He might if we stink out loud again this season; but I just can't see us doing worse than we did last season. The question is... will we show enough improvement to justify keeping Gus around here? I generally don't think Dave's job is in jeopardy; overall, I think he's done a fairly decent job as a GM. If you keep in mind that this was his first 'gig' as a GM, then he looks that much more impressive. Still, Gus has had to work with a high percentage of rookies the last two years; between that and the injury bug, achieving a lot of wins has been an unrealistic expectation. 

 

This, however, will be the third year of a rebuild; and while no one realistically has expectations of this team being play off caliber, it shouldn't be out of the question to hope for at least a semblance of an improved end of season record. I myself had some while back suggested that 6-10 might be reasonable. Others have argued persuasively on here for higher and lower figures. Whatever number you pick is purely subjective since in the end the only person who's opinion matters is Khan's, and none of us know what he has in mind, if he as a number in mind at all.

 

Whatever happens, I don't think Khan is going to show Gus the highway unless this team just implodes and there is no explanation for it except straight up bad game planning/coaching.
