Quote:I dont know what else to say for you to understand Tom Coughlin is the Jaguars now. Its his team, hes going to mold it the way he wants and Caldwell will be right by his side. They like Caldwell or else he would of been fired. Coughlin is going to have have the final say and both the GM and coach will work with him, report to him and he will have the final say on the roster. Coughlin is already working with Marrone on the coaching staff changes. Caldwell got demoted, this isnt a golf buddy for Shad Khan to give Khan his opinion of what Caldwell is going to do. He was the one that retained Marrone, hes been the guy on Khans radar since Bradley was fired. Most of you should be aware of Tom Coughlin, he isnt going to settle for a consulting job. He wouldn't have taken this job if that were the case. Thats not like Tom Coughlin. Hes here because the team has been a disaster and Khan wants a different set of eyes making the decisions. I think they like Caldwell a lot, but they need results. I think Dave will learn a bit from Coughlin and in a few years, if the team is in better shape, Caldwell has full control again. They simply need a quick turn around and to start winning again. Khan probably thinks a Super Bowl caliber coach with tons of NFL experience is just the guy to get things turned around in a better direction. Im sure Caldwell and Coughlin will be working side by side in every offseason move, but Coughlin will have the final say. 

 

The local media, Shad Khan, the Jaguars Press release, it all is confirming Coughlin as the guy now with Caldwell and Marrone reporting to him. Im not sure what else to tell you to convince you. This isnt a bad move, this is a good thing. We need to start winning, we need better decision making. Caldwell is a very talented NFL executive, but hes obviously not had the smoothest 4 years so they have brought in experience to get the team turned around in a better direction. At the end of the day, the NFL is a results driven business and the Jaguars aren't getting results and have not since 2007. Maybe this move works out, maybe it doesnt. But yes, Tom Coughlin is your VP of Football Operations with everyone reporting to him. 

 

I look forward to the press conference tomorrow at 10am.
