Quote:Good heavens you are such a liar.

 

Remember last year when you was on here saying you were in favor of either Greg Roman, or Lovie Smith coming here?

 

When Tucker was interviewed because of the Rooney Rule, you said you were more in favor of Smith than him.

 

Thats not true at all. 

 

I never wanted Lovie Smith here. I may have said something to the effect of "I'd take Lovie Smith over a guy like Mike Mularkey", but Lovie Smith was NEVER a coach who I flat out wanted to be Jags head coach on its own. 

 

I never even warmed up to Greg Roman until after the 1st playoff game last year when his offense dropped 40 again on the Pack. Initially I was concerned that Roman was going to be "rubber stamped" through to Jags coach since he was close to Caldwell. I wanted Caldwell to do his due dilligence and give 2nd interviews before settling on any head coach. 

 

When offseason began last year, my top 5 coaching hopefuls for the Jags were this:

 

1. Andy Reid

2. Chip Kelly

3. Bill O brien

4. Brian Kelly

5. Mike McCoy

 

When they all were either snatched up or decided to stay in college, my next hopeful was Gus Bradley. But I was not happy that Gus was hired after only one interview because I wanted Roman and Armstrong to also receive interviews before any decision was made. The GM hire (Caldwell) was made after a 3rd interview and I wanted the same kind of due diligence done with the head coach hire.
