Coughlin had to go; the situation was untenable.

Caldwell may be soon gone too, should 2020 be a losing record.

Ok sure. Fournette was Coughlin's pick, just like Minshew, Chark and Allen. Also Coughlin signed Calais, Bouye and Church. In other words 2017 was thanks to Coughlin. Also Caldwell doesn't have a winning season yet.

Caldwell has a winning season, 2017. If Coughlin gets credit, then so does Caldwell. Some picks bare clear trademarks of either or, but many can't be differentiated and were joint decisions. Caldwell has made his fair share of blunders with and without Coughlin.

However, when it came to reports of player dissatisfaction, trade demands, and the NFLPA letter debacle, that was traced back to Coughlin. It's no coincidence he was fired but not Caldwell once that letter came out.

I think someone, aka you, is a bit salty his gramps TC got fired. It is after all his second time being sent packing after poor decisions costing this franchise. 

Besides, you're always spewing negativity on this board when it comes to you being a supposed "fan", so maybe if another team hires him you can jump ship and go root for him there.

#1. You are speculating about the Fournette pick.  The truth is neither you, nor I, nor anyone else on this board who doesn't work in the Jags front office would know that with certainty.

#2.  I agree that Coughlin's methods were out of date and he needed to go.  But he was also around and received credit for the only decent season we have had here since JDR's 2007 squad.

#3.  Explain to me if you are a GM with ANY professional sports team for 8 seasons and your franchise has posted the WORST cumulative record in the League during that time how you still have a job.  Please.

What part of:

"Yes, despite my signature, I still doubt him. One playoff season in 8 years would send any other GM packing, even the Browns."

And

"Caldwell may be soon gone too, should 2020 be a losing record."

did you not comprehend? I am not fighting for Caldwell to stay. I am numb about it. If he has a bad record this year, regardless of Minshew's performance being good, he should be gone.
