Saban can override anyone he wants.  He could not at Miami. He didn't have that kind of control there[b].

You continually toss this out as an insult to anyone who disagrees with your opinion.  You make counter-factual declarations as if they are fact.  People can love and follow the Jags without passing your bizarre and toxic litmus tests.  They can like Urban Meyer, Tim Tebow, Travis Etienne, and anyone else they have a connection to and still have at least as much football knowledge as you.  Get over yourself.  Let others enjoy and express their opinions just like you strongly express yours.  They are fans of the team you claim to be a fan of.

And if all of this is just too upsetting, take a break, man.  It will resolve itself by the end of August.  I predict we will enjoy the best Jaguars football this year we have seen in a long time.  And all of these near stroke moments will have been for nothing.

We need to act like it... and this Urban Meyer good ole boys club destroys any chance we have at it.

Kudos to Khan for making us look like the backwater we apparently want to be.

Why?  Why would you want to emulate the mega-cities?  Jax can be big on its own terms with its own culture, personality, and vibe.

Here's a clue:  an NFL team will not hold a city back from growth and prosperity.

So...

My fears are true.

The sycophantic college fans do want us to remain a small town nothing. Great.

I want to be wrong with my pessimism. I really do.. but every single time it's proven correct.

And yes Saban could.. multiple news outlets said as much. He had full control over everything - including overruling their concern on Daunte Culpeppers knee. HE thought Brees was done but still to this day blames the same doctors who recommended not signing Daunte. It's laughable.
