Finally the day long awaited by most Jaguars fans has arrived; the first game day after the conclusion of the Urban Meyer Error in Jacksonville. As all know by now, Owner Shad Khan decided last Sunday to terminate Meyer with the formal announcement hitting the wire this past Thursday. OC Darrell Bevell takes the reins as interim head coach as the tinhorns come to town for a 1pm showdown of two of the worst teams in the League. With 4 games to play the feeling is that Bevell will lead the team until the end of the year then make way for a new coach in the offseason. There's no word yet on whether or not GM Trent Baalke will remain next season, but a clean sweep seems likely as Baalke played a significant role in the dysfunction of the past 10 months. For the first time in weeks I'm truly excited to watch a Jaguars game. Not because I think they will suddenly be a much better team, but because the removal of Meyer shows that Shad Khan is willing to go against his personal history and make the tough choice of firing his hand-picked leader when it's clear he was a detriment to the organization. That gives me hope for the offseason that Khan is learning from his past mistakes and we'll see a more effective selection process for the new coach and perhaps a new GM as well.

Commentary, thoughts, insights, observations, debates, arguments, and plenty of snark is sure to follow all night and day.
