re: Jaguars fire Doug Pederson per Schefter (Updated also GM Trent Baalke)

I don’t know if he knows either.

But the willingness to get rid of Baalke and then double down on Coen was big to me. They’ll now bring in someone that Coen wants to work with. There will finally be an actual vision going forward with the team and everyone will be on a similar page. Khan finally acting like a guy who has made billions of dollars. It could absolutely fail but at least they’re stepping out of their comfort zone that has failed many times.

I love that he didn’t take no for an answer in the guy he supposedly really wanting after realizing Baalke REALLY was a problem.

The media histrionics over this hire are insane. 99.99% of humans would have second thoughts over a job that wanted you so badly they’d triple (or somewhere around) your salary and restructure their organization in a manner that you saw as extremely beneficial.

I also don’t see why Tampa is getting such a pass over the “we will give you a raise but then you can’t interview in person for a HC job.” Thats bullshite. Put your best offer on the table and then wish your guy well in his potential promotional interview.

The histrionics coming from Tampa and their fans make me feel like the jaguars got potentially a really good coach.
