<p style="font-size:26px;">This feels like doubling down on the Bortles/Caldwell era. And if that doesn’t work, Coughlin calls the shots next time

But again, why?  If we all know that this is a lame duck season that is up coming, why the heck go through with it?

 

Mike Smith, a HC that was not just a mediocre HC, but one that was winning his division is out there to be hired on.  Instead, you keep a hanger on from the old regime that has a mediocre stint in Buffalo???  I mean, really?

 

Instead, we're gonna kill yet another season to verify that the remnants of Gus Bradley's garbage coaching staff was also bad?  And then what?  Hope that a 71 year old Coughlin (who will be yet another year out of coaching and another year older) will take over?  Or see if there is another quality HC that got fired?  Or gamble on an up and coming OC or DC?

 

We had Mike Smith right there.  And the dude was a former DC here in Jacksonville as well...  

 

It's just really bad planning.

 

I wonder if Tony Khan and his daddy saw that .gif of Mike Smith picking his nose and decided they didn't want him here because of all the jokes that would be made about it.  That's how much of a head scratcher this hire is.

 

The guy could have been given a tryout after week two, or after the thursday night Tack beat down if they wanted to really give him a shot.  This hire just seems so lazy.  So un-inspired.  So mediocre.  Just plugging holes in the damn,  Not fixing anything.  

 

It's a bad look for the owner and the front office as a whole.
