The first scapegoat was Jedd Fisch. Then it was Bob Babich. Then Greg Olson. Then Gus Bradley. Then Hackett. Then Coughlin and DiFilippo. Next Marrone. There are going to be history books written about Caldwell's unnatural ability to survive despite hideous results in a cut throat multi billion dollar industry.

Babich
was the worst DC in the NFL, one of the worst in league history. He was also terrible in Chicago. Not a "scapegoat" but guilty as charged.

Bradley was a real problem too. He created a culture of not caring which bled into every area of the team. Caldwell picked Bradley so there is some blame. At the time Bradley was a hot name for a head coaching position, and with no previous HC experience it was a blind guess. The pickings in 2013 were Andy Reid and meh (including Marrone). The Jags blew it in 2012 by not hiring Bruce Arians who was the guy I wanted. The other problem was that Bradley wasn't fired sooner. I have no hard proof but logic says that Khan (probably, but maybe Caldwell) promised him a full 4 years and wasn't going to go back on his word. That makes sense since the 2013 roster was essentially empty of any talent.

Coughlin was hired by Khan and fired by Khan which implies he was also guilty as charged. Seeing him on the field coaching during practice, the bad cap management, and the Fournette pick which had Coughlin's MO all over it is pretty much a smoking gun that he was micromanaging rather than just managing as he was hired to do.

I'm not sure about the OC's. None of them struck me as terrible. DeFillipo was clearly hired for Foles and fired as part of getting rid of Foles. The rest were probably fired for a failure to develop Bortles (as if that were possible).


Caldwell's draft picks have been good. He isn't much at trading picks, but his player trades have been better than I expected.
