Quote:I'm not sure where the notion comes from to fire the HC to appease the fans.  Speaking for myself (and probably a lot of the fans who believe he should be fired) it's because I don't see a leader who can take the Jags to the Super Bowl (which is the goal after all right?).  You can look at it from multiple angles.  I also believe that the majority of the other NFL head coaches in the league would get more out of this roster than Bradley does.  I also know that if Gus is to turn it around then it would be historical improvement since there are less than a handful of coaches who have started nearly this bad in their HC career and made it to a Super Bowl (i.e. Chuck Knoll, Jimmy Johnson).  There's no way I can believe that Bradley will turn out to be a HOF type of coach.

 

Now, for those who are on the Gus bus and believe in him, it's all good.  However, my opinion is that more evidence points toward Bradley being a failure than a success as an NFL head coach.  I think most who are in favor of Bradley are actually more opposed to "starting over" than they are actually "for" Bradley.

 

IMO, if we have a new coach next year, we will see a lot of improvement because the potential on the roster is actually pretty decent.

The only real qualm I have with Gus is that, at least publicly, there seems to be no accountability.

While we don't have the glaring position like early last season when moves were made on the Oline because of poor play.... I would have liked to see Gus take a time out on the drive that had multiple penalties, and kind of get the guys together and give them a talking to.

 

Although I will say this past Monday his presser had a slightly different tone. He was honest and you could see in his face he seems to be losing the positivity and moving toward "better figure out how to save my job"

 

I suspect we'll see a more polished team against the Bucs. If not... we may need a more firm voice to guide.
