Quote:I'm not a Gus fan, so keep that in mind as you read this. As bad as things seem at the moment, (and that loss to Indy and the way it happened does indeed suck...) let me ask a question; who would you replace Gus with that ya'll think you could guarantee would do better than Gus who is actually available and would be willing to come here?

 

I suggest that we put the fire Gus vibe on the back burner for a little longer; at least until we can no longer reach 6-10. That means that the moment... the very moment... we hit 7 losses Gus should be given his walking papers and we let someone else finish the season as an interim HC. I personally consider the hiring of a rookie HC to have been a bad idea given we had very little veteran player experience to help all the new rookies come along. That is/was just too much inexperience on the field at the same time. But... this was Caldwell's call... and Khan's too, for that matter. Maybe instead of shucking out all that money on swimming pools and a big billboard/scoreboard he should've invested those big bucks into enticing  a big name coach with playoff experience out of retirement to coach here. But, it is what it is, and now this is what we've got.

Smashing good job 'ol boy!

 

If... on the other hand... we do manage to pull out 6 wins this season, then I think we shouldn't be too quick to pull the trigger on sacking Gus. But of course that means enduring more of what we've seen too much of already. So here's the alternate idea; next week we play the bucs. The bucs have a rookie quarterback and are eminently more beatable than the dolts are... even without luck. If it should prove that we fail to beat a team with a rookie running the offense, then maybe... just maybe it's time for Khan to intervene in this debacle and pull the plug on the Gus juice and let him find employment elsewhere.

 

Yup... we should've had the dolts today; had them down and everything. But I don't think we should let the dolts be the 'benchmark' that determines what we do. If we can't get a win from the bucs, maybe it's time to say bye to Gus.

Dude. It's not hard to do better than Gus. Maybe the new coach actually gets some wins. If he doesn't? Then it's no worse than what would happen if Gus was here.


He's garbage and someone new might provide some new blood to this team. Marrone could take over and more than likely do better than lose to a 40 year old QB.
