This was the only fan base that wanted Leftwich as their coach.

I can't imagine why in the world a fanbase who knows him well as an early draft pick and QB - that was saddled with urban meyer and hasn't had a winning record in 5 years  - might have some intrigue in a young up-and-coming coach who was hyped by every major media outlet.  Weird, huh?

LOL

Fans gravitate to the familiar. Who cares? 
No one knows if Leftwich is going to be a good HC one day or not, but it's not strange in any way that Jags fans jumped on board with that kind of change around here. 

I entertained the notion even though I liked Pederson and Jim Caldwell better. Could have been really exciting if he was worthy of the hype. 

Thankfully, it all worked itself out organically. The right way. 

I guess you aren't going to try quoting Bruce Arians as gospel on this one, huh? 

You don't think he's ready to be a HC now, and in November you didn't think Trevor was fit to lead a pass-first offense "right now" either. We know how that one worked out.

No need to scrutinize fans for being fans - and for looking under every rock for a way to improve a franchise stuck in the basement.

Can you post where I scrutinized the fan base while you're making [BLEEP] up?  Lol. You don't scrutinize the fan base !  You just said exactly what I said when the fan base wanted him, fans gravitate towards the familiar, he was a ex Jags so they liked the idea.  Some said Byron or bust.   

On the Trevor part, he wasn't ready to lead a pass heavy offense the first half of the season and a huge reason why we only had 2 wins in the first 8 games.  We would have a higher seed right now if we ran in a lot of situations early on when we should have.   Now he is ready!   I don't feel like going to find all your post claiming we should have ran more earlier in the season in a number of games.  That genius 4th and 1 run Sat. is a play Doug would of passed earlier in the season, he was still figuring this team out early on as was Trevor learning Dougs system. Like the post said, if we were a run first team until Trevor figured it out we would have at least 3 more wins right now. Dougs pay calling gave a few games away earlier in the year. He was still figuring his team out and the players were still learning the system
