[Herm]

Congrats TailbackU on buying your first NFL team.

Wonder, will they keep the Jaguars name and logo when they move?

Okay, so the previous owner rejected a LA based sales group. He still ended up selling the team so it's no longer in his hands. If Khan wants to make money on his investment (presumably he does), what is to stop him from moving them west down the road?

Essentially nothing. But for the foreseeable future the Jags will remain in Jacksonville.

The Los Angeles Jaguars in the AFC South is almost as bad as Boise State being in the Big East.

Weaver's confidence stems from assurances Khan has made to him personally and the fact that the Jaguars' lease to play at EverBank Field runs through the 2029 season. If the Jaguars wanted to leave before the end of the deal, the lease requires the team to prove they had lost money in three consecutive seasons or to convince a local judge that the city was failing to properly maintain the stadium.

To be fair, 3 seasons of losing money isn't hard to imagine.

Who knew Jacksonville's stadium was called EverBank Field? LOL at corporate sponsorship in stadium names.

Right. Just like Urban Meyer was retiring for the foreseeable future.

The minute Khan feels like enough time has passed where doesn't look like a complete dick, he's moving the team. Book it.

Well he has to put no effort into the team for 3 years and then he can move the team to Pakistan for all we care. With Khan being such a great businessman, I don't think he plans on making a negative profit in any of his years in Jacksonville. We will find out in the winter of 2014 what his real plans are I guess.

(Can't beleive im saying this)

they shoulda drafted Tebow. dude is from Jacksonville and played down the road at Florida. entire season would have been a tarpless sellout.

I can believe you are saying it. Either Miami or Jacksonville should have. Maybe not from a football perspective(although he looks decent right now), but from a marketing perspective and the fact that each franchise desperately needs a qb, they would be selling out games consistently only because of that guy.

probably could have but not in the first round...in the 2nd round, he was already taken. Once the owner since the empty stadium, he will start thinking about moving the team.

Rumor has it that the Rams will move to LA, and the Jags will move to STL.

Makes sense. Khan is a Rams season ticket holder from Illinois.

John Clayton says Mike Martz is an early candidate to replace Del Rio. Khan is a fan.

 

[JayDizzle]

So Gabbert's going from timid due to being gunshy/crappy O-Line to being openly marked-for-death by his own HC.

Can't wait. :thumbsdown:

If that happens I'm glad a Rams fan took over as the Jaguars owner. Mike Martz would make that team fun to watch.

IF LA was such a great town for the NFL they would not have lost 2 teams already. Moving to LA would not instantly make the team a winner, and people didnt show up for the rams when they were losing hence why they bolted to st louis.

LA was a shit city when those teams left.
