Shad Hired Caldwell in hopes of bringing a championship here.   I'm sure Caldwell laid out a plan to Khan on how this process was going to play out.  I'm sure Caldwell expressed this team may have some issues during the rebuild but I don't think Shad  expect to be 4-18 in this stage of the game.

 

Khan and Caldwell together hired Gus Bradley.  At this point Gus had done nothing to prove he should be an NFL head coach.  There are questionable decisions being made weekly that shows how incompetent he has been.

 

Then Gus Hires Fisch and Babich

 

Fisch:  This one is hard to judge.  Yes he has been handcuffed by lack of talent. He also had made some bad game plans that does not take advantage of the strength of this team.  Why do we keep throwing short routes when our QB has  cannon of an arm?  Too conservative

 

Babich:  This guy sucks.  The defense is way too soft.  We leave the middle of the field open every game.  This guy should be shown the door tomorrow cause this 32nd ranked defense has been terrible.  They have more talent than that

 

The Excuses:

 

1. This team is young:   Yes it is young but Caldwell is the reason why.  He cut every veteran on the team and was a cheapskate in free agency 2 years in a row. 

 

2. Gene Smith Ruined this team:  While true, we are 2 years in a rebuild that is showing little progress.  Bortles is the only bright spot with a flash or two of a couple of rookies.  When you progress you slowly get better.  I don't believe this team has progressed.  Yes we have looked better in the past two weeks but I think thats due to the scrubs we have played.  Crappy Cleveland just whooped that steelers team we lost too and the titans are terrible.  I don't see any progress outside of 2 or 3 players.

 

3. You build through the draft:  That philosophy works if you hit on most of your draft picks and we have not.  Joeckle looks like a joke, Cyprien is bipolar with looking lost most with occasionally making a good play, Gratz benched.  Bortles and Robinson has been the only bright spots. The rest of the rookies either suck or just don't make enough impact.

 

The Jags are near or at the bottom in both offense and defense in year 2 of the rebuild.  You got to wonder what Shad is thinking.
