Jacksonville Jaguars: talented, but need a disciplinarian head coach
Unless rival Indianapolis makes a head coaching change, the Jacksonville Jaguars might be the best available head coaching job in the NFL. Seriously. In his brief time as an NFL owner, Shahid Khan has shown tremendous patience to see a plan through.
He inherited essentially an expansion team when former owner Wayne Weaver gutted the organization with the hopes of selling it. Khan gave former head coach Gus Bradley almost four years on the job and general manager David Caldwell will get a fifth year after drafting well in recent years.
Looking at the Jaguars’ 2016 roster, this should be better than a 2-12 team. Yes, quarterback Blake Bortles has regressed in year three, but he’s one quarterback guru away from getting his mechanics back on track. Bortles is in his own head, but he can get back to good with the right offensive-minded head coach.
Jacksonville’s next head coach needs to be able to get the best out of Bortles. He also needs to be a disciplinarian. Maybe Jacksonville missed the boat on Adam Gase by riding it out with 14-win Bradley for another year? However, Khan has implemented a culture of stability. All Jacksonville needs is the right head coach to see this talented but underperforming team skyrocket all the way to the Super Bowl.
