[Mr. K]

Shad Kahn is not pleased.

Looks like Khan wants to be another Jerry Jones. Statement released says Marrone & GM will report directly to Khan.

That’s the way it is with Pegula, McD and BB 

[Blank Stare]

I remember the media gushing over the Tom Coughlin and Marrone hires a few years ago. Said they had it all figured out. Top front office and coaching situation in the league. For a fleeting moment, it looked like they may have something thanks to an ability to buy a defense with a boatload of cap space. Saps.

got some first rounders which is nice but they need a qb

[Rc2catch]

Long time coming. They’re a mess. Marrone lost the team. They had one run with that defense and everything fell apart. That epic failure so many have had chasing their tail every year trying to get a decent quarterback

I still like him for what he and the Giants did to NE in the Super Bowl twice.

I don’t see any advantage to doing this before the season is over. I mean, why now? 

They fired him early. They fired him on Coughlin Time. 

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

How long is Dougs contract? If he has anything owed to him I'll vomit.

[billsfan_34]

Yolo on this like white on rice ?

[KD in CA]

I've always been a Coughlin fan, but it's time for the Jags to clean house and start over. 

 

Plus that 25% of all grievances thing is hard to get past.

[Augie]

I hope Coughlin’s Realtor in London doesn’t take this too hard.

 

 

Seriously, that seems to be a horrible idea. No one team should have that kind of competitive disadvantage. Just being in their division would suck!  Mexico City would be easier, or some place in Canada that is NOT Toronto.

Is that like Rick Pitino in an Italian Restaurant Time?

Augie I think the line would have wrapped around the door.

 

That said I like seeing talented teams in the AFC with bad coaches.

 

Keep Freddie in Cleveland, St. Doug in Jacksonville, Gase in NY, Billy O in Houston etc.

Long may they reign.

CBS saying entire coaching staff is next.

Coaches contracts are fully guaranteed.

[Saxum]

I wonder if VPs have guaranteed contracts like coaches?

[HOUSE]

I am sure sorry ol Dougie left town without saying goodbye

[John in Jax]

Maybe Khan ought to fire himself? Lol After all, who authorized the millions and millions to get Foles?

I’m guessing the fans are next! Both of them.

ETA: Coughlin should have enough millions banked to not have any worries about anything going forward.

I dont see it that way.  It's going from AFC Championship game to top 10 the next 2 years.  Without massive injuries and a similar roster.  They traded away their best player because of internal issues.  I would argue that Jacksonville is a bigger disappointment than Cleveland. 

 

In terms of reporting directly to Khan. Basically, on a daily basis are either guys worth keeping.  It states for an interim basis til the end of the season.

They’ve left before: recall when they used to tarp sections of the upper deck. Those are NOT Bills-like fans!!!! ?
