WE NEED HIM BACK: The Owner of Jacksonville Jaguars Shahid Khan announced to sell the team
Shad Khan, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, gave a straightforward response when asked what makes his reign as owner of the team different from the three previous regime changes.
“I did it right this time.”
Or so he, along with a great many others, thought when Urban Meyer was initially revealed to be heading to the NFL’s big leagues. Meyer had triumphed everywhere he went, and even though he was the target of controversy for the majority of his career, it didn’t matter because of the awards he could display on his mantle.
That proved to be the exact opposite of what took place in Jacksonville. After just 13 weeks of football, Meyer was fired as the team’s head coach due to an incredibly lengthy list of controversy that, even before Meyer’s tenure ended, would have cost many coaches their jobs.
There’s a lot to think about and contemplate as the team prepares to interview candidates for the position of head coach. According to reports, the Jaguars plan to ask to speak with at least six different coaches in the league, two of whom are free agents themselves.
Khan needs to take action right now. There has never been more pressure on him to get this right. After more than ten years as the team’s owner, it has all pretty much come to this; choosing the right coach, general manager, and course of action now will determine how he is perceived in the future.
the structures left behind by him.
Khan has owned the Jaguars for ten seasons, during which he has a 41-118 regular season record. This is his chance to start over, and he should seize it.
Meyer was unable to work.
Meyer’s possible downfall was evident from the start. Although many praised the astute and daring move, there was cause for skepticism and a rationale for the risk.
Though not quite as bad as the scandals in Jacksonville this season, Meyer’s time as a head coach at a college was clouded by controversy, and that controversy would follow him to the NFL.
Two hurried retirements and a ton of cover-up rumors and speculations caused a lot of There are a lot of conflicting feelings among Florida and Ohio State college football supporters.
There was also another problem at hand. Meyer was not regarded as a phenomenal talent developer or a QB whisperer. No, before he unavoidably hit the last iceberg, he was a great recruiter who, by all accounts, knew how to run a ship and steer it in the right direction.
When Meyer was coaching UF and OSU, he was referred to as a “dot the i’s and cross the t’s” coach; he wasn’t that with the Jaguars. He acknowledged that he could no longer be.
“I just reevaluated myself when there’s so much going on, and I didn’t micromanage everything the last half of my career at Ohio State because it’s also difficult to When you don’t sleep at night,… Additionally, Meyer stated on December 8 that “coaches are responsible for that; it is not my responsibility.”
“I hire a good team, work hard to coach the fundamentals, and let them do their jobs. I notice that I get in the way of their work a lot of the time.”
All things considered, the hire was a complete disaster, and Khan won’t have any leeway when the next regime changes.
However, this does not imply that Khan should be thrown out of town the next time something goes wrong, nor does it leave room for error due to his prior mistakes. The team is in dire need of assistance in order to avoid ruining Trevor, a quarterback who has the potential to be a generational talent.
