No, but he's pretty bad.

Quote:I don't believe he is the worst, but really close. I know this is preseason, but what a nightmare!!! It looked like a highschool team against a pro team. Something is missing - seems as though the player talent excuse is all washed up, where to look now? This sorry excuse for a team has gotten tired. The defense can't stop anything and still can't get off the field on 3rd down, even with all the new shiny pieces added. If this team doesn't win 10 Bradley has to go....

talking about having a racist flag on your profile and yet, you're not banned.

The team takes after its coach for sure.

Please tell me you're joking..

A racist flag? What?


I'm no southern apologist, but clearly you're not a history major.

I can update my ignore list from this thread, thanks

Yes.


No head coach in nfl history has started his career with a worse record. He could win 23 games in a row and still be under .500.

People said the same thing about JDR and his 3 yards and a cloud of dust, and said the same thing when Mularkey threw his clipboard.

Yes, he doesn't have adequate leadership to lead an NFL team to a SB championship.  He's a super nice guy who people like to be around because of his positivity.  Players love playing for him because there is a lack of standards, accountability, performance expectation, etc.  He pats everyone on the back and hopes for their best.  This is not leadership, this is cheerleading.

 

The Gus supporters here can say whatever they want but there is not one factual shred of evidence to support Gus being a good NFL head coach (he is historically bad actually).  The only recurring theme is that "players love playing for him."  Well, as Dr. Phil always asks, how's that working out for you?

 

With that said, I seriously hope I'm wrong and the Jags break out this year (which I doubt will happen) because if I'm right then the Jags will probably not make the playoffs until 2018 after Gus is fired and a new HC gets into their 2nd year (assuming they are the right hire).

Quote:Bradley has had a longer leash than any coach I've ever seen. Schottenheimer got fired after a 14-2 season, clown Bradley hasn't won that many games in 3 years.

 

Agreed...and the assumption made is that Khan must believe that Bradley is capable of winning a SB.  Otherwise, why else would you keep a coach around?  There's a reason that reasonably successful Head Coaches have been fired in the past.  The owners didn't believe that coach could win in the playoffs or the SB.

 

The requirement (in my opinion) for an NFL HC, is that, given the right talent, you are capable of coaching a team to a Super Bowl victory.  The expectation should not be anything less.

He really makes you miss Del Rio.

I don't know. How well can you really expect him to do with some of the garbage he's had to work with on D? When's the last time we had any decent edge rushers or safeties? Our corners haven't been too great either. Linebackers either. That being said there have been plenty of times where it's seemed as though the preparation isn't there. But really when you got scrubs going against real deal professionals it's gonna look like that most of the time no matter what. This season Caldwell hasn't given him a lot of help with the LG situation either. Or the pass rusher situation. I'm not saying people are wrong about Bradley, but I think it really is just too hard to tell based on the lack of talent he's had to deal with over the last few years. 

Quote:Mike Mularkey and Derek Dooley were the two worst head coaches I've seen at NFL and NCAA levels before watching Gus Bradley. This clown is AWFUL. He's positive again at halftime after HIS defense again gets torched. His defense sucks every year. That's his specialty.


He's an embarrassment and he's holding this team back. Hire Marrone now.

He is not the worst coach I have ever seen, but I think Marrone would be an upgrade.

Quote:He is not the worst coach I have ever seen, but I think Marrone would be an upgrade.

Why would Marrone be an upgrade? Not that im saying Bradley is better. I think he sucks too. But whats makes Marrone better in your opinion?

Hate to say it but jdr did a heck of alot better with way worse talent to work with for most part.  And I have to wonder if Collinsworth was hinting for Tom to do his last hurrah in Jax.

Quote:Hate to say it but jdr did a heck of alot better with way worse talent to work with for most part.

At this rate JDR is on his way into the pride. 

Quote:People said the same thing about JDR and his 3 yards and a cloud of dust, and said the same thing when Mularkey threw his clipboard.

Huh?! JDR was a .500 coach with a top 5 defense. Gus is a 28% winning coach with a 31st ranked defense. He's horrendous.

The man who created the flag had racism as his motivation. <a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.politicususa.com/2015/07/03/confederate-flag-designer-symbol-white-supremacy-southern-heritage.html'>http://www.politicususa.com/2015/07/03/confederate-flag-designer-symbol-white-supremacy-southern-heritage.html</a>

But not to be tedious in enumerating the numerous changes for the better, allow me to allude to one other though last, not least. The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson in his forecast, had anticipated this, as the “rock upon which the old Union would split.” He was right. What was conjecture with him, is now a realized fact. But whether he fully comprehended the great truth upon which that rock stood and stands, may be doubted. The prevailing ideas entertained by him and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old constitution, were that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally, and politically. It was an evil they knew not well how to deal with, but the general opinion of the men of that day was that, somehow or other in the order of Providence, the institution would be evanescent and pass away. This idea, though not incorporated in the constitution, was the prevailing idea at that time. The constitution, it is true, secured every essential guarantee to the institution while it should last, and hence no argument can be justly urged against the constitutional guarantees thus secured, because of the common sentiment of the day. Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. It was a sandy foundation, and the government built upon it fell when the “storm came and the wind blew.”


Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition.

It is in no way persuasive to suggest it is a way of honoring southern heritage and ancestors. Either your ancestors knew the repugnant principles upon which the Confederacy was founded, agreed with them, and betrayed this country to be racist, or they did not know the racist principles upon which the Confederacy was founded, and agreed to betray their country out of ignorance, while still advancing the aims of an oppressive, immoral and Anti American regime. Either way they are unworthy to be honored.



Despite the logical and factual contortionism engaged by confederate apologists, the fact is the rebel flag cannot be divorced from its racist principles it represents.

Yes.  He is etremely stupid.

Like always Bullseye, i'm thankful for your wisdom and intelligence you bring to this site and we're all better people after reading your posts. The flag is offensive to me and my heritage and if anyone think otherwise is out of touch with reality. I'm not a race baiter and the last thing i was to do is to bring up a divisive topic to this forum but that flag is a spit in our face to people of our ancestors who actually died while being mistreated during that era. I hope this site does the right thing and make him change his profile picture or delete his account altogether because we as the people Jacksonville don't represent this type of behavior in our city.
