Now I know what your thinking, ESPN talking about the Jags, it's going to be negative but not quite.

Few bits from the article
[size=undefined]“After Tom’s departure, the conventional wisdom was you need to clean house, you need to do this, you need to do that,” Khan said. “It was like, yeah, we need to clean house, but the people who created the mess need to be part of cleaning up the house and that included me.
“… It’s just that you’ve got to be informed. ... Who are the players who are the core part of the team? Who needs to get paid? You can’t pay everybody, regrettably, so all of that and we could have done a lot better job, I think, over the last few years on a lot of those. I talked about any business there’s micromanagement, there’s delegation, and there’s abdication, and I think there were times people could have said, ‘Hey, you know, you abdicated.’ But, to me, I just want to make sure there’s a right amount of involvement. … And I think there is right now.”[/size]

Meyer also wants to upgrade the Jaguars’ facilities. He spent 13 years at Power 5 schools and fought the facilities arms race, where schools built plush locker rooms and player lounges, state-of-the-art workout, training and rehab centers and high-quality dining options. He wants the same thing in Jacksonville, so he’s pushing for a standalone facility that will include all of the above plus coaches offices.
If the players are going to be pushed and worked hard, they deserve to be treated very well. And if they’re going to use acupuncture or martial arts or massage to recover, they should be able to do it at the team facility instead of going elsewhere.
“We call it the culture of excellence and we expect everything to be the best of the best, and right now it’s not here at Jacksonville,” Meyer said. “There’s a lot of great things that are, there are certain areas that are not. My job, and I push really hard especially when you talk about health and safety of players, I expect it to be the very best. So, we’re pushing hard, and our owner, Shad, has been fantastic to listen and to learn about what we expect.”

Meyer drafted Clemson running back Travis Etienne 25th overall and the plan is to turn him into a Percy Harvin-type player, which is why Etienne took nearly all of his reps at rookie minicamp at wide receiver.
