When you don't have the defensive talent to be able to stop the run or rush the passer without asking it to do either of those things them you can't do anything.

The Jaguars have had a talent deficit at every position on the team except for offensive skill players for years.

A coaches job is to put his players in positions to be most effective, and to motivate them to give effort consistently throughout the game.

Do the Jags players play in the right position to make stops or make plays?

Do the Jags players play with effort throughout the entire game?

The answer to both of those is "no". 

So what are the Jags coaches good for?

How could they be better positioned? The defensive line and linebackers can't stop the run so the coach has to try to coach the secondary will enough to be able to recognize when they actually need to get back instead of crashing down to stop the run, then hope they do it right.

You're asking for the impossible. Last year caldwell had the same problems Nielson is having once guys got injured. This year it's not injury, is that they had to let go of players because of salary cap.

It all comes back to Baalke, you need a GM that can find young talent that fits the team's scheme. Baalke has only occasionally incidentally done that, and that's why the defense can't even stop backup QBs.
