Devil's Advocate: Why Firing Bradley May not be the best thing

Quote:Gus likely still has 2 or 3 more losses coming to him this season.

 

He's already way out ahead of those guys from a losses perspective and it's going to get worse.
19 vs. 22? That's a difference of an extra 1.5 losses per season. 19 vs. 25 that's an extra 3 per season. There's a couple games this season that I can't put the blame on Gus for the loss (a blocked kick, for example), but that's a side issue. If multiple coaches can turn it around from just under 20 losses, it's not impossible, statistically or otherwise, to turn it around from 25.

 

Quote:History isn't against him?  I'm not saying it's absolutely impossible but of all currently employed NFL Head Coaches he would have to make the most drastic improvement following the worst 2 year start of anyone.

 

In other words, he has the asbolute worst odds of succeeding...
 

I don't disagree with that (worst odds), but 3 of the worst 5 have won the Super Bowl. The only one of the top/worst 9 or 10 who would be an absolutely non-hire would be Ron Rivera. So the number of losses in the first two years does not really accurately predict head coaching failure.

 

I don't think Khan will fire Bradley anytime soon and I don't think anyone will force Bradley to fire any of his staff. I do think if the team doesn't win at least 7 games next year, Khan or Caldwell will probably fire Bradley and his staff.


“It just shows what kind of team we are. We’re a tough team. We like contact. We’re very physical. We want the issue to be brought to us so we can show people we can stand up to it and overcome it. Seeing that’s just a symbol of our team and who we are.” - Jaguars DT Malik Jackson
