Remove your personal feelings about the specific parties involved and pretend you own a business and have a high level position open.  You’ve interviewed several candidates and the top one has never done the job before but is telling you to fire someone in your building he doesn’t care for as a condition of his employment.  I think in most cases you’d tell that candidate to piss off.  NFL is different than most businesses, but the way you’d feel about that scenario probably doesn’t change regardless of the industry.

To add, Khan has to think that the situation here is good with having a franchise QB already on the roster, extra draft picks and plenty of cap space.  Why would you concede anything in negotiation to a first time head coach in such a situation?

I think it's a slightly different scenario; imagine you're a business owner, and are interviewing top candidates in the field for a job opening. However, they all express reservations for working for a current executive, as they all have worked with him or worked with mutual contacts in the past at other companies, and discovered he enables a toxic work environment. You can not attract top talent any longer, and your interview(s) are drying up. At some point you recognize that you either settle for someone not qualified or that maybe, just maybe, you have a toxic guy on your staff.

He needs this shot ... and so do the Jags!

Ok Baalke. Go back to sabotaging the negotiations. Posting here won't help you.

Bro, I would take Caldwell at this point. At least he had some draft gems and stability in the franchise front office.

They all?  I think the league wide hatred for Baalke is probably over estimated.  He might be distrusted and disliked by some, maybe even many, but there are only 32 such jobs and way more candidates than that.  Also, I've found in my experience that true professional people make their own judgements on individuals versus what they hear about them ahead of time.
