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. 

I posted after that January State of the Jaguars report I felt he is beginning to have his own opinion. That bigger and stronger came from him.  Let's face it in 2023 it was on display those last games.  During the 49ers home game you could see it on his face. He also made a few other remarks like "I expect to win" putting people on notice. they can sell him on some things, but they better now deliver....  Maybe after 10 years it is more like he has watched and knows what he doesn't like. Who knows just an opinion.
A new broom always sweeps clean.
