Quote:I agree about finding an elite head coach which is ultimately what you need to win a Super Bowl.  Unequivocally, Bradley is not that that (at least not now) and in my opinion will never be that. 

 

An elite head coach does not need to be an offensive or defensive genius but rather a leader of men, period.  While I understand the players love Gus (since he does praise them for being the worst team in the NFL), I do not think he has the leadership necessary to lead his coaching staff and the players.  A leader is to set a clear vision, equip their people to succeed and then hold people accountable (including himself).  I have not seen that anywhere close to an elite level with Bradley.

 

I believe that Khan/Caldwell need to find a true leader who will find the right coaching staff to develop and lead this team.  They also have to be willing to hold their staff accountable and make changes if warranted.  I think Caldwell deserves another year as it appears he may be figuring this whole GM gig out.

 

If they can find an elite head coach that will come here I'd completely understand firing Gus today.

 

The problem is if they don't bring in an elite headcoach then they'd only be retarding the development of the most important player on the roster, which is Bortles.

 

You can win Superbowls without an elite head coach, but if you don't have the elite headcoach you have to have an elite QB.

 

The real problem is the concern of whether it's possible to have an elite QB without the right coaching.

 

In any case the main concern of the team needs to be in the development of Bortles.

 

If I were the headcoach right now I wouldn't even be bothering with gameplanning or practices designed to win games. I'd be spending all of my practice and film time specifically on trying to continue developing the basics of quality NFL play in the young players currently on the team. Bortles, Lee, Bowanko, and Joeckel especially. If Bowanko pans out that would be huge.
