Much like everyone else, I've got nothing to go on but what I read and see for myself.. I can't in good judgement make an assessment on him as an NFL coach just yet. What he's done in the past, I understand how people can be extremely cautious, but he also needs to be judged on how he's handling the present and possibly the future.. The NFL has so many acronyms tied into its name, and most of them are pretty funny, but some are also true.. No Fun League, National Felon League or Not For Long.. The NFL is a business, Kahn is a business man who's pretty much a self made billionaire. As long as he keeps the Jags in Jax, I trust his decisions and judgements more than any article, journalists or pundit. And I trust Kahn to do the right thing if Meyer doesn't pan out, thus, Not For Long..

Well, I think Shad has already shown that he's overly patient with failing leaders, so that makes this doubly concerning. I feel like this is a Boom or Bust hire but the man and his reputation tilted the scale towards Bust the day he was announced. If he busts are we going to have to wait until a letter from the NFLPA or a blaringly scandalous headline hits (something worse that the scandals we've already seen in the last three months I mean)? On the plus side, I really like the assistants he's hired, I think the question is how much will he listen to them? Again he's know as a micromanager, which makes his denial on the Tebow signing almost laughable, so I don't think he's up to the task with pro players instead of college kids.
