Quote:By not firing anyone, Gus is putting his head on the line that he believes we are going in the right direction. Another bad year, he is accountable and looking for a house in the next city he joins as a coordinator.

 

Makes sense to me.  We overhauled the offense and started 6 rookies and got the same results that we got with the guys those rookies replaced.  Rookies tend to develop in their second and third year.  I actually do think it's going in the right direction.  Competitiveness was what I wanted to see this year.  We had a chance to win the game yesterday, again.  That's what we got, with a crapload of rookies starting against playoff teams this year.  Competitiveness and opportunities to win games.  They were there.  Maturation will change a lot of those failed plays into successful plays.
