It was pretty clear from reports they knew Pederson didn't want to work with Baalke right off the bat.  Pederson was an afterthought from the first interview until Spielman came back into play.  Was rumored Tony Khan was also banging the table for Pederson

We know for a fact Pederson wasn’t the first choice because they didn’t offer him the job.

They offered it to Leftwich. And it wasn’t until a full month after Pedersons first interview and Leftwich telling them he didn’t want Baalke either did they circle back.

This is a disaster and no one is acting like we lost a SB winning coach. People are acting like the Jags have been incompetent the whole time and they let a good coach slip away. Regardless if you think Leftwich will be a good HC or not, they let a good coach who wanted to be here walk away because they can’t do anything right.

"Know for a fact"  lmao. Pederson didn't want the job because he didn't want to work with Baalke.  Just another reason they are going after Spielman and demoting Baalke imo.   I think Pederson was their first choice all along but he didn't want to work with Baalke.   The good coach did walk away but it looks like they can get him back with Spielman

This could have been because Pederson was an early interviewee who didn't want to work with Baalke, so they pursued other options - which led to Leftwich. And at what point did Leftwich say he wanted Baalke out and his preferred candidate in? From what I understand he was noncommittal about working with Baalke during the interview, so he didn't raise the concern about Baalke until later - perhaps after the initial offer was made.  

I don't think you can say for certain that Pederson wasn't a more desirable option than Leftwich. We just don't know that for certain.

Exactly, I think Pederson was their top guy all along, Spielman is the only thing that is saving their [BLEEP]

The Senior bowl is the most over-hyped mess I keep reading about.  How many times have Jaguars coaches coached there and had scouts there?  Still didn't help us pick the right players most of the time.

Because we had the wrong guy.  We coached Carr and drafted Bortles.  Caldwell still might have his job today if we took Carr. Just one of many examples
