He may have an eye for talent, but that means nothing if you can't keep those players. Blame it on Coughlin all you want, but I'm convinced, it was 100% all on him. There were other factors at work as well.

I wouldn't presume to know why those players wanted out of Jacksonville so badly. I could wager a guess, but I wouldn't presume to know like you do. You seem eager to blame it on Caldwell, that's fine, you do what you want. Reality of the situation is that Caldwell is the least likely front office member to be any way responsible for Diva All-Stars to spiral out of control. The guy hardly even sees the players.

Obviously Caldwell stole your lunch money, I'm sorry man I'll bring an extra sandwich to school tomorrow. Thankfully the people who's opinions matter have decided to keep him on board for now. Hopefully he'll outlive Marrone's Tenure as well.

Based on what?

I've never once bashed Caldwell... I've always defended him on this board for his talent scouting skills. Hell, he drafted the true OROY and DROY last season. If the team wasn't essentially forced to see what they had in foles when he came back from injury Minshew wins OROY instead of Murray easily (he won ROTW 7 times in his 12 starts) and Allen had more sacks than Bosa playing half the snaps... 

The Allen snub was straight up robbery, but maybe was due to Allen having a rotational role vs full time. That's the only reason I can think of aside from just big market team bias.

If he hadn't of drafted Allen, he would've been run out of town. NOBODY thought Allen was gonna fall to us. He was the #1 player on my draft board and a top #3 player on almost every analysts board in the country. I would hardly give him credit for taking Allen. Allen was gifted to us and he just did the obvious.
