Quote: Agree, but the youth is evident on this team and experience will help them immensely. I'm talking experience in both the Jags systems and the system of the NFL. I believe Gus has this team ready to break out and once the experience catches up to the talent They will be a force.
We're three seasons in and Gus hasn't gained enough experience to teach him how to properly use his freaking timeouts, among many other coaching shortcomings. If it were solely a "young talent" thing, I'd see the merit in your argument, but it's not. It's that we have a coach who benches his better players almost at random while letting those who show zero ability continue to play, who has a defense that still gets caught with twelve men on the field, who can't protect a lead, who routinely fails to put the right players on the field at the right time, who doesn't override awful play calls from his offensive coordinator, who continues to protect useless coaches like Mallory and Babich instead of holding them [A-word deleted] for three years of crap performance, and the list goes on. The team will get better as they mature, yeah, but Bradley's had two and a half years to figure out how to be a marginally-effective NFL head coach, and he hasn't done so. It's beyond time to move on to someone who can maximize that talent as it reaches its prime.

I couldn't have said it any better.
You're wasting your time tho.
You know this reminds me of when everyone said "Keep Mularkey" and "Keep Gene."
If we get rid of Mularkey then our team won't have continuity!

Hey, you never know. Shad may come on here to gain insight and knowledge.

Gus is 9-31 since Mularkey. Maybe this is proof of that?
Quote:As awful as the offensive line has been, I don't quite see why anyone would advocate keeping Marrone at this point. The individual pieces, aside from Beadles, aren't terrible, but together they have Blake running for his life at least a couple of times per drive.
Half the sacks on Sunday were on blitzes and Yeldon had a terrible game in blitz pick up. Sometimes the pressure given up isn't always on the line. Having said that, the line collectively didn't have a great game.

Coughlin was run out of town. Del rio too. Mularkey. Every time we counted on getting an upgrade.

Repeated failure is not a reason to stop trying.
Quote:Once the players that are on the field you speak of quit making bonehead mistakes that have zero to do with coaching and more with their own mental errors the product will be much better.
The Marshall muffed punt was directly related to coaching and it was a huge momentum killer.

Proof of what? That both Mularkey and Gus can't coach?
Quote:Coughlin was run out of town. Del rio too. Mularkey. Every time we counted on getting an upgrade.
Yes let's stick with a terrible coach because we're afraid we might get another bad one.
That's not how the process works.
Quote:Gus is 9-31 since Mularkey. Maybe this is proof of that?
It's proof of little outside of both Gus and Mularkey weren't good enough.

Coughlin had three straight losing seasons and was the GM. How many coaches can survive that?
The Jags are relying too heavily on 1st and 2nd year players. Still a lot of growing pains.

Did a coach go on the field in his uniform? Otherwise it was not a coaching failure imo. The player who collects a paycheck to catch the ball failed that particular time.

It is a direct reflection of the incompetence this staff has shown for 2.5 seasons. Nick Marshall should have NEVER been on the field in that situation to field that punt. There is no excuse for that.

Tbh, if TMD is recommending the guy then we might want to stay away. Everything TMD rec's ends up flaming out in spectacular fashion.

I would be willing to bet you came to that conclusion in hindsight. If he would have caught it and broke a big return? Then what, still bad coaching?
Gus will be coaching in the Arena leagues in two years. They don't play defense in that league so nobody would notice how bad Gus' ice cream zone defense is performing.

Gus was a very good defensive coordinator, and like Dick LeBeau, Wade Phillips, Chuck Pagano and Steve Spagnuolo, that would seem to be his ceiling.
