Quote:Diehards like me will renew no matter what as the games are more than W's and L's for us. New fans will need to see some change and it will most certainly come. Folks that are hopeful for Coughlin would more than likely be older fans who have given up tickets for whatever reason that might come back. I doubt that number would be huge. To younger possible ticket purchasers Coughlin is just some dude who got fired from the Giants.

 

It will take a season or two of consistent winning to build the season ticket base back up. There was although a reported 63000+  sold for yesterdays game though there certainly was not that many folks there.

 

This was supposed to be "Generation Jaguar". Kids who weren't born in 1996 were supposed to have their own money now to buy their own tickets. The Jaguars couldn't have timed their irrelevancy any worse to be honest. 

 

In this "what have you done for me lately" world, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these younger fans already hitched their bandwagons to a better team.  Coughlin has excelled early on in his tenure on both the Jags and the Giants. So what if he wore out his welcome a decade later. We can't really afford to be picky to be honest. Everybody likes to pretend the Jaguars are some hot destination for coaches because of our raw talent. I don't think that is really the case. Coughlin may end up being the best choice we have.

 

Also, you KNOW what you are getting with TC. Do you really trust Dave Caldwell to mortgage the next 4 years of this franchise? I don't.
