Anyhow, Khan will not fire him until at least the season has been over for a while. That’s just the facts of jags. If it was up to me, I would fire him if the jags are mathematically eliminated.

Corn for similar reasons. Not that I haven't given up, but the pessimist in me fully expects that if we send Doug packing we end up with another Mularkey or Urbz and end up even worse than before the upheaval.

I almost think Doug resigns before he ends up fired. If the combination of the pressure of the media's barrage of questions about job security, poor performance, locker room chemistry get to him, he may just pack it up and go enjoy his sunset years with the grandkids and a whole heap less stress. I'm putting the onus directly on Nielsen's head to either adapt scheme or depth chart to yield results or git gone.

The O is progressing and if they're succeeding in spite of Doug or Press, so be it, so long as they are succeeding. You cannot say the same for this Defense, and just like the O the roster appears so stacked that failure is not acceptable.

I just don't want us to go backward just to hope we can move forward. If we bring in fresh meat and have to wait another 2-3 years to get everyone on the same page or rebuild rosters to fit systems, it's just as bad if not worse than where we are today. It sucks and I hate that we seem to be perpetually in this stasis - we are either awful, flawed beyond expectation of success, or in a state of repair to correct past mistakes. Can't we just have something nice for once?

Del Rio came in and gave us the the good defensive teams. I went through the Gus Bradley era where we became the laughing stock of the league. Doug Marrone era gives us 1 good season. Urban Meyer stunk the place up, and in comes Doug to give us back to back winning seasons and a playoff appearance in his 1st year. This year reminds me of the 2000 season where  a play here and there changes the outcome of the season.

The Etienne fumble against Miami, the safety against the Browns. The dropped TDs, the interceptions. Your number 1 CB and LB out with injuries, your number 1 TE has missed time, your all pro return man went down. The interior defensive line being non existent, which is completely out of the head coaches control when a player lines up and gets whipped.

The defensive coordinator just didn’t work out. The personnel didn’t match. Brown is a lifelong backup but he’s your starter. Cisco is struggling in the man scheme. Johnson is seeing the field because Wingard has been injured.

Muma has been forced to play and he definitely don’t fit a man to man scheme.

Armstead was a swing and a miss. RRH was worse than Fatukasi was last year.

The offense scored 27 points today and lost. The defense is right up there with the worst it’s ever been. This secondary ain’t scaring anybody.

Coughlin was ran off too soon, I ain’t firing him. He knows what it takes to win a championship and I’m not giving the keys to another Gus Bradley for 50 games until a decision is made.

The Jaguars make the playoffs in back to back seasons if McManus just makes his FG against the Bengals last year.

It’s been a rough season, but I owe him at minimum 1 season to get it back on track.

You know, I was juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust about ready to stand and cheer this post on, and you done went and screwed it up. Kinda like the Jags on Sundays.
