Doug walked into to the biggest dumpster fire we've ever been. Back to back #1 picks, a bad roster, the Urban experience. We've had some bad times but that was the lowest of the lows. He turned the team around very quickly and overachieved with a mix of young guys and FA pickups. Last year started amazingly and we all know the late season collapse but it was our first back to back winning seasons in over 20 years. It's an embarrassing stat but something many other HC's have failed to achieve for us.

Baalke needs to go. No question about that. Nielsen is a dead man walking barring some miracle turnaround. The O is so hard to judge now we have this Pederson/Press blurring of responsibilities but the O has shown its good and bad. If we bring in a GM that feels they can work with Doug and hell work with some changes to his staff and Doug wants to stay and fight, I wouldn't be stunned to see him get one more year.

It's easy to say get rid of Doug and if your bringing in someone like Ben Johnson then great, but if it's another teams trash, is it a step up or another sideway move and we're here again in 2 years?

I agree. If McManus makes his FGs in Cincy last year then we wouldn’t be having these discussions. It ain’t the coaches fault the kicker couldn’t make his FG. 

As a Jaguars fan, if a coach gives me a winning season 2 years in a row, then I at least owe him 1 season to get it back on track. 

As a Jaguars fan, I’m not in a position to turn my nose up to the only Head Coach in Jaguars just that has a won Super Bowl Championship ring with any team. As a Jaguars fan, I’m also not in a position to turn my back on a head coach that came in and helped us get to the playoffs in his 1st season. I’m also not in a position to turn my back on a head coach that helped the Jaguars a playoff game in his 1st season, and then start the next season off with a record of 8-3. 

A question for all Jaguars fans: Can we at least give him 1 season to get it right? He’s earned some good faith credit with what he did after taking over what Urban created.
