Quote:I can't say what anchormans motivation is for stating his opinion (and neither can you 'wrong_box') but I will state the obvious; Gus Bradley has one of if not the most dramatically poor records as a head coach in the history of the NFL! We have the talent on the team to be at least decent, yet we continue to lose games we could've won. That's all any of us really needs to know or say. Everything else such as 'the players are behind him' is utterly irrelevant. Wins are what matter, period. Now into his third season here, and with arguably the softest schedule this season of any team in the NFL, we only have four wins and those against teams who are/were in trouble with injuries or other internal team matters... and we just scraped by with those wins!

 

Given this scenario, consider if at the end of this season we (that is, Dave Caldwell) becomes aware of another HC candidate who has the credentials that suggest he is a better HC than Gus. Do you still want to 'hang with Gus' and what we know he has produced here (perennial bottom dweller ratings) or take a chance at someone else who might actually be a better HC... or might not. Given that we're already at the bottom of the food chain I don't see that we have anything to risk at this point if we do change head coaches... and many would say that we should've done so sooner.

 

maybe...

Or maybe.....people are expecting way too much for a team that was gutted to the bone and is now playing with players who have very little experience when compared to the 31 other teams...who would you expect to win...teams with nearly every position  filled with seasoned vets of 4/5/6 years or more, or a team filled with 2nd/3rd year players and a handful of FA? More Experience > less experience....
