This IS the problem

Quote:that's cool...Bradley has shown ZERO improvement as a HC, let's give him another year.  I'm good with that.

I still disagree with you on ZERO improvement. Maybe if the ZERO wasn't in all caps. but considering I believe our Def has improved I will still disagree with the all caps.

Agreed that the defense has improved...but the fact that the rest of the team is absolutely horrible and the coaching staff in general stinks.  That's all on the HC.  He doesn't have it, plain and simple.

What improvement on the D? It's still a bottom 5 unit in the league?

Our defense improved because we signed veterans that already know how to play.

I give up. We are worse than Oakland. Bortles looks AWFUL.


SAT Example:


Gus Bradley is to football as Helen Keller is to football.


But seriously, we are awful. BB5 had regressed worse than Benjamin Button. Mariota anyone?

Quote:how long do you pay someone millions to figure out to be a head coach?  2 years? 3? 5?

Yeah. Actually 3 years is a pretty common number for a coaches tenure.  I think the average tenure is something like 2.8 years.  Read it somewhere last year i think.  Given a gutted roster and blank slate last year - then a rookie QB who flashed then fell apart the second year - I think the majority of NFL GMs would give him the third year to show something.  Sounds reasonable to me.

The defense has improved. They can only do so much when they get no help from the offense. See today.

If the average is 2.8, then he should get canned after this year. We have been historically bad.

We will need to do the same on multiple position groups...


"Developing" these young guys isn't gonna cut it.

Normally, sure. But teams are not normally this pathetic 27 games into a coaches tenure.

 

Sometimes you know you don't have the guy and cut bait.

 

What reason do we have to believe Bradley is the guy?

The defensive line has improved. And mostly because of the money they spent on Clemons, Bryant, Hood and Marks. The linebackers have been mostly terrible and the secondary is getting torched.

Exactly. They did that with Mularkey.

Offense cannot do anything, because they have no QB. Blake Bortles cannot lead this team. He's far too inconsistent, throwing the football[ which was a known problem when he was drafted]. Jags better fix the o-line and find some solid vet WR's.

Because those players were already "developed" - our coaching staff is unable to develop the rookies on the roster.  

 

All signs are pointing to bad coaching.  

If the 4 win season came after the 1 win season, id understand the "keep him around" sentiment a bit more.

Main problem is with Jedd. The defense has had its moments, while still being relativley young in the back 7. If the offense could sustain drives they wouldnt be on the field all the damn time. Forcing 3 turnovers in the first half and holding the Colts to only 6 points, 3 of which came when they got the ball in the redzone, should have sealed the game. Even a mediocre offense should be able to put up 20 points in that situation.

I like the direction the defense is aiming toward.   They have a hard time finishing games because the O can't keep them off the field long enough - and they lack quality starters at 3 or 4 positions. Those guys get exposed. 

 

That and the way the vet players seem to really buy in to Gus' philosophy are the only things that I see -  but we aren't around when it matters.  Caldwell has so, so , so much more to evaluate than we do. We aren't privy to the important stuff IMO. 

 

People here are just connecting the dots while they don't even see 70% of the dots. Myself included.

2.8 would be after 14 games next year, actually.

And that is why he is probably a pretty good defensive coordinator.

 

Why should we think he is ever going to be a good head coach?
