Quote:3 more winning seasons than the Gustler.

 

Quote:Maybe so, but Gus is averaging 3 wins a season for his 2 years and this year isn't looking any different yet, although there is still plenty of games for him to improve on that 3 win average, but can he really do it?

 

JDR actually had a 12 win season and made the playoffs a couple of times.

 

What was JDRs worst season, record-wise, while he was here?

 

You have both been around long enough to see my stance on both coaches. I would never pretend either of them are the answer at HC or that Gus is better than JDR.

 

I am also not saying that if Gus was given as long of a tenure as JDR was by an over loyal owner, he wouldn't become a better coach than he is now. Del Rio has the luxury of 9 years of failure and little success to lean on in his new job. I think that is pretty significant and why I am not surprised he is doing well so far.

 

Times have changed in the NFL. People expect to win now and aren't given 9 year runs like Del Rio was nor should they.

 

Edit: About the over loyal owner, it was a blessing and a curse because the team is still in Jacksonville because of that flaw.
