Quote:He definitely whiffed on Fisch, but I think it was pretty admirable for a relatively new HC to admit his mistake and move on after only 2 years. I'm one of those that believes it was Gus' decision to fire Jedd, and that he could've kept him around another year at least if he wanted.


Acknowledging a mistake and quickly moving on is something else we haven't had much of around here.

 

It's not like Gus had a murderer's row of coaching selections to pick from.  When a new head coach is hired, they're usually scrambling to build a staff at a time when most teams are already settled with theirs, and there aren't a ton of to tier candidates just sitting out there waiting for a call.  New head coaches usually tend to hire from a pool that they're familiar with, so that narrows the field even further.  The fact that Gus didn't stick with Fisch after recognizing the problems between the coordinator and the QB is encouraging.  The coaches he hired to bolster the staff show his commitment to improving the situation here.
