Quote:I'll say this much: I think if the ownership DOES have doubts about this staff's ability to get the job done, they should replace him now, rather than waiting a year or two and potentially stunting the growth of the young talent this team has. It doesn't seem easy, to me at least, to spend multiple years learning one system, and then blowing the thing up and trying to learn another one. For how crappy Gabbert was, the multiple staff changes every year couldn't have helped any.


I don't care what decision they make, whether they keep Gus or not. I do want them to be sure of themselves, their decisions, and the reasons why they made those decisions. I think and hope they will do just that.


This is a big offseason for both the ownership and the staff. I don't doubt for a minute that the Khan family is at least considering all their options. It's time to get this team to where it can start build some stability.

 

You have no idea. I have no idea. We weren't involved in the discussions with Khan, Bradley and Caldwell. For all we know Khan told Caldwell/Bradley that he's richer than god and he'll weather the storm no matter what it takes. Who knows how many years they talked about. We'll just have to wait and see.

 

Also - for Khan to dump Caldwell or Bradley, that reflects on Khan's ability to select the proper people (and I don't think for a minute that the Bradley hire didn't have to get the ok from Khan) and his ego may make it tough to act to quickly.

 

Also - doesn't Payton have 2 or 3 years left on his contract? I wonder if he would be released from that to coach the competition.
