Jaguars extend Tom Coughlin, Dave Caldwell, Doug Marrone
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars' trip to the AFC Championship Game and the franchise's first division title since 1999 was a fantastic achievement for executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin, general manager Dave Caldwell and head coach Doug Marrone -- but owner Shad Khan is more excited about what's ahead.

That's why he added two years to each of their contracts, which were originally set to expire after the 2019 season. They now will run through the 2021 season.

"The decision to extend the contracts of Tom, Dave and Doug isn't so much a reward for last season, which no doubt was impressive, as it is to recognize their importance to our football team this coming season and for years to follow," Khan said in a statement on Friday afternoon. "We're past celebrating the accomplishments of our division title and playoff run, and now it's time to take the next step. We need the right leadership firmly in place to make that happen, and it's good to know we'll have that with Tom, Dave and Doug secure in their roles with the Jacksonville Jaguars."
