Quote:I get where you're coming from here, but understand it's not that anyone is 'okay' with only 6 wins; the idea was more about what the minimum record would be for Gus to remain here. That's a different idea than being 'satisfied' with only 6 wins. Now having said this, the 'six wins saves Gus' idea was proposed back before the injury bug elected to visit our team. Given the situation with Marks, Fowler, and Thomas, Gus 'might' arguably have a reasonable rational if the team fails to reach 6 wins this season. Not that it would make any of the fans feel better; we've endured one awful season after another for years now and we've heard all the excuses before. No one (no one not in a straight jacket, that is) is looking for us to win a super bowl this season; however, it's time for this team to stop being so...... awful. We'll see.

 

I can guarantee that Gus Bradley will probably lose his job if he fails to get more than four wins this year, because look at the NFL track record especially in Jacksonville.  It is a tough league for tough men which includes coaches, if you fail to perform on the field you lose your job.  Is he a great guy, sure.  Does he have potential to be a great head coach, sure you could say that about a lot of guys that arent Head Coaches.  It is put up or shut up time.  In order to be 'Safe' he has to win this year.  He had three years with GM Dave Caldwell to gut the team and rebuild, a huge gutting (some dispute that it wasnt all needed).   He doesn't need to take the team to the playoffs especially with the injuries and lack of talent still at key positions but he has to at least get close to the .500 mark this year or be really close in the games that he lost.
