3.  It makes sense if you thought Caldwell was more critical to the team's success (however limited it may have been) than Coughlin and less responsible for the team's regression than TC. 

So what would you have done at QB in 2019?  I get not signing Bortles to an extension the year before.  The most that should have been done is utilizing the 5th year option on his rookie deal, and I could see jettisoning him completely after 2018.  But who would you have to QB the team going into last year if you don't sign Foles?

Tannehill and draft Haskins. Start Tannehill and let Haskins sit and learn.

Foles for that kind of money was always a terrible move. Sign Tannehill for cheap.

Also you just said the team has gotten worse. They peaked in his first season (riding a wave of great luck and backup QBs) and have gotten worse ever since.

This team will most likely be bad again this year and so they’ll fire Marrone a year after they should have. It’s the never ending cycle of the Jags waiting too long to cut bait when the choice is so obvious.
