I'm not obsessed with Gus at all. I see the improvement in the offense (mainly due to Olsen I would assume) and I love the young core of players. That's why I want a great coach to lead this team. I don't (and many others agree) think that Gus is the guy to take us to the promise land which is the ultimate goal here.

 

Maybe he will save face and actually string together some wins here but I doubt it. He hasn't shown that he has the ability to win games that are winnable.

 

On the whole, I agree with you (check the Fire Gus thread if you want my full views). BUT... so many people on here, you included, have fallen into the trap of "everything bad = Gus's fault" and "everything good = the talent level we have or other good coaches".... it happens on every bad team. That talent level we have, does Gus get no credit in developing a young team to the point where we consider them talented? I think it is only fair that Gus does get credit for some of the positives about this franchise, just as it is fair he gets criticism for the negatives...
