Let's stop being the worst team in the league before worrying about a coach who can give us a winning season, playoffs or a superbowl.

I was just speaking history facts. I wasn't claiming playoffs or superbowl at all, merely just saying the reality.

With that said, people are preaching about him being a SB winner etc etc, so we better get results and it better happen fairly soon. Somebody as accomplished as Pederson seems to be (in many peoples words) shouldn't take 2-3 years for results. We need to see real progress in year 1 and real serious progress in year 2.

6 or 7 wins in year 1 isn't asking much from a SB winning coach who's suppose to be so good and experienced.

This clarifies your stance a great deal for me.  Thanks,

With the above in mind, I agree it is important to put his hiring in context before setting expectations.

He is coming to a team that has finished in last place in the division the last four years, and finished with the worst record in football in each of the last two years.

This team still lacks talent in a lot of areas.

The team needs to learn how to win.

It'll take time to institute the culture change, bring in talented players who will not only fit his schemes, but be able to win individual match ups during games.

I am confident in his ability to assemble a good staff here.  I am also confident in his ability to change the culture and develop Trevor Lawrence into the QB we all think he can be.

I am confident he will take the TE position seriously...perhaps the first Jaguars coach since JDR to do so.

But it's not going to happen overnight.  Because we have botched the drafts before this year and because we are changing schemes (possibly returning to a 4-3)
