Quote:the issue is our coach, and the losing atmosphere that has been allowed to reside here for a decade now.... This idea of "oh we are rebuilding so it is ok to win 5 games over the course of 3 seasons" is an absolute lie and fallacy.

 

If you have a good coach, you can turn things around immediately.  I am not talking going from 3 wins to 12 in one season, but you absolutely can go from top 5 pick to 7 or 8 wins the next year with a REAL competent coaching staff.

 

The Jags FO has allowed this to happen themselves.  They let horrible, pathetic, over their head coaches and GM's come here and lie to them that they need 4 or 5 years to produce a winner.

 

THAT is the problem.  

 

Exactly. While we're over here sopping up all this philosophical non-sense over the last four years. We've had to sit back and watch teams like the Redksins, Raiders, Vikings, Chiefs, Cardinals & now most recently the Eagles turn things around rather quickly. None of those coaches in Gruden, Del Rio, Zimmer, Reid, Arians & Pederson inherited perfect football teams by any means. They all had glaring holes and fundamental issues somewhere on their roster and they addressed it and got it going. Even before then with Seattle under Carroll. Carroll may have gotten lucky a few years earlier on playing in a then, weak NFC West. But at least his teams were capable of flirting with 7 - 9 all year. Under Bradley in four years this team has never completely finished a game or looked competent from start to finish over any two week period. And that speaks volumes.
