The Jaguars have a coach who can't keep himself under control. There's also a tremendous difference in player empowerment now that hinders that ability to rein them in somewhat. I'm fine with free agency acquisitions or a draft first strategy, because our problem is already here, pacing the sidelines with a confused look on his face most of the time.

True Urban Meyer can't keep himself under control, as evidenced by what happened after the Cincinnati game.

But all of these moves except for the trades of Henderson and Sidney Jones took place before Meyer got here.

Furthermore, Marrone was reputed to be a disciplinarian along the lines of Coughlin when he got here.  He took out all of the games in the locker room, etc.  Besides, Ramsey has stated he didn't have issues with Marrone, and in the aftermath of the incident in Houston, Marrone stated he had no issues with Ramsey.  It was Jaguars management he had the issues with.

The fact is, the team needed to do more to work through the issues with these players.

There is ZERO....and I mean ZERO excuse for there to be only one (1) productive player on this roster drafted in the first round between 2010-2020 (Josh Allen), when many of those players are still in the league.

There is scant justification for an approach that leads to  2-21 record over the last season and a half, so soon after reaching the AFC championship.
