But I have a feeling this is an evolution with Shad Khan.  He gave this staff an ultimatum.  This was a playoff year, nothing less will be acceptable.  But there's no reason to fire anyone yet when we're still technically playoff eligible.

I think Shad has finally had enough of mediocrity and those comments before the season of "this is the best roster ever assembled" and whatnot, was more of veiled pressure on the coaching staff and FO that it's time to produce a viable product.

He seems fed up just like the rest of us after letting this experiment go for this long and people will lose their jobs. Like you carp8, I think the deathblow will be if we lose to the Tinhorns - especially in an embarrassing fashion. Nothing will be gain by firing the entire staff immediately but I think he might hire some consultants behind the scenes while this current staff is still in their positions.

Imagine writing a check for a quarter of a billion dollars essentially for our "franchise" QB and a $150 million dollar contract for Hines-Allen. These guys were our cornerstone players and they have fizzled thus far into this season.

I don't exactly understand what this means. Don't the Jags already have a pretty large, and well funded analytic department to help make decisions on rosters, players, etc? 

Do you mean like an outside audit of the entire football organization like the Bob & Bob from Office Space? If so, is that like football minds? Former players, coaches, FO people? 

Not saying it is bad idea. I'm just confused how exactly that would play out and how it could actually help. Shad has know he doesn't know football for awhile, but his fatal flaw has been consistently trusting the wrong football people. I would worry about the consultants he would choose to help him make any decisions.
