Quote:"Khan said he won't give Gus mandate on 2015 win total to earn a fourth season."

 

I interpret this to mean that there is no specific win total Bradley needs to achieve to get to year number 4, but there is no guarantee in that quotation.  The team needs to continue to improve.  Although I see no way of this happening, if somehow the Jags regress and only win 2 or 3 games while getting blown out frequently next year, his job could indeed be in jeopardy.  Fair or not, it's a reality.  Again, I don't see this happening.  Since this team is almost uniformly young, when they do turn the corner it's going to seem to happen all of a sudden.  So I could see them winning 6 or 7 games next year and then in year 4 suddenly winning 12 and winning the division (if everything turns out like Caldwell thinks it will).

In the London interview, Mr. Kahn said while winning is certainly the goal, as long as he can see improvement happening, he will be patient...He then said that improvement is not always reflected in the  w/l ratio... He also said that the Jags are "just about" right where they expected to be right now and a few lost games should have been wins...(pharasing)
