I think all this “win now mode” talk is garbage, personally. Nearly every team sees themselves in “win now mode” unless they have just begun a massive rebuild. 
Every GM that has some semblance of a roster put together is trying to complete it enough to “win now” in each and every offseason. 

I think this Jags situation comes down to the basic football philosophies of Coughlin and Marrone. 
They think they can win with Foles and a few other upgrades and it will buy them time to select and develop a young QB in this offseason or the next.

Seems rather simple to me. 

Add a QB that’s better than the last guy and mix in a couple of upgrades at o-line and TE. Then Let your very good defense give them 9 or 10 opportunities to win games by only needing to score 20-24 points. 

Sometime between now and the 2020 draft find your heir apparent young QB.

Per Shad
"I have the same trust in Tom, Dave and Doug as I did upon their introduction two years ago, and I do believe our best path forward for the moment is the one less disruptive and dramatic.  Stability should not be confused with satisfaction, however.  I am far from content with the status quo and while it’s best to put 2018 behind us, I will not overlook how poorly we accounted for ourselves following a 3-1 start.  There were far too many long Sundays over the last three quarters of the season, with today’s loss in Houston being the final example, and that cannot repeat itself in 2019.  That’s my message to our football people and players, but also our sponsors and fans, both of whom were remarkable."

I know it can be taken many ways but the talking heads on the radio seem to think that is a mandate to win this year or else and is why they seem to think its a win now mode.
