He's not going anywhere this year anyway, but I think those that demand he be fired immediately if not sooner are too entrenched in their position to be swayed by the OP or this post. I expected 6 wins during preseason. I'm still confident we'll get there. I think 6 wins was one of the more popular predictions on this board at that time but the board does, in general, seem to be in a tizzy about the current state of affairs and about the prospects of Gus remaining as coach. And that's regardless of the fact that 6 wins is still entirely attainable and that with the exception of one game, all of the games we've lost have still been in question into the 4th quarter if not decided in the final minutes. Maybe it's just a very vocal minority but the poll about firing Gus suggests otherwise.


This is how it looks in year three climbing out of the talent void that was created by the drafting of Gene Smith and the subsequent gutting of the roster by Caldwell, which by the way was specifically done to get us in a position to draft someone like Blake in the first couple of years of the regime. The playoffs are gravy if it happens for us this year, which seems less likely as the clots seem like they're pulling things together and look like a good team again. But I don't think that this team rattling of a couple wins in a row is outside the realm of possibility. This might be a completely different conversation if that happens in a couple of weeks as we're still only a game and a half back from the clots with 8 games left to play. Stranger things have happened and seem to happen every year in this league.
