Quote:I think "hater" is the perfect term for many on this forum. Just look at the game day threads. WR drops a ball? Fire Gus! Poz misses a tackle? Fire Gus! Robinson muffs a punt! Fire Gus! Luke gets beat and Blake gets sacked? Fire Gus!


The list can go on and on. People are in complete denial of player responsibility and just want to blame the coaches for everything.

 

We'll agree to disagree...

 

When so many things go wrong, like with the Jags, it comes down to a fundamental lack of leadership and in the NFL, the HC is paid to be that guy.

 

He's paid to build a winning program, build a culture of excellence and winning.  To bring in a coaching staff that will build the best team possible with the talent they have.

 

To prepare his team in season and out of season.  To develop players and get the most out their individual talents.

 

To hold players accountable and find ways to motivate them and get their best each game (or most games).

 

Whiel Bradley has done a couple things right he has failed on way too many accounts.

 

This is a fundemental lack of leadership!

 

Blame individual players all you want but if you look at all the winning caliber coaches in football they all have something in common.  They take responsibility and then they go fix the problems.  They demand crisp execution and the best from every player.  Gus's approach to leadership has failed.

 

The HC job is too much for Gus.  He's not a bad guy, just not a capable NFL head coach.
