Shad Khan’s been in the office more this offseason. And on Sunday, as the Jaguars’ owner landed back in the States, in his adopted hometown of Champaign, Ill., from London late Sunday afternoon, he was already looking forward to getting back there again.
It’s undeniably a better place than it’s been.
That’s despite hiring a general manager in Trent Baalke whom few in his team’s fan base wanted him to retain. It’s even with the tumult of 2021 still a not-very-distant memory. It’s even if it took nearly two months, following the firing of Urban Meyer, for Khan to find the right head coach to pair with Baalke.
