I really don't understand what some are reading in to this:

 

<p style="margin-left:60px;font-family:arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);background-color:rgb(250,250,250);">“I think we’ve suffered long enough,” Khan said, chuckling during a recent phone interview with USA TODAY Sports. “It’s been painful.”

<p style="margin-left:60px;font-family:arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);background-color:rgb(250,250,250);">But Khan thinks he’ll know if coach Gus Bradley, general manager Dave Caldwell and the rest of the staff are the right people to continue guiding the Jaguars over the long term without relying on the standings, the same process-based thinking that has driven his patience to this point.

 

I simply don't see anything in the above quote that suggest what others are apparently gleaning from the article.  Just more eagerness from folks who would have fired Gus before now licking their chops in anticipation their dreams may come true.

 

Regardless, I agree that Mike Smith would be a good replacement should it come to that.
