Quote:Because he might hamper this juggernaut we're building here?

 

If Gus is to be fired, I don't think the replacement is in this staff. The thing that concerns me is that the players REALLY like Gus. We've had some bad teams before where the locker room is a mess (Mularkey). We had not so bad teams that locker rooms were a mess (JDR). That these players still believe in Gus is big, because as we've seen before, other coaches could have lost the locker room already. 

 

Judging by many of the Bills fans comments, I get the feeling that they think Marrone would lose this locker room if he had been here from the beginning instead of Gus.

 

That said, I am very disappointed in Gus' lack of development. Bad challenges, time management, gameplan (ugh against NE), I think those are definitely very much against him. I very much like Gus, and I think the players do too. I mean, I sat in one of his meetings before and I was prepared to suit up and play a game...he has that ability. 

 

I can't remember which former player it was, but he said NFL players aren't dumb. They know when a coach is "faking" it and don't know what they are doing. If that's the case, then Gus will eventually lose this locker room...regardless of how likeable he is.
