It's pitiful.
He is very guilty of hiring the wrong people to run his football team repeatedly.
And that's it.
Right now the team seems in a much, much better place with the only question marks hovering around the GM and the defensive coordinator.
The struggles of the team this season originally centered around the offense and now are firmly centered around the defense.
How much of it is about missing talent and how much is due to scheme and defensive coaching is unknown, but they are both an issue. How fans are watching that development and turning it into hate for the owner is a total mystery.
Dude lets get real. At the end of the day the results are what matters. Khan has one season at .500 or better since owning the team. Khan is good at building swimming pools and big Screens but does not have the know how to run a successful football operation. A real owner would fire Trent Baalke when you consider the amount of firepower he had going into this season. I can almost guarantee that Khan will take little to no action basing it on his past. Dave Caldwell had losing season after losing season while we only got excuses about it. Gus had years to run his ice cream buffet here.
I personally would rather see a new owner and take my chances with the team moving. I want an owner who knows how to hire the right personal to obtain a decent football team.Khan is too loyal letting losers run the franchise pushing us back years. We need a guy who can see things are not working and make the hard choice to fire personal when needed. I for one and so sick of seeing this team lose year in and year out under Khans leadership. The one thing this team has been consistent with under Shad is Losing. Facts are facts lets cut the bs.
Yes - Let's get real
Results matter and teams in this league go through much worse droughts than the Jags are enduring - and the Jags are currently on an improving path anyway.
Many owners don't how to run a football team and many of them didn't figure out how to hire the right people to do it immediately either. We are no different.
A real owner is doesn't bend to the half-informed, petulant whims of fans about team management. They evaluate on their own schedule. Especially when the results of the management in question are still playing out in front of our eyes and are yet undetermined. Unless you are so impatient and short sighted that you think the 2022 draft is all busts.
The facts, as they are, is that all you are doing is blaming the wrong person. Khan has failed to hire the right combination of manager and coach for several years, but he now has the coach in place and we may not know for some time if he has a worthy GM paired with him. I'll wait another year for that to play out, because we finally have a QB, we finally have a coach and many of Baalke's moves have worked out fine. You go ahead and jump the shark in blaming the wrong people prematurely.
I'll keep a calm head about it.
