Quote:I'll admit I was in support of Bradley then, maybe in denial, I don't know. It became apparent very quickly this season that he wasn't going to make it. It's compounded by poor coordinator choices too. If he had better coordinators and coaches around him I think he'd look at least a little better. Either way, he's not doing a good enough job to warrant a 3rd year. He hasn't shown us signs that make me think "Yeah, he's figuring this out. Next year will be a turnaround." instead it's been the opposite.
It has been the opposite...as bad as it is to say, I think game preparedness and in game management has regressed noticeably this year from last year.
He'll never approach Harvey Johnson. Who went 2-23-1. For a total of 8%

Our Bird is overcooked and the Gus Juice is gone.

STOP DISRESPECTING PAUL! HE'S A GREAT LEADER AND HEAD COACH!
Quote:Don't worry, I got absoutely bashed when I cautioned folks on here after the Browns game. Look at us now lol. It's not too hard to see that Bradley is not cut out to be a championship caliber NFL HC and that's what we need.
So smart. Oh, I know! You should be head coach/gm. Maybe they'd let you import your roster from Madden.
Because if the only argument against Bradley is the record, you don't have an argument against Bradley.
It's a team game and the team has not been constructed. The ::team:: will be ready next year.
If the ::team:: is still failing next year, then it becomes Bradley's fault.
So, please, explain why he is such a bad coach. The players are developing. They are still playing hard despite the record. I don't know what else you expect. You can't make a salad with only croutons; they just don't have all the pieces yet. Don't have anyone decent playing linebacker. Don't have a free safety. Don't have a quarterback who is ready. Don't have a TE anyone is going to gameplan for. Don't have a #1 receiver or even a veteran receiver. I could go on.
Suffice to say, there is no quick fix. Swapping out the coach is not going to change the roster this year.
Harvey Johnson didn't coach in this new era of Parity that we have in the NFL.
Quote:Time for someone to bring up Bill Walsh.
And Bill Walsh was an offensive genius.
The game is switching to a more offensive oriented league. Look at Rex Ryan. He really only cares about the defense and he is about to fired.

I don't think it has regressed beacause it has been awful since game one.

Correct.
Rex made it to two AFC championship games due to his defensive coaching prowess, but this is the modern NFL, and defense is very difficult to win with.
The formula is find a coach that knows how to develop a QB and develop a QB.
I'm not seeing that on this team's coaching staff.
I think Bortles provides great clay to be molded, but I don't have confidence in this group to bring him along.

You cant win if you don't score points. Funny how that works.

The team looks unprepared for games. He is being outcoached by everyone not named Mike Pettine. He has shown to be awful at when to challenge plays. What exactly does he do well?
Unfortunately for Caldwell, Gus is tied into him I'm afraid. Unless Dave admits failure a at the coaching level they both could be gone unfortunately.

Apparently he gets along with Caldwell great. That seems to be the main reason for his hiring.

What has Bradley done well, to make you say this? What has this team shown you, in terms of coaching, that makes you think next year they will be ready?
It's been explained why he's a bad coach probably 100 times throughout this season. Not just on record, on a number of things that the coaches haven't done will with. If you choose to ignore them that's your own choice. There has been numerous well said and written arguments against Bradley, Fisch and others.
Bradley has shown me nothing, positively nothing to say he's going to turn this team around next year. It would take a darn miracle plus a deal with satan for this current staff to turn this team around.
Well Gus has stepped in and improved the Defense, unfortunately that is all that has happened. I just don't know anymore. Good for a defensive coordinator not so much for a Head Coach. It is like Del Rio 2.0
Quote:The team looks unprepared for games. He is being outcoached by everyone not named Mike Pettine. He has shown to be awful at when to challenge plays. What exactly does he do well?
Did Pettine really get outcoached or did they just have a really bad game?
Pettine is 7-4 in the best division in football. Browns were a coaching carousel until they found Mike and he looks like a good one.
Some people are simply saying to stick with Bradley because changing coaches now would take more time for our young guys. I hate this mentality, If Harbaugh becomes available or Coughlin... We need to go after these guys. Especially with Harbaugh. Blake would immediately do a 180.

I don't recall Del Rio's teams being embarrassed like this. There were plenty of times where Del Rio's teams beat really good teams, even on the road. He thrived as the underdog.
