Quote:what is that going to accomplish other than having Gus gone? Do you think just having him gone is going to fix everything? Firing Gus just to be rid of him will solve nothing...Do you think that firing Gus now will magically make the receivers stop dropping passes right in their hands? Will it make the run game suddenly become wide open? Will it increase BB accuracy? Will it suddenly lead to more sacks and disruption to the qb? I doubt it

 

I'll tell you what it will accomplish.   It will tell all the prospective head coaching candidates that they will be coaching with a gun to their heads.  

 

The best way to attract good candidates is to show them that we gave Gus every opportunity to turn this thing around.   And that means at least let him finish out his 3rd season.  

 

We all (at least, most of us) said if we could get 6 wins, Gus could stay on one more year.   We've only played 4 games.   How could he possibly get 6 wins in 4 games?  

 

So, I agree with you.   I say, we have to show all the other head coaching candidates that we treat people right.   That we give them a full chance.   That we don't fire people on a whim or out of anger or to send a message.
