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 And honestly, I don't think Baalke CAN draft and sign FA players that fit his schemes at this point, because they're outdated.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.

I can't believe how bad the D looks. We've had some bad D's over the years but this one is right up there. It's how quickly and epically they collapse that gets me. They looked so good that first week in Miami, it's crazy how far they've dropped.

In an ideal situation, Ben Johnson as HC/OC and someone like Saleh as DC I'd be happy with but can't see either rushing to come here.

Not if they have to rely on Baalke as GM.... But, bring in a young GM who has played the game, and id be willing to bet the Jags can have their pick of whomever they wish. Opportunity to be HC of a team with a ton of offensive talent and a top pick in the draft, and opportunity to take over a defense that very likely has a brand new top pick added to it will be appealing....
