the jags can have this same roster, and without coughlin and with gus at coach we would not have made the playoffs, that is the truth

That has absolutely nothing to do with what you posted.

Do YOU think the Jaguars would have had this roster without the REBUILD.

that has EVERYTHING to do with what I posted.  I never said a rebuild wasn't necessary to gather talent.  WHAT I SAID WAS you should not allow a coach to have 4 years of 3 wins in a row and hide behind the rebuild moniker.

You can win quickly after rebuilding supplementing through free agency and making the right draft choices and having good coaching.  Good coaching is crucial

you guys are the ones arguing something different from the post.  Having Coughlin here last year and not Gus and us winning 5 more games than last year is EVERYTHING that I am posting about.

Rebuilding is eventually needed for everyone, unless you constantly are supplementing eventual replacements like the patriots.  Stop arguing something irrelevant.

Those of you who defended Gene for 4 years and Gus as well look ridiculous, and you can try to act like you dont all you want, doesn't change the facts

I can give multiple examples of rosters that were perceived to lack talent at the time, and then turned around instantly with a new coach... the rams is a perfect example, to anyone outside of jacksonville, we lacked talent last year, now look at the perception.. just listen to talk show guys gush about the amazing talent we now have

for many years in the nfc south, the team with the worst record would win it the very next year.  The bills have had one of the longest playoff droughts ever and were even giving away players this year and coaching still helped them get to the playoffs

no one is saying high draft picks and losing didnt help for a bit, but we have been doing that for 10 years and many picks never developed under awful coaching, then went on to have good careers elsewhere

It's so funny how some of you refuse to just admit you were wrong back then.  I still laugh to myself reading some of you make fun of Gene Smith when back when Gene was here, you defended him INTO HIS 4TH YEAR even.  Now you jump on the bandwagon of making fun of how bad he was.  Same thing for Gus.  Many of you defended him in year 3 when it was clear the guy was a bum at that point, now you laugh and make jokes as if you knew all along

Whatever makes you guys feel better, All I know is I am glad we finally got a REAL winner here again in Coughlin, who also took an expansion team to the playoffs with little talent at the time

winners know how to win, dont stick with losers for too long like we have done in the past

Sorry, you are really flailing in the wind here.

if putting me down makes you feel better about blindly following anyone who is coach at the time or GM at the time no matter how bad the results, then so be it, that's on you.

Get the right people in here running a football team, and things turn around much quicker
