It's always funny to look back on things with 20-20 hindsight, but it's educational in getting to see who got things right early. Let's start with the 2015 preseason, the beginning of Gus's third season at the helm of the ship. People were expecting at least a .500 record thanks to the easy schedule the Jaguars were facing, and they were half right, the Jaguars did face a historically easy schedule, but a .500 record with Gus leading the way was a bit much to ask. Still some of us saw the problems coming well ahead of time and others didn't.

 

Heading into 2015 almost 3/4ths of the fanbase that bothered to vote still believed in him, I think this post speaks for itself: https://jungle.jaguars.com/index.php?/to.../?p=520501

How would the last two seasons have turned out if the Jaguars had followed my advice in the 2015 offseason and canned Gus and hired Marrone to be the head coach then? Probably would have won their first division title in 2015, but probably would have cost us the chance to draft Ramsey and Jack, so I guess there's that consolation at least.
