Remove your personal feelings about the specific parties involved and pretend you own a business and have a high level position open.  You’ve interviewed several candidates and the top one has never done the job before but is telling you to fire someone in your building he doesn’t care for as a condition of his employment.  I think in most cases you’d tell that candidate to piss off.  NFL is different than most businesses, but the way you’d feel about that scenario probably doesn’t change regardless of the industry.

To add, Khan has to think that the situation here is good with having a franchise QB already on the roster, extra draft picks and plenty of cap space.  Why would you concede anything in negotiation to a first time head coach in such a situation?

I think it's a slightly different scenario; imagine you're a business owner, and are interviewing top candidates in the field for a job opening. However, they all express reservations for working for a current executive, as they all have worked with him or worked with mutual contacts in the past at other companies, and discovered he enables a toxic work environment. You can not attract top talent any longer, and your interview(s) are drying up. At some point you recognize that you either settle for someone not qualified or that maybe, just maybe, you have a toxic guy on your staff.

if you have basis for your opinions beyond "look at that last game", we can entertain a discussion of points for or against a line of thought. So far we've not had that luxury.

Very well. It's no coincidence that when Bev was thrust into similar circumstances last year in Detroit and this year here, the players sll lauded him for keeping things together. He made it fun to be a football player again!
He needs this shot ... and so do the Jags!

Ok Baalke. Go back to sabotaging the negotiations. Posting here won't help you.

Which is ironic because the only way Baalke is staying on is probably because he convinced Khan that he wasn’t responsible for this mess of a roster

Khan has ran the worst team in football outside of one year for most of the past decade. I have been saying for years Khan is a horrible owner. None of this bs surprises me. He had loyalty to Caldwell like that

Bro, I would take Caldwell at this point. At least he had some draft gems and stability in the franchise front office.
