Quote:I read several threads and posts bashing our Head Coach, and I understand why that has occured with only 2 wins this season.   The thing is I think he's a good coach with potential to be a fantastic head coach with record to prove it.  He needs time to acheive this goal, and he has great character traits.  He has integrity, guts to make the tough calls, knowledge, enthusaism, and he's a players coach.  The players work hard even to the last whistle when the team knows that they have no chance of making the playoffs.  That kind of drive and effort from young guys will pay off in the future.

If we are 2-10 next season I'll create a thread stating how blind I was, but I promise you it wont be needed as this team will at least be 8-8 next year.

 

What have you seen so far that makes you believe that next year the Jags will "be at least 8-8"?

 

From what I have seen I just don't see 8-8 next year, improvement, hopefully yes, but 8-8 improvement, just don't see that.

 

We don't really know how the next 4 games will turn out either.

 

Of course I hope I am wrong and you are right, but I try to be somewhat realistic.

 

I will say that if Gus does find a way to go at least 8-8 next year, he will be mentioned as a coach of the year candidate, that, I'm sure of.

 

He probably would not win it, but he would certainly get his name mentioned.
