  • Episode 106: Baalke In, Patience Out. - Shad Khan Commits to Mediocrity
    Jan 9 2025

    Is it time for the Jaguars to shake things up at the top? On this episode of the Touchdown Jaguars podcast, we return from our break to dissect the highs and lows of a tumultuous season for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Phil Smith and James Johnson are here to break down the final game against the Indianapolis Colts, spotlighting standout rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and the defense's struggle against Jonathan Taylor. The cornerback concerns with Tyson Campbell and Monteric Brown are on the table, as well as the strategic alterations needed for future divisional matchups.

    Reflecting on a 4-13 season marred by narrow defeats, we ponder the alternate reality of a winning record and discuss why the team opted against a total reset. Leadership decisions come under scrutiny, with Shad Khan's choice to part ways with head coach Doug Pederson while retaining GM Trent Baalke stirring controversy and fan frustration.

    The coaching carousel is spinning, and the Jaguars are in the thick of it. We examine the challenges of the current coaching search, from the impact of management controversies to the allure of seasoned coaches like Pete Carroll and Mike Vrabel. We speculate on high-profile names like Mike Tomlin and how they could reshape the franchise's future. Join us as we unpack these complex dynamics, evaluate leadership potentials, and consider what's next for the Jaguars and their devoted fan base.
