You worry way to much about coaches.  If Gus Bradley is even an remotely decent coach, he'll be fine in this situation.  There's no way for any coach to look good in this situation.and Gus clearly doesn't look good here.  But they picked the coach they thought would be the best going into the future.  Simple as that.  

 

I can't say much about messages made by coaches because they mean nothing to me.  Don't care if they say they want to be competitive.  Who doesn't?  They are terrible now.  That's the situation.  People are frustrated and I understand it,but making a team slightly less terrible than they are isn't the same as making CONSISTENT PLAYOFF RUNS EVERY YEAR (which is what we REALLY want).

 

The NFL is designed to help teams like us.   We'll have to take a beating and pull ourselves back up (but done the right way).
