FYI, for all the genius analysis that Del Rio was a clueless coach, or Koetter was a terrible offensive coordinator, how's it working out for Jack in Denver or Dirk in Atlanta right now?  I know it's fashionable for malcontents to constantly demand the coach be fired because he's the reason for the team struggling.  It couldn't possibly be the fact that there wasn't any talent on the team he was trying to develop, right?  Must've been the coaching.

 

 

 

 

Oh please, how "great" is it going for Jack now??? I seem to recall his defense vs Baltimore last year in the playoffs getting abused. But we were used to that. Jacks defenses vs the cupcakes of the league would look good, but whenever there was a big game late in the year/ or playoff game, how'd Jacks defenses do then?....just as they did in Denver vs Baltimore. 

 

As for Koetter....speaking for myself, I liked Koetter. I don't think Koetter was ever the main problem here regarding the offense. His success in Atlanta should surprise no one. 

 

I also recall you ripping my posts which blasted the Mularkey hire. There was no way around it - the Mularkey hire was terrible. It was at the time of the hire and was the entire time he was here. It made zero sense to hire a head coach whose resume was so shoddy. 

 

Quote:I've been to every game played in Jacksonville and a season ticket holder every year up until this year. What made the last 10 years tolerable was tailgating with friends before and after the games but this year the rest of the group decided not to renew their tickets.

 

I decided to save the $300 parking, $62 preseason tickets, and ride the shuttle. I'm still in the stadium on game day quite frankly because I have nothing better to do on Sundays which now is easier on my wallet. It is frustrating to see the decline in the team without any hope of a turnaround. I fail to see how anybody can look at the people in place and conclude we have the personnel to turn this thing around.

 

All organizations are built from the top down. I don't like the Stache which I've stated many times. His decision to go with an unproven GM, who hired an unproven HC, who hired unproven coordinators, after coming off 5-11 and 2-14 seasons was just plain ignorant when there were proven guys out there. I am fully aware of the methodology of turning everything upside down and start fresh with new people and new ideas but this was not the time to do so.

 

From now on and until we field a winning team, gameday Sundays will be known by me as the "Stank at the Bank"

I like the Caldwell hire (not completely sold but like it better than some of the alternatives like Gamble) , albeit preferring the NY Giants dude...still on the fence regarding Bradley if anything because its an offensive era and I think going with an offensive minded head coach was the way to go. 8 head coach openings were available last offseason and 7 of them hired offensive minded head coaches......ONE hired a defensive minded HC. I remember saying back then that it was key that if you do hire a defensive head coach to get a bona-fide great, proven offensive mind in here as OC. That didn't happen. Before Khan signed off on Bradley he should have been more aware of just exactly who Bradley would have been able to land here as an OC.....if it wasn't legit enough, Bradley shouldn't have been hired. Thats on Khan. Thats part of the head coach hiring/ interview  process and apparently Khan messed up on that somehow, either via ignorance or buying into Bradley too much too soon. Its why I went on back then that they should have waited to interview Roman before deciding on Bradley knee jerk after 1 interview. Khan interviewed Caldwell 3 times before offering the gig to Caldwell, similar patience should have been exercised on Bradley/ the head coach hire.
