Teams often bring in outside people to have fresh eyes on a problem. People removed from the situation and less invested in the status quo can often provide greater insight into the problems a team may be facing.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have gone with a different approach in retaining general manager Dave Caldwell but also bringing in executive vice president for football operations Tom Coughlin.
Coughlin brings fresh eyes to the problems plaguing the Jaguars but the team is still at least partially influenced by Caldwell’s investment in what he has built. This is most clearly reflected in the hiring of head coach Doug Marrone and the team’s commitment to 2014 first round draft pick, quarterback Blake Bortles.
