Here is the dilemma that I'm seeing. The Jags end the season against Tenn x 2, Jets, Raiders and Colts. They could easily go 4-1 or 5-0 in that stretch and say end with 6-8 wins.

If Pederson is still the coach, I could see both him and Baalke surviving based on saying "the team turned it around."

If Pederson is fired but Baalke is still in the building, he will tell Khan "see it was the coaches, I picked good players and you should keep me around."

Both of these would be horrendous outcomes, but I don't know how you convince Khan to fire both of them before that stretch of games.
