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.
Come on dude. We have been on this ride several times and can see the train wreck coming. Most knew after year 2 gus was not the guy and Shad gave him 2 more years. Most knew Dave was not the guy after 3-4 years and Shad gave him 7.
He has been evaluating on his own schedule. The results show that is not working. There is not a reason anyone sensible should trust his football knowledge to begin with at this point. I do not have confidence Shad will get us a consistent winner here. It's not jumping the shark when we have seen this same show too many times.
Tge time to win is now while the QB is on his rookie deal. If Baalke gets another season to blow it we are in a hole. After that we are paying the QB 9 figures and trying to rebuild from Baalke's mess.
substitute "knew" with "projected" and your statement is more accurate.
many of these same people "knew" Urban was gonna make us a winner because all he did in college was win. The same people knew that QB was solved when we signed Foles because he was a SB-winning QB who outplayed the Pats.
....Just what GM do you think is going to sign on to lead a team that demonstrates a short fuse (Urbz didn't last a year, Baalke gets two at most), has no cap room, has a roster that is at best average, has a recently-signed coach that is not likely going anywhere (or you start off with an unpopular move), and the team has little history of sound hirings before you?
Yes, we have Trevor. Outside of that, there's little to attract someone that wouldn't have the chance to completely build a team in their own design. I guess if you're not as ambitious, our limitations may make the first few years simpler, but very few GM candidates would be described as tail-draggers.
