Quote:4-12 or worse, yea I agree - time to find a new head coach (very big Gus supporter)... but enough is enough

 

At this stage we need at minimum 5-6 wins, lol

If we were to roll another season that bad again... I'd have to consider the possibility that Gus might not be here in 2016. I set the bar a little higher at 6-10 though; 5-11 can result from just getting a few lucky breaks that we didn't get last season without the team actually being any substantially better. To get to 6-10 (and I agree, it's pathetic to have such a low goal...) the team would actually have to do some things better than they did the last two seasons. We're not talking giant steps here (I'm also not referring to the John Coltrane song...) but small, measurable, individual improvements that should lead to at least a middle of the pack end of season result. 

 

The good news of this is that if we achieve this then we will have some tangible evidence that Gus is leading the team in the 'right' direction. The bad news of this is if we achieve middle of the pack status we lose the higher draft pick status we've had for some time now and Dave's job becomes substantially harder  and more critical as a result.
