Quote: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...

Thats actually not true at all.

 

Last game wasn't Gus' fault at all. Timely turnovers were the cause for the loss last week. I made that statement many times this week. But feel free to lump me in with that crowd if you must. It's not black and white. You can see improvement in the team and still believe a better HC is out there that could lead this team to more wins.

 

However if we continue to lose winnable games, who does that fall on? Would a better coach be able to win those games where as Gus lost? 

 

Have the players on offense improved because of Gus or is it because Blake is  good now that he has Hacket and Olsen? I'm leaning more towards the OC and QC.
