Gus should have been given a veteran OC, maybe even one with previous NFL head coaching experience. A Norv Turner or Kubiak type of candidate. I think it would have gone a long way. Gus is able to get the guys fired up to play, I have never seen a lack of effort, but this coaching staff seems to lack a certain degree of professionalism in its game planning and other areas. The lack of overall experience shows. Individually, I think there are a lot of quality coaches on this team, but not enough experience and leadership as an overall unit.

 

I don't know the answer, it may be too late to bring in an experienced OC at this point in Gus's tenure, but who knows.
