I was so impressed with how Doug turned around the disaster zone he inherited. He installed some confidence and standards and the players thrived in it. I didn't blame him for how last season ended and still thought he could get us out from the 0-4 start we had. We just needed to start doing the little things right again but there's so many things we just aren't doing well or right at this moment. 

I know everyone makes their own decisions on who's to blame. Doug, Baalke, the co-ordinatiors, the players but I can't believe the team I'm watching. We are so much better than this (I know people will disagree) and I don't know what the solution is right now.  

And the worry is Doug looks like he doesn't know either. But thank you, I was just having a moment, I know your right and Doug going fixes nothing. Plus he deserves to see the year out at least.

Id say he deserves to be tied to the the axle in the wheel well on the way home more than he deserves seeing this thing out to the end. Lol. I truly thought he was the coach to bring a SB to Jax. The offensive talent is close to that caliber, imo (gotta work on OL and figure out the ETN situation). But they're close to being what we want them to be and what they should be. The defense, however, is completely unacceptable. 

Doug showed us this off-season that he, unfortunately, is not the coach that is going to get us there. And honestly, I don't think Baalke CAN draft and sign FA players that fit his schemes at this point, because they're outdated. The skills players we have don't fit what he and Press try to do. 

At the end of the year, I hope Khans coaching shortlist includes young offensive masterminds, and his GM short list includes young ex-players. Oddly, with Baalke here, Khan should know exactly where to look to model the next GM/Coach pairing after..... San Fran. They, a long with Cincy, Hou, and a few others are showing the league the blueprint to success if you don't have Andy Ried.
