Pete Carroll had the insight to keep Bradley when he became coach of the Seahawks. I'm sure many fans wanted Bradley's head after his first season as defensive coordinator. The defense was terrible, yet Carroll let Bradley remain in a key position. Under Carroll's tutelage Bradley not only proved he was a good defensive coordinator but learned what it would take to become a successful head coach in the NFL. 

 

First you must establish what the franchise expects from there players if they are to become a Jaguar. Bradley set the standards and never strayed form his message! Player development by elevating your work ethic and play every day you step on the practice field. Never believe you have achieved your ceiling of development, there is always room for improvement. Work on the weak areas of your play, they will have to be improved if you are to become an elite player. To be a Jaguar player you must play fast and aggressive until the whistle blows. Nothing but 100% will be accepted on the playing or practice field! To insure these principles are adhered to, use competition to motivate and evaluate each player. This is the new standard that the franchise has established to become a Jaguar!
