The Trifecta is Broken: Gene Smith to have final say!

Fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars can Rejoice today, the consensus based decision making of the front office is no more!
At the year-end Press Conference, Jack Del Rio confirmed that incoming Director of Player Personnel Gene Smith will have the final say in personnel decisions:
“Gene has the con,” Del Rio said. “Gene has the final say in personnel matters and I have the final say in coaching matters.”
As we discussed last week, the previous system of consensus based decision making has done nothing but produce poor outcomes. Giving Gene Smith "the con", as they say, means that there will be responsiblity and accountablity in player decisions. I can't express how happy this makes me. This is a significant break-point from previous Jaguar administrations and a sign that there will be differences in the Smith-Del Rio era that the Harris-Smith-Del Rio lacked.
As soon as I have the full transcript of the Del Rio year-ender, I'll have more in-depth analysis.

I read the same thing
Jack Del Rio speaks his mind sometimes and other times he is the voice of what he is told. When I read that I immediately thought of a meeting with Wayne Weaver and him pointing saying “You are the personnel guy” and “You are the coach”. “I don’t want to hear any arguement and I expect each of you to do your jobs”.

I feel better already
Anything is an improvement over what they had. He must have learned a little at least from Tom Coughlin about building from the lines out.

Gregg W and Joe D are both contractless as we speak

Yeah no one is fired (other than the strength and conditioning coaches)
but some people like Joe D and Gregg W in particular wont be brought back. I think both would be brought back if it wasn’t a money issue, especially Joe D.
