Quote:As time has progressed since his hiring, I've bought into the entire Gus thing.  There were bigger names we could have pursued, but I really believe that for this franchise, for this owner, and for this town, Gus is the absolute perfect fit. 

 

Now, he's going to have to do it on the field, but I'm confident that's going to happen. Gus is a good coach. If you watch him on the field, the energy level is barely containable.  He's a teacher and motivational speaker bundled into a coach's body.

 

Having attended a few events where he was featured, it was easy to get scooped up into that whirlwind of energy.  But, what truly sold me on Bradley was sitting beside him at a youth basketball game that his son and my nephew were playing in.  This is not an act.  Gus is genuinely a positive guy no matter what the situation, and that kind of constant vibe really does start to rub off on everyone around him. 

 

Seeing good press about his positivity is a sign that people are taking note.  They recognize that when you have a leader who maintains such an emphasis on team, and on having fun and getting better, eventually it's going to start to have an impact on the field.  I'm hopeful that what Gus has brought from his experience with Kiffin and Carroll will translate into great success here in Jacksonville.  If it doesn't happen, it won't be for a lack of trying.
