Quote:I've certainly seen a GM and a HC's disagreement tear up a team before, even though the GM is the HC's boss.  I think the fact that Coughlin is a former head coach makes this possibility more likely, particularly when a disagreement over the draft, FA, and the current starters on the team can rear it's head.  Again it's way to early to tell, I am just acknowledging the possibility.

 

Longtime Jags fans know that Coughlin can get a bit "dictator-ish" and many of us have already expressed concerns about the degree to which he may (or may not) try to control all aspects. 

 

So - you're probably correct to have some concern. However - all indications at the moment seem to point to Marrone being of very similar philosophy to Coughlin and Caldwell being very respectful of his personnel input.  

 

We'll see what's up when the rubber starts hitting the road in the next two months as they make FA decisions and prepare to draft.
