It’s Caldwell always has been

I don't blame Caldwell for Bradley. First off, at the time the Jags were terrible with the future looking even more dismal. I doubt there were very many coaching prospects who had the Jags at the top of their wish list. Bradley was frequently mentioned as a prime candidate for a head coaching job, and when you hire a coach with no previous head coaching experience you are in a high risk (and hopefully high reward) situation. I suspect the Jags had to promise Bradley, or any other prime candidate at the time, a full four years. As much as I despised Bradley for delaying the rebuild, I can understand the Jags not reneging on the promise. Khan may have had some say on that too. And I'm pretty sure keeping Marrone was a Coughlin choice. Bortles was a mistake. Khalil Mack was a popular guess for the Jags pick at the time, but I saw him as a consolation prize after Clowney, since it's hard to judge just how well a small school player will translate. Of course Mack turned out to be much better than Clowney. The 2014 draft was a great draft for Caldwell in spite of Bortles. The Jags got three Pro Bowl level players in Robinson, Linder, and Telvin. I do agree with the opinion that Ballard is a better GM than Caldwell, although he lucked into not hiring McDaniels. But the clots limped along for years with worse GM and tacks GM isn't as good as Caldwell. Houston doesn't even have a GM and their personnel decisions have been laughable this year.
