Was the tank plan in effect before the start of the season?

Quote:I think the plan was to gut the roster, which they did.  Then they could start the process of rebuilding, which they're doing.  I think they recognized that this was a team that had won 7 games over the past 2 seasons, and the roster was so comprehensively bad that there honestly was no quick fix, so rather than focus on more wins, they've put their energy into building a team that will have deeper roots and the ability to have sustained success.  I don't think they were planning on tanking, but I've got no doubt they recognized that if they followed this process, it wasn't going to be a season where improvement would be immediate.
Nobody is asking for immediate improvement.  The coaches, owner, and GM all said their goal was to put a competitve team on the field.  I and most others expected plenty of losing.

 

What I and many others didn't expect is to see a team getting destoryed every week.  We can't even lose a game by less than 10 points.  Thats not bad but flat out terrible.

 

The coaches and the Gm have failed the 2013 Jaguars.  It was going to be bad regarldess but there does not seem to be improvement in any area aside from the secondary which plays decent at times.
