He's right that you really don't know what Marrone/Caldwell have their sights on and who they have or haven't contacted. 
However - 
If they failed to attract a coach they contacted - it wouldn't be unusual given the possible lame duck year ahead for the Jags staff. 

So - if you want to be mad about something - be mad about Khan keeping Caldwell and Marrone for a potential lame duck year. The assistant coach limitations are a direct result. 

Personally - I was ready to see Caldwell and Marrone gone (and I've supported Caldwell more than most.) 
But I'm not tripping.  It's unfortunately gonna take two years to get this roster repaired enough to challenge for a division title anyway.  "Competitive" may be our ceiling in 2020. 

 Now - if Marrone leads a 2020 team that is near the top of the league in penalties again and can't field a defense capable of stopping the run - I'll be leading the charge to fire them both at the bye week.

You get me. I agree with you 100%. Because let's say he was offered our job and the Panthers job. Which is he more likely to take? I mean I am a Jags fan and I am taking the Panther job hands down. Easy decision imo.

Indeed.

Whoever takes our OC job is one of three things
An interior promotion (RB coach, WR coach, etc)
An OC recently fired that isn't getting any bites (Broncos OC, Giants OC, etc)
or a guy like Garrett who could see the position as a foot in the door to another HC job (Doug fired mid season, Garrett interim HC)

None of which are going to be sexy or provide any sort of mood boost to the fans.

The chances of getting staff members on board that would get the fans back on board went out the window when Khan decided to retain Doug and Dave.
2021 is the earliest we'll see any fresh faces...
The good news is... McDaniels, Bieniemy, and plenty others will still be available due to HC jobs and coach staffs pretty much being wrapped up elsewhere.
The bad news is... we'll have to possibly suffer through 2020 listening to half of the message board crying about someone needing to be fired every week
