A great team starts with the owner and the organization he puts together. I grew up in Kansas City when Lamar Hunt owned the Chiefs. I watched this club go from super bowl champion to losers and back again. I lived in Pittsburgh for 15 years. The Rooney family has always had ownership in this club. I also watched them go from unbeatable champions to also rans and back again. One thing they both had in common was a great organization/ownership partnership. Without this you will never EVER become a great team. I don’t care who coaches it, how many number one draft picks you have or how many pro bowlers play for you. Based on comments from multiple sources on the internet, the Jags do not have this and this has been proven by the exodus of players and the reluctance of talented players and coaches to come here. If you look at the history of teams like Cleveland or Detroit(there are many that share this problem), you will see weak organizations and well intentioned but owners ignorant of the game if football and how to build a championship team and keep it performing well. No offense to Mr. Khan, he is a brilliant businessman but completely lacks the knowledge and experience in organizing and running a strong NFL franchise. Until we the fans recognize and understand this, we will be doomed to wake up with Bill Murray in Punxsatawney and watch the same nightmare over and over and over. Time to wake up Jax. We deserve better. I do not want spend the rest of my years watching this train wreck.

Awesome, Grandpa!  So what's the plan of attack?

  
A fanbase wide cohesive effort to communicate with Mr. Khan that we cannot continue to support the Jaguars organization unless changes are made now. In all successful organizations, change starts at the top. If he is committed to building a championship organization, he must start with himself. He must rely of better qualified people to advise him. Start with a search for a seasoned and respected General Manager/President with solid NFL credentials who reports directly and only to Mr. Khan. This is the most critical role outside of ownership. The interplay between the owner and this position is critical to the future of the Jags. When head coaching prospects publicly state that they have no interest in working for the Jags, you have a BIG problem. In 2017 we had a Superbowl team without a Superbowl organization.

There are plenty of NFL teams on the rise that have overcome a losing tradition including the Cleveland Browns, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cincinnati Bengals and others. It can be done. There are also teams that have not been able to overcome their losing ways like the Jaguars, Lions, and others. Plenty to learn from here as well.

The next critical step is to hire a seasoned NFL not NCAA head coach. And we do not need an unknown who may or may not be able to move u from assistant or Offensive or Defensive coordinator. The GM will play a key role here. Jags need to overhaul their player personnel group. They have been dismal in selecting talent. Many top ranked DO NOT rely on the draft. They have a first-rate talent organization that has found gold where others have not. Steelers fans out there can name the outstanding players that no one ever hear of like Big Ben Roethlisberger.

Bottom line of all this is, by supporting an inept organization that has failed to deliver the quality product that has been promised us year after year is the definition of insanity. Mr. Khan did not make his billions by delivering subpar products to the automotive market. He understands this.

If you love good football, it is time to demand it. We have been paying for it all this time. We have a great fan base. Stand up and speak out!!
