first season as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars will be his last.

Gregg Rosenthal provides a one-stop shop for all the latest head-coaching search news. Who are teams targeting? More ...

The team announced that newly hired general manager David Caldwell dismissed Mularkey on Thursday following a morning meeting with the first-year coach.

"I informed Mike today that he will not return as head coach of the Jaguars," Caldwell said in a statement released by the team. "I know Mike well and do not want anyone to misinterpret the rationale behind my decision. Mike is an excellent coach and I am sure he will succeed in his next stop in the NFL. However, I must do what I believe is best for the Jacksonville Jaguars and immediately explore every avenue possible to turn our football team around. For that to happen as seamlessly as we want, and as quickly as our fans deserve, I feel it is in everyone's best interests for an immediate and clean restart."

The move does not come as a surprise after Caldwell was hired Tuesday to assume control of the team's front office. Caldwell worked alongside Mularkey with the Atlanta Falcons, but the Jaguars under owner Shad Kahn are looking to turn the page after a disastrous 2-14 season.

"Mike Mularkey is leaving our organization with my utmost respect," Khan said in a statement. "Mike gave the Jaguars everything he had on and off the field, and his efforts as our head coach will always be appreciated. Mike will land on his feet soon. Until then, I wish nothing but the best for Mike and his family."

The assumption here is that Caldwell is going to pursue his former college roommate and current San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator, Greg Roman. With the 49ers set to embark on their NFC playoff run Saturday night against the Green Bay Packers, that reunion will need to wait, but Jacksonville didn't fire Mularkey without a plan.

Mularkey himself marched into a tough situation in Jacksonville a season ago. He was forced to coach players picked by the former general manager, Gene Smith. The mandate back then was to make the most out of second-year quarterback Blaine Gabbert, who largely failed under center and has likely worked himself out of a job in Jacksonville. The next coach will exist on the same page as the current front office, and all bets are off at quarterback.

Mularkey was one of the NFL's final head-coaching decisions left hanging in the balance. It's now clear the Jaguars have only begun their grand makeover.

Any Coach that can win a game with Blaine Gabbert is a miracle worker. Mularkey is that nikka for real. He will land somewhere else.

No surprise, most of the guys in Atlanta FO wanted him fired from Atlanta and they hired a GM from Atlanta.
