Quote:I know most people on this board want the head coach fired yesterday. I have seen post that say "let's see what Maroone can do" and then "if that doesnt work out then let's bring in Sean Payton at the end of the year"...


While that may seem like the obvious thing to do, why would a coach like Sean Payton want to come here if we fire Bradley now?


Since Del Rio was let go, we had Mel Tucker as an interim head coach who wasn't resigned. Then we had Mike Mularkey who was fired after one season, and now we have Gus Bradley who is basically 2.5 seasons into a major rebuild.


How does firing him now instill any confidence in other potential head coaches that could potentially come here? This would show a huge lack in patience or long term vision and I really doubt a guy like Sean Payton would come to an organization that shows these qualities.


I know it sounds horrible but the best thing to do is stick with Bradley at least until seasons end and then reevaluate before making any decisions. And as long as locker room still believes in him, then they should probably let him finish out his contract in year 4 before making a switch at coach.
