Winning solves everything. A team doesn't have to be a perennial playoff contender, just play competitively on a consistent level. Corporate sponsors and wealthy individuals do not want to wine and dine prospective clients, employees, family and friends at a venue with a team so bad that not only are they expected to lose, but do so in grand fashion. An atmosphere of utter defeat is not conducive to deal-making and entertainment. Especially when it's so bad even the hoi polloi is largely absent.

Khan is not in control of the NFL or the city, but if he truly wishes to stay in Jacksonville then he needs to change the thing in which he does have control - the franchise. Change the franchise and everything else will fall into place.
