What if Khan was actually so far out in front of this thing that he, or someone representing him, asked the union to include that? What if he knew the ruling was going against the Jaguars and said, "Look, I can make this go away very easily, I just need you to give me something to go on."?

The silence from the Jaguars, unless I've missed something, has been deafening. No loud attempts to justify their offseason training program and expectations of players in it, nothing saying that they acted in what they believed to be the best interest of the players, nothing about a desire to make sure that players were receiving the best care from licensed, experienced, reputable medical staff, basically none of the responses that you'd expect to see almost immediately from TC?

What if that whole last paragraph is in there because Khan wanted a way to go to TC and tell him to take a retirement package and spend time with his family or be fired for cause and get nothing? TC is a proud enough man that this might work from Khan's point of view. Remember that Weaver once said that the reason he fired Coughlin is that he didn't think Coughlin would be willing to turn over GM duties and focus solely on coaching.

This is nothing new regarding Tom and Caldwell. They basically throw Marrone out to the wolves in every press conference. The only time Tom came out was when he tried to plead with the fans to come out to the game.
