12 years into his ownership of the Jaguars, Khan is excited about the direction his team is finally headed in.
"You win as an organization; you fail as an organization. So, I look at it as an organizational failure," said Jaguars owner Shad Khan."Not to be able to win two out of the last six games, it still stings even though the season is over.
I still can't believe it at all," said Khan."...Had this happened five years ago or 10 years ago, you would be patting yourself on the back. Now, it's like yes, you have a winning season, but we want to be in the playoffs every year." Khan notes that the end-of-season collapse can't be put on a single area but on the organization as a whole. "You win as an organization; you fail as an organization.

Now, with the rising tide of other young teams, specifically in the AFC South Division, Khan says it's always important to make your own roster decisions based on other teams in the division.

It's not my decision.""He , Josh Allen and some of these players, their DNA is woven into this thing. That's what you want," said Khan.

The coaching staff's mindset has to change. That's where we are going to get our future players." 12 years into his ownership of the Jaguars, Khan is excited about the direction his team is finally headed in. "We've had a decade to work on this... I'm grateful. I've had to be patient.
