The biggest problem is gone. 

I love Marrone and feel like he's been given a terrible hand, but it's best to clean house.

What's not to love about a guy who runs in fear off the field in the AFCCG with 55 seconds and 2 timeouts left from his own 25?

Clearly shows he can't coach at this level, you're right.

Not even close to 2013 rebuild.

Eh...

Dareus, Campbell, Bouye have HUGE cap figures that can easily be removed by releasing them. Linder has a large amount that easily can be removed.  Foles has at best 1 year left.  Norwell hasn't been worth his contract and will be cut-friendly after 2020.

That's 1/3 of your "starters".

There are question marks at LT, TE, RG, Lbs, safeties, and corner (s). 

The current GM was responsible for hiring the HC with worst W/l in Jags history, drafted Joeckel over Johnson, Bortles over Carr/Teddy, Yeldon over a stacked RB class (pick anyone really).

Why isn't this a rebuild again?

like Flux said, if we release our good players then sure, it will be a rebuild.

no reason to release Campbell, Bouye or Linder. Dareus can be restructured if they can agree to that.

building blocks are there. Taylor, Fournette, Chark, Allen, Ngakoue. Maybe guys like Minshew, Jack, Bryan. 
 

im not saying there aren’t holes on this team, there is but 2013, there was literally no building blocks.

as for Caldwell choosing Gus, nobody wanted to come here and coach this dumpster fire. I remember Dave said nobody called him about the job. He said he had to make a bunch of cold calls. That speaks volume.

address the trenches this off-season and this can be a quick turnaround.

Have you been within 200 miles of Sean McVay, cause ya might have a shot.

Knowing coughlin it will be hand cranked. 

I'm within 200 miles of Mcvay right now and would love the chance to make Jacksonville relevant for the first time.

Just because there are building blocks doesn't mean it doesn't need a rebuild.

This roster is old/aging and overpaid. How long can you ride with Campbell and Dareus (who didn't play all that well before his injury)? Linder is constantly in age management missing practice and hasn't had a good season and been plague with penalties.

No one wanted to come to Jax? Sure, maybe. But he still hired Gus after they fell in love, became best buds after what was it? A 15 hour interview session that turned into dinner?

Address the trenches? Because Caldwell's record there is great?

Luke Joeckel as a top 3 pick. Zane Beadles as a big money LG. AJ Cann at RG. Julius Thomas at TE (kinda sorta trench, but that's a marquee signing for him)

His best move was Linder and, at RT, is a journeyman who was paid big money as a starter and played solid.

On the defensive side, Fowler and Yann. 

This is like when Gus was deemed the sole reason for failure and was fired while everyone was brought back. Now TC is suddenly the scape goat.

Sure TC made a mess (again). But the state of this franchise was so bad (record wise) under Gus and Dave that many were surprised that Dave was even retained when TC was hired (and Doug was viewed as a hire because TC vouched for him...one of two names with TC's approval according to Khan himself).

Dave's only winning season is TC's first.

And now we're going to entrust this franchise again to these guys?

Where did I ever say I wanted to keep Caldwell?
