Good head coaches don't need pro bowlers at every position before you start to see results. Good coaches make a difference with what they have to work with. They still may not win a lot of games, but you will see much closer outcomes with good coaching. Look no further than Tom Coughlin's last days here as proof. Bradley is 4-17 and presides over the 31st ranked defense and 32nd ranked offense in now year TWO of his tenure. Inexcusable at this point. The Jags point differential is pretty much just as bad this season as it was last year. 

 

IMO, we made a mistake with Bradley hiring a coach with zero head coach experience at any level. Hopefully that mistake won't be repeated. 

 

 

I never said anything about Pro bowlers at every position. But this Jaguars roster is clearly less talented than most of the other 31 teams, if not all.  And your Coughlin example is horrible because that 2002 roster was much more talented than the 2014 roster.  Is there a Jimmy Smith, Fred Taylor, Marcus Stroud, John Henderson, Mark Brunell or Donovin Darius on this roster?  

 

Now here's an example that backs up my assertion.  Jim Caldwell, in his first ever season as a head coach, went 14-2 and went to the Superbowl.  Two years later, he went 2-14 and was fired.  So, did he hit his head that year and forgot how to coach, or was it that one single Pro bowler was absent that entire year.  Sorry, players not plays, always.
