Quote:The only part on this topic where there is disagreement between us is at this point, based upon the lack of experienced/developed talent on the roster, I am not yet prepared to say that Bradley lacks the necessities to be a successful head coach at the NFL level, because the lack of talent affects the perceptions of his game management abilities, preparation, etc.  You have already concluded that he lacks those abilities.  Ultimately you may well be dead on point on this topic. 

 

But, like you, I desperately want him to succeed here.

 

Like you, I also like how the roster is being built.  I am ready to see these rookies at this point next year.

 

Which is what all of this always comes down to.

 

Some people appraise Bradley as a failure already because it's quite clear he's not a guy who gets something more out of players. If he were then the quality of the roster wouldn't have such a dramatic impact.

 

Then some people believe that it's always players and that coaching essentially can never make the players on the roster better.

 

It's hard to say which is right. Either coaching doesn't matter for the most part and keeping Bradley is fine or coaching does matter and we have a mediocre at best head coach.

 

Either way it's a disconcerting situation.
