Dave Caldwell was unofficially demoted when Tom Coughlin was hired.  Lets look at Dave Caldwells resume for the Jaguars:

 

-Hired in 2013 with a plan to "blow it all up."

 

-Released some veterans that should of been retained in said plan.

 

-2013 draft maybe the worst draft in Jaguar History. 

 

-Following drafts were just average.  For every hit like Allen Robinson he drafted 2 bust.  Fowler pending he may have missed on 3 top 5 picks in 4 years.

 

-Free agency was not much better.  Softserve Julius Thomas should be gone soon but to be frank there are no stars on the team despite being near the top in cap space the last few years

 

-He Hired Gus Bradley and even seemed to be  "all in" with giving him another year.

 

-Highly Responsible for the Jaguars record the last few years.

 

 

Aside from managing the cap space of a poor team I can't see why he was retained.
