How do the fans let Khan know they want Meyer gone? I 100% agree that not buying tickets or merch would send a message, but I don't think that's likely. People spent money on those tickets and they want to use them.
A billboard? Hashtag? This is a serious question. Not that it would actually work but who knows, if you get thousands of fans to do a poll or petition and get it to the media...maybe that sends the message? I don't know, just tired of this. I have been here since I was a young boy and I don't think I've ever felt this done with a coach...and we've had some bad ones. Hell even Gus could make me feel like things COULD happen. I don't believe a damn thing Meyer says...
It is becoming increasingly clear that, like so many players that have come here, Meyer is here on the Jaguar retirement plan. As long as he hangs in, he gets what, 12mil? (dont know the exact nunber) Or some kind of a buyout. I dont think he returns to college, this is it for him, so he's not going to squander his payday by resigning. We are stuck with him unless Khan fires or buys him out, and his track record on this speaks for itself. Best case scenario for us as fans is for him to somehow develop into a competent HC, and right now, that seems years away.

Oh I agree with you, I'm just wondering maybe Khan is sitting in his yacht somewhere and he doesn't really realize how upset the fans are. So maybe if it gets put out there that Jaguars fans have put up a billboard or started a change.org or something like that and the media picks it up. Maybe Khan will hear that. Or maybe that's a way to get a boycott started so fans don't go to the stadium. That's all I was saying. Maybe Khan thinks the fans want Meyer to stick around, we need to tell him we don't.
You think an egocentric billionaire got where he was listening to "the help"? He doesn't care.
Mr Khan will keep UM/TB for a minimum of 3 more year years before he realizes that its not working. Then he will wait another year before making any changes. By then it will be the beginning of UM 5th season reign and he wont make any changes during the season. He will write a very nice letter or 2 to the fans, and freeze the season ticket prices, but spend the rest of his time counting his money
Khan is just counting his money. He doesn’t know football.
According to Vic Ketchman, Wayne Weaver told Shad Khan that his biggest mistake as owner was listening to the howls of the fans and firing Tom Coughlin. It appears Khan has taken that cautionary tale to a fault.
Khan knows the fans want Urban Meyer and Trent Baalke gone. No one on earth can be that blind and naive. He doesn't care though. When he hired them he announced to the media that he finally "got it right." To fire them now, would be a clear signal that he failed once again and rich, powerful people HATE doing admitting they failed at anything. He's gonna just keep watching this thing go further and further south, hoping that Meyer finally gets a clue and leaves on his own (which will never happen.)
People could start a GoFundMe campaign to buy billboards around the city announcing that they want a new regime, but the only thing that will do is bring some national attention to the problem, embarrassment Khan even more and he might just get mad and move the team, rather than do the right thing and admit his mistakes and start over. As fans, we are slaves to ownership. We are powerless. Our loyalty to the team is like being chained to a dank, dark, brick wall where we are constantly fed crap just to keep us alive. There's no help on the way and no hope of ever escaping.
The new Jaguars' motto should be....... Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Khan doesnt care about you or the fan experience. He'll milk your nostalgia for all its worth until it's time to move.

An immediate ultimatum from every season ticket holder, especially those in club, luxury box seats: He goes, or we goes, and a steadfast resolve to not renew any seats as long as he remains employed.
Khan is a capitalist, a banner or change.org petition won't mean crap to him.
Are you guys listening to yourselves?

Khan is responsible for the hires and the shape the team's in from a football perspective. Lamping is responsible for the fan experience in the stadium outside of what's happening on the field. To their credit, they're doing a good job making the franchise economically viable in today's NFL. But from a fan's perspective, it's never going to improve as long as those two are in charge.

Agreed. Fired over 2 consecutive 6-10 seasons. That would be considered progress with this franchise today.
Come on, people. Shad Khan isn't going to fire a head coach who hasn't even finished his first season.

Are you hearing voices too?
My Terps just had their basketball HC resign because he said the environment was so bad that he didn't feel like he could do it anymore.
The environment he's speaking about would be the fans booing him, creating many twitter accounts with all his excuses (he loves to throw his players under the bus too) and making him reach a point of no return.
JUST GOTTA DO THE SAME.

I do, and I certainly wouldn’t voice them in a carping tone like a panel from The View.
I just keep thinking of Band of Brothers.. the only way to survive is to except we are already dead.
This team is just another investment to Khan. He checks on it here or there to ensure that it’s making money. Makes weak changes to appear concerned. But as long it profits, and in the nfl no team will be operating at losses, he has no motivation to change

I know for a fact that this will not work. Before the lame duck season, Khan was informed many times that the Business side of the team could not sell anything because of the performance of the team and the fans wanted all the coaches and GM gone. They were very desperate and I randomly meet the leader of the business side, so had his contact info. Opinions were made known about our tickets and they even offered to give a bunch of Jag stuff to try and keep us (original season ticket owners but not a ton of money to the Jags bottom line). Told them the offers were great but didn't need the additional access, I needed the team and ownership to put in the effort to be good.
We still got the lame duck year because he didn't care enough to fire and pay the coaches and GM.
Khan just don't want to be someone like Jerry Jones. He wants to let the football people run the team and he can work on the business side to increase his profits. While he wants to win, profits will make the winning not matter. As long as he isn't losing money, it isn't that big of a deal on the performance of the team.
