Quote:This isn't about Keenan.  He is a very good position coach.  The hype around Sullivan wasn't manufactured by the Jaguars PR machine.  This is a guy who has been coaching this position at a high level for a long time.  His reputation league-wide goes well beyond one player. 

 

If you went to the majority of teams in the league with Jerry Sullivan and Keenan McCardell as coaching options, the bulk would take Sullivan.  That's not saying anything negative about Keenan.  There's just more of an NFL track record to look at with Sullivan.  Keenan's time will come I'm sure.

Quote:When Sullivan got hired, I was living in a different city that had an NFL team.  The WR coach for that team lived in my neighborhood.  We made friends while grilling out at the community pool and we'd talk football.  I asked him about the Sullivan hire, and he said we could do better.  When asked why, he said he thought he was too old, and too oldschool when it came to coaching, and mentioned that there were better coaches available.  I thought about posting that here after he told me that, but I felt it would be a violation of his trust.  Now that it's been a few years and I'm back in Jax, I don't think it could be traced back to him, so I figured why not share it with you all.  Granted, that is one person's opinion, but he is more qualified than most of us.
