Scherff had excess baggage with injuries and has played exactly the way most folks thought he would. Harrison was a good selection.

It's the fact that they did nothing to add depth, push, challenge or cultivate a stronger overall group. It's laziness and wrecklessness and it's officially set the team back noticeably. Whether it's a bad imvestment or lack of investment.

The guy pulling the trigger on those players has bad aim. He needs to go.

This is not so much that he has bad aim. It's that he doesn't plan for contingency solutions. He never has, even in San Fran. If his plan A doesn't work out, he hasn't set things up to pivot easily and he will never "break glass" for an emergency pivot.

Doesn't matter that cause or reason for that, whether ego or other issues; but that is not a baseline characterization of a successful GM, manager, or boss in any field.

It is also not something he is going to magically learn at this stage in his career. This is probably his last job in the NFL.

Which also speaks to Kahn's issues. He has this philosophy of believing in people even if they make mistakes and thinking they can "grow out of them" or improve upon them. It is partly that he believed in stability in his prior company prior to buying the Jags. He has spoken about it before. The issue is that his last few hires, Marrone, Baalke, Meyer, and Pederson are all retreads. This stop was/is their LAST chance. In that situation, you cannot just bank on them improving or changing, especially if the problems appearing are identical or similar to the reasons they lost their prior jobs.
