They don't hire them and tell them to change what they do well. That is what I said above (first 5 sentences)  We agree there.

Recipe for disaster IMO - unless your owner is a true football guy. It doesn't take a football guy to see the big guys pushing our little guys around (quote from my 93 year old mom)

And I disagree on the "bigger in then trenches" comments and direction as well. Since this was the annual "State of the Jaguars" report I do not agree Shad and Tony didn't have input on this. Jabbing Doug during this speech would only be a political loss for Baalkie in the Kahn's eyes. (basic psychology)  Baalkie is going to manage the way it is acceptable to Kahn or get his paycheck somewhere else.


I think that was 100% Baalke taking jabs at Pederson's ZBS and Doug's strong desire for ultra athletic linemen. I doubt Khan had anything to do with it.

At the end of the day no biggie. Disagreeing is at times quite good. ...Wink

Definitely all good. 

To be clear - here's where you lost me:

You said "You do not hire a coach and let him execute his vision"

But it would appear from everything you and I have said since then that what you really meant was "owners need to make sure they hire a coach whose vision aligns with their own" - which I agree with.
 I think if you hire a guy and have to tell him, no, don't do it that way, then you screwed up and hired the wrong guy. Not that you don't intervene - that's fine - but it is a bad sign if an owner is forced to do so. 

The problem in Jax with that approach is that Khan wants to lean on the GM and coach to sell him on their vision rather than mandating his executives find a coach that will operate under his own principles  of "x, y, & z"

No idea if Khan is now in a place where he can see clearly that his own vision deviates from Baalke and/or Pederson. 
But one would think the past decade has prepared him to have his own strong opinion.
