Quote:You got it all wrong.  The board see's it as

 

1. Make excuses no matter how bad a coach or player 2.

2. Always count on next year

3. Tank for X player

4. Ignore the fact the team has regressed in many ways

5. Wins don't matter

6. Give a pat on the back for a coaching staff with a 6-23 record

7. Even if the plan looks like a complete disaster let it play out regardless

8. Rinse/Repeat  #because Jaguars

 

I giggled. 

 

Point 6 you made needs to be addressed though. 

 

Some of the posters don't seem to comprehend just how bad, historically bad, a 6-23 record is. Its already amongst the worst winning pct of all time (with at least 20+ games). 

 

You'll be hard pressed to find many if any examples of a head coach with such a record or close ever turning it around and becoming a success in later years. 

 

If we keep Gus around for another year or 2, I cringe to think how bad that record will be and how much all by himself Gus will likely be thought of as the worst coach of all time. At least right now, he's close enough to other peers in the group that he has company. If we continue this for another year or two its just going to be yet another punch line that the Jaguars will have forever. (as no head coach would be breaking that record at that point.)
