I am just having a bit o fun.  Still seems to me you would feel more comfortabke just going bsck to where you are already familiar if the bridges were not burned in either direction.

Maybe you iust want to get out on the highway i dunno.  Smith is not a bad choice from what i can gather.

[font=Roboto, HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif]Rick Smith is an American football executive who was the Executive Vice President of Football Operations of the Houston Texans of the National Football League. From 2006 to 2017, he served as the Texans' General Manager. He became the team's Executive Vice President of Football Operations in 2012.

I'd be OK with Rick Smith. He drafted Watt and Hopkins. Nuff said. Texans always had a better than average roster but no QB. Having #2 pick to compete with Minshew and insert veteran retread (not named Glennon) should solve that riddle. 

The real debate is Fields vs. BYU QB. Discuss... Unless we're talking about Ryan Grigson, a blue-chip QB can cover over a lot of GM miscues. Manning kept Polian employed for many years after he lost his touch.

Problem with Gardner is that he does not have a go to WR. As really need to have a QB coach that can take him to the next level.

The problem with Gardner Minshew is that he is physically limited, panics in the pocket, and can't see the field.

This! He’s a good guy, but he’s lacking physical things needed at the position. Time for everyone to let him go. We have sucked so badly as the position, when we get something decent, we think that’s it. He’s not the guy.
Let's Get Em!!!! Go Jags!

Maybe Boselli was just being a homer, but I remember him also vigorously defending Luke Joeckel forever.  This is particularly disturbing considering you would expect offensive line, if anything, to be his area of expertise.  I can't believe he's a serious candidate, but I've heard commentators on the radio saying that they would support him or at least would be alright with him.  I think he would be just awful.

Wait, you're confused that a guy paid by the team to be a cheerleader actually cheered?

MMQB linked us to Urban Meyer this morning.

If I remember correctly, he flirted with both Dallas and Washington last year. Pretty much would guarantee that Fields is our guy.

Can't stand the guy, but if he gets hired by the Jags and takes them to the playoffs all will be forgiven. No doubt that the guy can coach.

Do you guys think a new GM would be hired before a decision is made on the coaching staff? Or if a coaching change is coming, would Shad hire his coach and GM together like he did with Coughlin/Marrone?

Normally, you hire a GM and they hire their own coaching staff. Who knows what we will do though. This team is anything, but normal.

This!   It’s almost like this team tries to be smarter than the rest of the league at times.  Hiring or retaining Before the GM is in place wouldn’t exactly shock me.

Why do we need another guy off the Pete Carroll vanilla defense tree? You might as well promote Wash or rehire Bradley. Saleh has had elite players at both stops. That doesn’t make him a good coordinator let alone head coaching material.

I was under the impression that the team losing the minority coach or executive was rewarded with the compensatory picks.

If they’re trying in encourage the hiring of minorities in those positions, it makes more sense to give the draft picks to the hiring team. I guess the idea is to reward teams who develop/promote minority coordinators and assistant GMs.

We can only hope Kahn distances himself from the process and hires someone who actually knows football to find the new GM.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.
