Fans feel like Khan’s 2019 season-ending statement contradicts his 2018 season-ending statement

Monday marked the one-year mark of Khan’s last season-ending statements. From that day, a phrase he used “far too many long Sundays” took off, and here fans are again in 2019 enduring much of the same. 

Another key part of 2018’s statement that fans have criticized is where Khan stated that he wouldn’t confuse stability with satisfaction and wouldn’t overlook the Jags’ poor play after a 3-1 start.

“Stability should not be confused with satisfaction, however,” Khan said. “I am far from content with the status quo and while it’s best to put 2018 behind us, I will not overlook how poorly we accounted for ourselves following a 3-1 start.”

Well, the Jags once again clawed themselves into playoff contention (4-4) in late October, then crumbled by losing six of the eight following games, yet, Caldwell and Marrone are back.

Additionally, most fans feel as though Khan has proven himself in terms of the stability department when looking at the tenures of Marrone and Caldwell. However, by keeping both he’s causing another issue — and that’s the lack of accountability.
