Quote:Why do you say no, that it wasn't a mistake to hire Bradley over Arians? I'm just curious?

 

Cuz I don't play the 20/20 hindsight game.  

 

What I do play is the "right now" game.  Right now, it's clear that any coach would have been a better call than Bradley...  But if I was to say, Oh yeah, Arians was the man...  We could still be at this same exact place.  There's too many variables to determine it.  Maybe you're right.  Maybe Caldwell would have been better served not hiring Bradley.  But how can we actually really say that?  Arians took over a vet team.  That team had the entire roster already built.  It's very easy to surmise that Bradley could be the darling now, and Arians the garbage of our team.  

 

Senarios suck because they are laden with hypotheticals.

 

There's too many variables, and it's too much to actually type through.  

 

Just so we're clear.  I'm pretty negative about Bradley, but I still think he has a chance to win.  But it's doubtful.  However, when the decision to hire Bradley came down the pike, one could not fore-tell how the front office dictated to him his terms.

 

I honestly don't care about the first 2 seasons.  Those first 2 seasons were a clear blow up.  Which, if any GM ever tells us we need to do, we should pitch fork them.

 

But it's about this season.  We're 1-4, we should be 3-2...  That's all coaching.  The talent is there.  That's the bottom line.
