Are you referring to 2017 in that last paragraph, or now (2020)? I thought the Jags should have hired a whole new coaching staff in 2017. Khan blew it back then. Sort of makes it hard to believe he'll make the right choice this time.

Current day 2020. Even if you want to say Caldwell is an average GM (i could argue he is/isn't myself) the next 2 years are so critical that I think you really need someone who is able to make a big picture and plan and follow through on it. Dave failed so badly at that they had to demote him and bring in someone no other team was willing to hand over personnel control to.

I think Coughlin was hired because Khan didn't feel capable of running the team, or didn't want to put in the time and effort it would take to do the job properly. He was hired to replace Khan, not Caldwell. If Khan was not satisfied with Caldwell back then he would simply have replaced him with Coughlin. I though that at the time and I still do. 

What I have read since then is that, rather than taking an overseeing executive role, Coughlin decided to micromanage the team. He dictated personnel decisions and salary decisions, and involved himself in coaching during practices. He did things far beyond what Khan intended. Khan was already not happy with Coughlin since he said that Coughlin would have been fired at the end of the season anyway if the NFLPA hadn't forced the issue.

I could be wrong about all of this, but it all fits together into a neat package. The only question remaining is just how far Coughlin went in overriding Marrone and Caldwell.
