Jacksonville, Florida — The Jacksonville Jaguars have hired Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey as their new head coach, a move the team hopes will help improve the worst offense in the NFL.The team plans to introduce Mularkey at a news conference Wednesday. The Florida Times-Union newspaper first reported the hire late Tuesday.Mularkey's Falcons managed only two points in a playoff loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. Nonetheless, his long relationship with Jaguars general manager Gene Smith made him a front-runner from the beginning of the search."Mike recognizes the challenge and opportunity before all of us, and that's to make the Jacksonville Jaguars one of the premier franchises in the National Football League, bar none," new owner Shahid Khan said in a statement.
