We as Jag fans put us where we are for the last 12 years. The year before Weaver fired Coughlin I knew Weaver would feel he had no choice but to let Coughlin go. The fans were calling for it and Weaver was concerned about ticket sales as attendance was dropping I also knew it was going to be a mistake but obliously did not know how good of a coach he was until time has played out. As fans go Jags are a lot like other teams but being novice NFL fans at the time had no understanding what Coughlin had accomplished. Jags went .500 4-4 in playoffs and to 2 AFC championships. In total now he is .632 12-7 in playoffs and has won 2 SB. I remember for a year and a half before Coughlin was fired thinking the fans are going to regret what was going to happen. I don't know if Weaver proposed taking General Manager duties away from Coughlin or if Coughlin would have even accepted that but obviously Coughlin gets more out of his line up than most other NFL coaches. Jags would have gone through difficulties for sure because of the salary cap hell Jags were in which Coughlin was individuually responsible for. Jags were very fortunate for the 2002 expansion draft to shorten what would have been a longer and more serious salary cap problem. Going back to why I believe Jag fans are responsible is because if Coughlin had continued to be coach we most certainly would have been more competitive and won more games. I am not saying iwe would have won a SB but we certainly would have performed better than we have. I am thankful for Weaver bringing NFL to Jax but had Kahn  been owner there would not have been the financial pressure to cut Coughlin as soon as Jags attendance plummeted in 2002 Coughlin last year. Weaver has even stated his biggest regret(mistake) was letting Coughlin go.
