It can be argued that the Jaguars two biggest issues are the offensive line with it's ability to run block, and the Jags defense overall. 

A HC needs to be able to motivate the entire team, not just draw up a great offensive scheme.

Think it's more that everyone is eyeing the two offensive minds who happen to be caucasian, and see the defensive guy(s) being the candidates that satisfy the rule, while not being the preferred options. Nothing saying that they aren't qualified, just that they aren't what everyone thinks will be what gets the franchise over the top.

I understand the desire to get an offensive coordinator to be our head coach.  The obvious reason for me would be the stability that would bring to our offense, since the person creating that offense would not ever be hired away by another team.  But the most important thing in a head coach is leadership ability.  I want our next head coach to make this team tougher- tougher in the trenches, and tougher on defense.  People love Dan Campbell, but he was never one of those hot offensive coordinators.  Neither was Mike Tomlin, or Bill Belichick.  Leadership ability is what we should be looking for.  I've heard great things about Aaron Glenn.  People say he has a strong personality, and strong leadership qualities.  

I'm really tired of making this all about Trevor.  Trevor's fine, but what I want is a total team, a team that will smash people in the mouth, stop the run, get after the opposing QB, etc.  I want a team that has a personality, that makes the opposing team feel the pain.  I'm tired of trying to pencil-whip people.  I want to hit them in the mouth.
