Totally agree.  Trevor is not playing well.  But this is far and away a Front Office and Coaching Staff issue.

I'm totally fine with keeping Lawrence for another 5 years here.  But you need to get a real HC that has the passion to be great and comes from a coaching tree that has experienced greatness.

Mularkey was a washed retread, and Shad fired him quickly.

Gus Bradley was a hopeful hire.  It was a time when getting an up and coming Coordinator was beginning to be popular.  But it was clear he was out of his element and also a Defensive minded HC.  He was given too long a leash, but I get it.  It was Khan's first hire.  

Then, after trying for a young minded HC, Shad and Caldwell went back to the retread Model.  Marrone was OK.  But he wasn't ever really inspiring.  He got us to the AFC Championship, but at the end of the day, the team never lived up to their potential.

Then we fired Calwell, hired Baalke and then got the "savior" HC in Urban Myer.  That was a disaster.  But it was another attempt at trying to get an accomplished college HC to maybe turn things around.

And here we are with a SB winning retread.  Which looked promising, but clearly Doug isn't passionate enough to really run the offense like he was expected to do.  

All this to say, I think Khan has been doing all he can possible do to find the right HC and right GM.  I think Khan sees that it's time to really clean house in the Front Office and Coaching staff.  If he can actually get a true NFL professional to find a GM that is competent that can then go out and get a good young, offensive minded HC, I don't think we have to do an entire rebuild.

We don't have to get rid of all our talent.  We just have to get rid of our GM and HC.  There's plenty here to be competitive.  But we need NFL pros that have experience, but are young enough that they are hungry to grow Jacksonville instead of come here to collect thier final paycheck.

2022 was Pederson's system.  2023 was Press.  And now 2024, they both are trying to work on it together.  

Each year, the offense looks different, at least that's how it looks when I watch on Sundays. This coaching staff, in my opinion, just keeps throwing spaghetti against the wall wondering which noodle is the correct one without actually taking the pasta out of the pot.  There's no real vision of what this offense is.  And there hasn't been a real vision for the entire tenure of Doug.  It's hard for a QB to be successful when every year they keep changing the schemes, game plan, and identity of the offense.  We've been schizophrenic for 3 years now.  It's just not going to work.

If I've learned anything from your inane ranting 

Thanks for insulting me so soon.  It allowed me to not waste my time reading the rest of your hatred.
