Whoa!

Looks like Byron Leftwich made a power move in Jax.

<<A league source tells PFT that Leftwich basically gave the Jaguars an ultimatum: It’s me or Trent. It’s a stunning move, but it underscores the concerns many had about owner Shad Khan’s decision to keep Baalke around. As one league source explains it to PFT, multiple candidates refused to even interview for the Jacksonville job if Baalke was going to remain in place as the General Manager.>>

I'm not invested in Jax at all but I'm happy to see Baalke get fired because he seems like a piece of shit.

Me neither and I've never paid him any attention, but all that I'm reading about him says the same thing you point out.

And people wonder why Harbaugh got out of San Francisco and want to blame him for it.

Someone probably gave Leftwich some very good advice. Well done Byron.

I would expect the Byron Leftwich announcement to be forthcoming.
