Quote:It goes without saying Greg Olson was not the primary issue in Jacksonville. All coaching problems begin at the top. Someone had to go and Olson was a good candidate for that.

 

Like players, Dave Caldwell made rookie mistakes and got better with experience. Jacksonville is his first GM job, so I gave him a pass in 2013.

 

  Sometimes a HC is doing an overall good job but made a mistake with a Coordinator hiring.   That's probably not the case in Jacksonville.

 

  In 2013,  Dave Caldwell didn't have the opportunity to make all of the changes in the scouting staff he wanted until after the draft.   That's the nature of the NFL when a new GM is in place.   Despite that,  it remains to be seen how much stock Shad Khan puts on the Jaguars 2013 personnel decisions.   Even if Caldwell gets a free pass from the vast majority of football people in and out of the league,   all that really matters from a Jaguars perspective is what Khan thinks.
