He wanted him once already and was blocked, things could change post baalke.

Again

Davis will never be a niner employee again, just stop with your false narratives

A lot of people here bought into it too. "Why aren't we being aggressive on free agency like the Jaguars?"

Yet another example of why throwing gobs of money around for free agents is rarely a good idea.

but if he can turn us into a top 15 defense, he basically gets another HC chance.

That is literally the sales pitch of every team he will speak with. Simply, there are better options for him to get repair his image.

Probably not relevant, but seems like Baalke and Bradley were a year apart as graduate assistants at North Dakota State.

Yeah, that's a terrible record but to be fair, it isn't easy to win games in the NFL with a boozehound at the quarterback position.

So basically Mike Nolan did better. I think it's highly unlikely the Jags win those final two games. Gives great perspective of just how bad a shape that team is in. I'd also pass on hiring him as a DC. Not only can we do better, but I also think that a DC looking for a head coaching job can use the 49ers as a springboard. Chip Kelly is not running the fast paced offense that he ran in Philadelphia. The defense stays on the field because they are terrible and the offense can't consistently move the ball.

Bradley rode the coattails of Carroll and the LOB to that HC gig. He had 4 years to turn around the Jag defense and did jack.

I don't think it was b/c of FA's. I think most thought Bortles was taking the next step. He put up some big numbers with Robinson and Hurns. Just like ppl were saying the Raiders were going to take the next step b/c of Carr. I think Carr took the next step and Bortles took a step backwards. Besides Malik Jackson I don't recall them getting many big names in free agency last year.

Go check out the official Jaguars board. Bortles' alcoholism is an open secret amongst the Jaguars fanbase.
