How does Gus Bradley keep his job?

Players will go to any city if the money's right and if the team is a winner. Jax has brought in plenty of high priced free agents over the years. But most of them have not panned out. And their drafts have been terrible for the most part the last 10 years. Green Bay is not exactly a hot spot of night life with lots of things to do and they're doing fine. It's not about the location, it's about the management of the team. For a big city, Jax is a pretty good one. They just need to get people in the organization who know how to produce a winner and once Tom Coughlin left, they've gone steadily downhill because of management, not the location.
My favorite was taking a punter in the 3rd round a few years ago, he's not even on the roster any longer..
 
The Titans, Saints, and Panthers are state teams. Plus region. Most of the entire state (and bordering state's support those franchise's) while Jax has two other teams in the state plus the Falcons on the bordering state.

I'm not agreeing that Jax is a bad city for the franchise...but saying the other areas you mentioned draw the entire state (plus border states) for the support and fanbase.

Well, yes, but Florida has a lot more population than those states.
