"Earnest Byner has kept busy updating his resume.

As Maurice Jones-Drew's accolades accumulate, the former Jaguars running backs coach adds them one by one. Most recently, Jones-Drew was named to the Associated Press All-Pro team, and Byner doesn't think Jones-Drew is finished yet.

Coaches are judged by the players they coach, but now, Byner finds himself in a peculiar situation. The season after coaching the league's top rusher, Byner is looking for work. Even more bizarre: This is the second time in three years he's been out of work after coaching the NFL's leading rusher.

"Do I think about it? Yes," Byner said. "Does it bother me? No, not necessarily bother me. It's always a question, though, as to what do I need to do, what do I need to continue to do to make sure I continue on with my career coaching, and for my development as a coach as well. Not just having a job, but my overall development into being a head coach at one point."

Assistant coaches are often a casualty of head coaching changes because head coaches typically get to pick their own staffs. The Jaguars assistants were told they would have the opportunity to interview with the new head coach, but it's unlikely many, if any, of the offensive coaches will return.

Their situation starkly illustrates the impact of timing in the coaching profession."
