Quote:Let's try to stick to the comparison you made.  You brought the 2002 squad into the conversation as a direct comparison with this year's roster.  Your assertion was that the disparity in results was due entirely to coaching.  Sorry, but that's simply not true.  The rosters are nowhere close in talent level, as I pointed out.  Like it or not, players are a much bigger part of the equation than coaches.

 

I brought the 2002 example here to illustrate that good coaching can at least keep a less than stellar roster competitive. 

 

Gus has not shown an ability to take what he has and make them better. IMO, thats the mark of a good coach. 

 

Even if the 2002 roster was more talented than the current one, that doesn't disprove the main point that I am asserting here. 

 

 

Put Bradley on that 2002 team, and I'd bet he does nowhere near as good a coaching job as Tom Coughlin did. Conversely, put Coughlin in charge of our team beginning last year and I don't think in year 2 were are still sitting here at 0-5 and the 31st ranked defense and 32nd ranked offense.
