Quote:Gus can do no wrong to some of you guys, Some of y'all have such low expectations that you actually think its fine to be competing with a team with an overall crappy roster without luck and losing to Hasselbeck.

Quote:I've gotta disagree with this. I definitely think it could happen given the right circumstance. I'd rather not see it happen, because firing a coach midstream generally results in something worse(for the remainder of the season). But I could see it happening.It would have to be a catastrophic collapse for that to happen, and I don't see that being the case. Miami is a good example of that type of situation where they were expected to compete for the division title, and the team spent more money than any other in free agency to build toward that, and the end result was just awful.
On the flip side, I think there is too much blame to go around to lay it on one person. Everybody always thinks the next coach is better....until he isn't.
Quote:Caldwell didn't fire Fisch. Bradley did. He didn't fire him mid-season either.Ok.

That was easy to tell. Same with Bradley.
Quote:You didn't respond to the first point I made. Go figure.I figured I didn't need to since if u don't see ppl defending Gus no matter what. They are using an injury excuse like the Colts starting qb or tight end wasn't out. Theres some people seriously trying to say this isn't year 3 of the rebuild. I don't want to hear no injury excuse. These people had 3 years to build the roster and cap every year, maybe bring in more depth?!
Bingo.
Quote:I don't want to see Gus fired before the end of the season. I really don't.I agree with most of what you said, except it depends on our record after the London game. If we are 2-5, I'd honestly want to see a change after that giving Marrone the wheels till the end of season and see if any improvement occurs. But if we are 3-4 heading into the break I wouldn't want that. But 2-5 it should be pretty clear we don't got our future coach
To me, this team shows that it has the talent to compete for the division title THIS year. I'll admit that I didn't expect it right at the start of the season, but as you look at the lay of the land, our schedule eases up a bit, and the afcs teams are all beatable.
I think it is just hard fur any of us to really fathom Gus actually figuring out what it takes to really get this team over the hump. His track record proves his ineptitude. But, that still doesn't mean we should cut ties yet.
There's a slight chance things actually begin to coalesce for the jags beginning this Sunday.
This game is not a must win, it's a should win game.
Being 2-3 after 5 games puts us in a good spot. Being 1-4, and I think the drum beat gets louder for him to be fired.
Going winless the rest of the way into the bye, and its a certainty that he's canned during the bye week.
But, stranger things have happened. Win on Sunday. Stop the bleeding, and get a division win against the tacks, and I think we still have a shot at the division.
For me, I think Gus is probably already out the door. I don't think he's a good coach.
I HOPE I'm wrong and we wind up 7-9. Anything less than that, and he should be gone the first Monday after the season ends.

I'd love to eat crow and be proven wrong
Quote:Change just for the sake of it. Great strategy.Keeping the same when it clearly isn't working. Great strategy. ur telling me you'd be content with a 2-5 record going into London. Oh wait you'll just talk about the "improvements" even though the most important thing is winning.
Quote:i thought you were leavingWe could only hope...
Quote:Keeping the same when it clearly isn't working. Great strategy. ur telling me you'd be content with a 2-5 record going into London. Oh wait you'll just talk about the "improvements" even though the most important thing is winning.The coach who quit his job? Yeah, good idea.
And it would be "changing" to a coach that has more wins in ONE year then Gus has in 2.25
Quote:Both will be here next season. Book it.
