Quote:if it didn't happen at 0-8, when will it ever happen?

 

It was year 1. Everything was still fresh and new, so even at 0-8 what I am talking about wouldn't have happened yet. As years go by thats when a coach's message starts to get stale....and when winning is not happening at that point, the bottom can fall out quickly. If Bradley was a more dynamic coach and a X's & o's master like Belichick, he'd have that to fall back on, but it doesn't appear like Bradley is anything beyond a good people person. Combine this with the fact that Bradley's assistant staff - particularly the Coordinators, are weak hires, and this could get ugly in years 2 or 3.
