Quote:The Jaguars have been the model of over-correction in its history:

 

TC was a disciplinarian, so we went with Jack who was more a player's coach.

 

TC had a lot of control, so we went with a three-headed monster of Shack, Jack, and contract guy.

 

Jack fired (rumblings of him not doing work towards the end of his tenure, clocking in late, leaving early)....and we go with a details oriented HC in Mularkey. We also went with a single GM approach away from the 3H monster.

 

When Mike and Gene failed, both incredibly dry personality guys...

 

We went with Gus "Do your job!" and Dave "even if he's released"...

 

Mike/Gene had a veteran coaching staff that some felt was "too many chefs in the kitchen"

 

So Gus/Dave went with a young staff...

 

And now we're back to a disciplinarian in Tom/Doug, a more veteran staff, veteran players instead of all young guys.

 

The cycle never ends...

 

If Dave had a leadership style that worked and was followed down the line, there would have been no need for Coughlin to impose his style.

 

Tight or loose, either can work.

 

But not without a roadmap or recipe book.  We seemed to have good ingredients, but not necessarily ones that were good together or put together the proper way.
