Listening to Boselli and Frangie speaking of the Jags is like listening to North Korean radio talk about Kim Jung Un --- we love our leader.

Yeah well. Those two are fairly close to Coughlin who, by all accounts is a great guy away from football. He was also a coach who got great results. The NFLPA thing though was a real whopper. Performance aside, that alone was enough for a firing.

He does a good job evaluating talent, but, at least up until now, I believed he was hurting the team by not retaining quality free agents and making some poor choices with resignings. However, if these choices were on Coughlin, I think Caldwell has done well enough to be given a second stint. He made some questionable choices with first round picks, but, by and large, he has given this team depth, even if he hasn't maintained it (and Coughlin could be the reason why).

I can't say the same for Doug Marrone, though. Even if Marrone is trying to keep together a disgruntled team due to Coughlin, there are enough questionable coaching choices that have frustrated me to no end. I don't know. Maybe Coughlin is micromanaging too much.

Pretty much exactly where I stand. Caldwell has done some good work, with some inexplicable decisions in free agency and retaining players. If there's an explanation that might well let him off the hook. Marrone, though, is damaged goods here now. Wish him the best in another Coughlin-free role and move on.

I wouldn't be too pissed if Caldwell stayed but I think all three need to go to give this team the clean start they need. Caldwell has picked some bad some good and seems to have improved in some of the more recent drafts but I think we can do better. Hope SK sees it that way.
