Quote:I tend to agree with most of this post, although in most cases (not all) a GM usually gets a chance to hire 2 coaches especially if the talent is there. I have a feeling that this offseason Caldwell is going to attempt to bring in enough talent for Gus to show whether or not he's the guy and that the young players are developing enough for this team to win games. I think Caldwell's job hinges more on whether or not Bortles pans out. If the team is still losing next year but Bortles is shining Gus will probably be gone. If the team is getting blown out and Bortles is stinking it up, then there's a very good possibility both of them could be gone next year and once again we're back to square one.

 

I agree to a large extent what you mentioned.  

 

Most likely though,  if Blake Bortles is shining,  the Jaguars will win at least 6 games next season.   Especially under the assumption we both agree with that plenty of talent will be added in the upcoming off-season.    

 

If the Jaguars go 5-11 or worse next season,    I think there's a good chance the QB play won't be good enough for one or more reasons.   If that's the case,  I think a new regime is a very realistic possibility.   With the hope by Shad Khan that the new regime can come close to maximizing Blake Bortles'  potential.   Barring a career altering injury,   I think Bortles will have at least two more seasons to demonstrate whether he's the long term solution.
