I agree with the premise that the right PERSONALITIES and PHILOSOPHIES may be as important as the actual X's and O's aspect of the hires.  If they have an offensive staff now that is firm and united in what they'd like to do, and if everybody gets along as far as personalities not clashing, then the offense can take a significant step forward with the potential for much more.  Apparently, Gus also talked to key players about what they were looking for, so we should see an even more stress-free environment where the young players can thrive.

 

I also like the way Gus went about this.  Gus continues to show outstanding leadership qualities.  The coaching staff got a lot stronger this week, and Gus recognized the need to improve the OL coaching in a big way  Maybe they couldn't count on George Yarno for 2015 due to health or other reasons.  I certainly wouldn't blame Yarno if his perspectives have changed following cancer treatment.

 

Anyway, I'm very happy with these hires today and we'll see how it plays out.  I think with another infusion of player talent at the right spots, the Jags could soon be a very good team.  I think the schedule isn't that scary for 2015 and I'd love to see the Jags pile up some wins early in the season.  This 0-10 business cannot continue.  Season over in October is no way to reward the loyalty of the fans.
