So according to you Khan is pretty much like Jerry (with much less knowlegde about football)? bring the proof that Caldwell was against hiring Bradley (one thing is he liked someone better and another, much different thing, is that he was against hiring him). Bring the proof that he was told to tear down the roster Gene Smith left (which is completely BS and this guy just made up). Come on bring the proof, I'll wait.

Either way, if he was "forced" (lol) or those were his choices, it is pretty clear Caldwell is not the right person.

That's the whole issue the rest of us are talking about. WE DON'T KNOW. We don't know what power he had, who said for him to do this or that. We don't know what influence Khan had on any of the choices, we don't know what influence Coughlin had on any of the choices. It's all speculation. That's what makes this whole thing into a debate/discussion. You can claim anything you want about the guy, but unless you were in there to see and hear what was said and how things are done, you have no clue. Without the facts there will always be a couple different sides of opinions. 

He very well could be the route cause to all the issues we have seen the Jags experience since his time here or maybe he was directed to follow others opinions. I lean more towards the second part of that. If that wasn't the case, then why did Khan bring in Coughlin in the first place? Why didn't Kahn fire Caldwell and bring in a new GM at that time? I don't think its far fetched to assume either Kahn didn't like the choices Caldwell was making or possibly with him being a fairly new owner and not knowing much about football, he brought him in to make sure Caldwell was making the correct choices. 

If the later is correct and Coughlin did like we KNOW he did and did whatever the f he wanted (ex:fines) who's to say he didn't do the same with the team choices being made? If Kahn doesn't have that much faith in Caldwell, chances are hes siding with Coughlin.

And yes, everyone has the choice to their job, but that doesn't mean Caldwell doesn't like what he does. There's only 31 other positions and the chances of getting in one of them with a background history like the Jags have had, isn't going to be super high.
