But is Doug any better than JDR or Gus Bradley, his record says he’s not and they were not world beaters by any means. I’d give him the nod over Mularky and Urban so at best he is the 3rd worse coach we’ve ever had.

Gus had a 14-48 record here...

Jack had a 68-71 (69-73 if counting playoffs) record here.

Doug is currently 20-25 (21-26 if counting playoffs).

He's at the worst, the 3rd best HC we've ever had, but I still think the ship has sailed.

 Jack benefited from having the remains of the Coughlin Era his first several seasons here. Doug got to clean up the mess Meyer and Caldwell left on the floor then the glory of working with Baalke. I'd say Pederson did significantly more with infinitely less in his tenure. Hell, the aging Jimmy Smith and Fred Taylor were better in their last two seasons in Jax respectively than any player has been during Pederson's time here. I agree his time is likely over, but damn, people really have no ability to be objective about what he did here.
