Quote:I'm not saying Gus is the answer, I'm just saying that firing Gus tomorrow isn't going to result in the team doing a 180 for the remainder of the season. Complain about Gus all you want, but the lack of execution everyone complains about here falls on the position coaches and coordinators as well as the head coach. Heck, Gus doesn't even call the plays on either side of the ball and that's one of the biggest complaints on the forum. Just firing Gus and leaving the majority of the staff isn't going to change much this season.

 

While more than likely, you are right that we won't see a 180 degree turn around, it's my opinion that we'd see a difference in the team by canning Gus.  I'm not gonna be able to change your mind, and I'll respect your level headedness on this one.  But I honestly think that there is something going on with his philosophy of how he approaches games that his holding back the team.  It's my thought that he's the one that directing the DC and OC in terms of the overal scheme he wants run out there.  

 

Obviously I can't prove it.  But to me, I think if you get a real HC in there during the bye, we may see a more aggressive D and an offense that doesn't leave their best RB on the sidelines on important short yardage situations.
