He absolutely sucks and it’s hard to imagine him doing well at anything in business. I’d feel more comfortable with random Joe Jags fan than this bum. The bar is set impossibly low. That is my greatest fear. The Jags get a great coach, a great GM, and great QB but in spite of that suck because of their owners incompetence.

Left to start his own business and eventually bought his old employer. Grew the company to the point they manufactured for the Big Three. Khan may be a dumbass when it comes to football, but he definitely knows business. Edited January 28, 2022 by biggie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jraider91 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I like it, Wilson was a brilliant brilliant player and seems to have done the requisite work moving up the tree at an org that has drafted pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like both of these hires and as long as they give these guys the resources that, they need allow them to build the rest of the staff the way they need to and so on I see no reason both of these guys cannot be extremely successful that, being Wilson and Leftwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggie. Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Aso, Leftwich is perfectly justified in giving Jville that ultimatum; he has all the leverage. No self-respecting person should put up with toxic bosses like Baalke. Edited January 28, 2022 by biggie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By what standard do either Wilson (Director of Player Personnel for the Cardinals) and Leftwich (OC for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) have little experience? This isn't Lane Kiffen getting a HC gig with the Raiders, this isn't John Lynch getting the 49ers GM job straight from his gig at Fox - both of these guys climbed the ladder and have a resume that says this is the next logical step for them. If not now... then when for these two guys? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to choose possible success than known failure. Granted, a tree stump would be a vast improvement over Toxic Trent, but I'd expect Jaguar fans to be intrigued, if not excited, here. Two years from now they could contend in the AFC-South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
