Quote:Hollis' weak leg started getting even weaker on kickoffs. They simply had to replace him eventually. Quite frankly, if I had to pick between Hollis in his prme and Myers right now to nail a 55-yard game winner, I'd pick Myers.


 
Coughlin ultimately had to go because he lost his ability to draft players while overspending on free agents left them cap strapped. Early on he could pick them, but toward the end he had drafts worse than Gene Smith's. The Jaguars still had a talented team in 2000, but after that 7-9 season they began dumping expensive players to get under the cap. Coughlin finished 6-10 in 2001 and 2002, and with the team's fan base so spoiled with the Jaguars winning throughout the late nineties, the fans simply couldn't accept that. One fan even spit on Coughlin as he left the stadium for the last time.
