JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan hired a head coach with no NFL experience and gave him total control.
Khan also got more involved in the major football decisions, including the roster, and was part of building the team’s draft plan.
And he had the final say on whether the Jaguars were taking quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the first overall pick.
This isn’t the way Khan and the Jaguars have done business since he purchased the team in November 2011, but the NFL’s fourth-richest owner believed some drastic changes had to happen if his franchise was going to become a consistent winner.
