Nothing is getting fixed till he is gone.   I think Marrone should go but getting rid of Coughlin is #1. I think Caldwell has actually done a pretty good job working around the problems Coughlin has created:

1) Extending Bortles
2) huge contract to Foles
3) Drafting Fournette at 5
4) Drafting Taven Bryan
5) Running Ramsey out of town.  (getting 2 #1s and a fourth was masterful by Dave)

I have been a Coughlin supporter since the team's inception in 1995 up until this year. That being said, there's clearly something wrong with this team that runs far deeper than just injury and losing games.  That press conference wasn't a good look, he just seemed angry and defensive. As previous posters have stated, why even have this if you're not going to announce any meaningful changes for the remainder of the year? We need to hire coaches that don't have a 1970s football mentality.  And an EVP is just one more level of unnecessary management, IMHO.
