Khan Fires Coughlin

However, if these choices were on Coughlin, I think Caldwell has done well enough to be given a second stint. He made some questionable choices with first round picks, but, by and large, he has given this team depth, even if he hasn't maintained it (and Coughlin could be the reason why).

I can't say the same for Doug Marrone, though. Even if Marrone is trying to keep together a disgruntled team due to Coughlin, there are enough questionable coaching choices that have frustrated me to no end. I don't know. Maybe Coughlin is micromanaging too much.

Pretty much exactly where I stand. Caldwell has done some good work, with some inexplicable decisions in free agency and retaining players. If there's an explanation that might well let him off the hook. Marrone, though, is damaged goods here now. Wish him the best in another Coughlin-free role and move on.

Others are saying the same thing.

If TC was already going to retire,  Khan should have waited or let him step down now.
If Khan leaves Marrone in place, I'm not sure fans will be back.

Ok Jeff, thanks for letting us know you are stupid and ignorant.

If Khan keep those 2 he is stupid, period.

Good riddance.

Listening to Boselli and Frangie speaking of the Jags is like listening to North Korean radio talk about Kim Jung Un --- we love our leader.

Yeah well. Those two are fairly close to Coughlin who, by all accounts is a great guy away from football. He was also a coach who got great results. The NFLPA thing though was a real whopper. Performance aside, that alone was enough for a firing.

I wouldn't be too pissed if Caldwell stayed but I think all three need to go to give this team the clean start they need. Caldwell has picked some bad some good and seems to have improved in some of the more recent drafts but I think we can do better. Hope SK sees it that way.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

When the team has been this bad for this long, you can't have any lingering holdovers. I don't think Caldwell is terrible at his job but he's gotta get the boot too.

"Caldwell should get a 2nd chance"
I dare you guys to go back and really dive into his drafts and FA choices. Not very good. Average at best with many of the players either not being here or not even in the league anymore.

Just OK is not OK.

Statement from Coughlin

“As head of football operations for the Jaguars the last three years I was responsible for all things football related to football. I take great pride in our accomplishments, especially in 2017. I’d like to thank Shad Khan for the opportunity to come back to Jacksonville, all the players and staff for their efforts, and the great fans here for their support. I was the first coach of this franchise and I will always be supportive of the Jaguars.”

All things football related to football?

I think the site you got that from had a typo. Here's the statement.

Ah thank you. It seemed a weird phrase to use. Makes sense now.

I love how his last line is, "I was the first coach of this franchise."

Thanks Coach. We definitely needed that reminder.

Still holding onto his glory days.

Great coach. Terrible GM/EVP.

Coughlin has fined that site for misquoting him.

He actually said, First, Greatest, and Most Successful Coach", but they snipped that part.

Yup.

Probably would've had Lamar Jacksonville too if it wasn't for him.

Our organization would have turned Lamar Jackson into Rg4 within weeks

Not that he is capable and not that we should retain him, but I would be interested to see how Marrone does as a head coach with the freedom of not having to answer to TC on literally everything
