That streak goes back to the year before last.  Tell me again which coach could come into this club, with this talent and break that streak?

To be clear, this isn't a defense of UM.  Instead it is the simple challenge for you to prove your genius.  Who should be here that would have this working?  And toss in the switch to a 3-4.  Who could make that happen (a change that was universally praised on these boards) with this talent and be successful?  Give us the name.

Any average GM and coach combo would have had this team in FAR better shape.  This team is 1-6 with 5 of those losses being by double digits and our lone win being a squeaker against a team that currently has a 7 game losing streak.

Yes, the Jaguars were 1-15 last year, but they lost 4 games by a field goal or less and another by 4 points and this includes a game lost in overtime.  Last year's opening day roster had 16 rookies on it.  You could have brought back the exact same roster and they likely would have won another game or two just based upon experience.  Their #1 issue last year was quarterback.  Our quarterback last year could not only not find a starting job this year, but only commanded a 6th rounder to be another team's backup.  Despite being a rookie, Lawrence alone should have meant at least another couple of wins on top of that.  They then had a ridiculous amount of money under the salary cap.  They had more money available to spend on free agents than any other team in the entire NFL.  They then had first pick in each round of the draft and extra picks in the 1st, 2nd and 4th rounds.  They even had first option on any player made available on the waiver wire.  I think even an average GM/HC combination would have had this team in the 6 to 8 wins range this year.  Meyer's/Baalke's performance is completely unacceptable.
