Quote:We'll know in a few weeks.  It will really suck for you if they don't fire Gus before the season is over, I'm sure.

Not really. Marrone is the only real option as an interim head coach, and while I think that the team's situation justifies giving him a look, Khandwell may not. I just spend three hours a week crying into my cereal, then the next 48 hours or so on here raging about how a team with as much talent as ours can keep finding ways to lose. It wasn't like this until the Indy game. Up until the Indy game, I had hope. When the Colts spent three hours trying to give us the game and we kept politely refusing it, I snapped. Bradley is terrible. I'd love to see him fired, and I'd love to see what Marrone can do, because I actually think that Marrone could get more out of this team than Bradley can.

 

But, you know, at the end of the day, if Marrone limps this team up to 5-11 and is replaced anyway, what have we gained? Really, what would we have gained other than a spot or two on some meaningless ESPN power poll?

 

There are valid arguments for keeping Bradley through the end of the season. Unfortunately, none of those arguments are, "He's the guy to lead this team back to the playoffs." That, to me, is reason enough to consider letting him go before the season ends. Long before.
