Years doing it doesn’t equal success. 

Sorry- but having someone in a position like that, that cannot he fired. How do you replace the gm when he’s the owner? Sell the team?

I don't think we should overreact to the idea that "Tony Khan is going to be more involved."

He's not going to be the GM.  I don't think he would have any desire to do that, anyway.  I also don't think he would be the kind of EVP that TC was.  He's not that type of person.  

Now here's my opinion of what he should be doing if he wants to be more involved, and I hope this is what he does: he should be an extension of the owner.  Shad Khan is still a globe-trotting businessman who is busy selling bumpers and other car parts, with factories all over the world.  I don't think he has time to pay enough attention to the Jaguars to make it a winning team.  Someone has to pay attention for him, and the perfect candidate for that is his son, Tony.  Tony's role should be watching and listening, making sure there is an intelligent process for doing things, and make sure the HC and the GM have the resources they need to be successful.  

That is what I had hoped TC would be when he was hired as EVP of Football Ops, but apparently, he wanted to do more than that, and that resulted in 3 people trying to do 2 jobs, which apparently was a disaster.  I don't think the Jaguars should have an EVP of football ops of the type that TC represented.  I think the GM and the HC should be free to do their jobs without being micro-managed by some guy who outranks them.
