Quote:You're talking about making decisions out of fear, that will never work.

 

I do agree that the offense has taken a big step forward (I also do not want that to regress).  Olson's contract is independent of Gus's.  Caldwell could choose to keep Olson and make that an agreement with a new head coach that comes in.

 

Our defense and Special Teams suck so if (hypothetically) Gus, Babich and the ST's coach were all fired, it would not decrease our performance in those areas.

 

So, as you alluded to, the only hesitation and fear is that the offense gets set back by getting a new OC and having to learn a new scheme.  I agree.  But, as I mentioned above, I think that's where Caldwell can decide to keep Olson and offensive positions coaches as he sees fit.

 

They only way for this team to win if we keep Gus is if Caldwell continues to improve as a GM and the team becomes so overflowing with talent that they win in spite of Gus being terrible (which is baically what is happening now).

 

You didn't answer my question, and while your premise is correct about Olson's contract you don't know if a new coach will want to keep Olson...

 

Also a new head coach would change the entire culture of the locker room. I know you are angry with the loses, but how can you give Gus blame for defense woes but then give him no credit at all for how the offense is doing.....That makes no sense what so ever...

 

If they players didn't believe in what Gus was saying they wouldn't be playing hard every week. I haven't seen them give up on any game this season. Which is another reason I am not ready to get rid of Gus yet, because he hasn't lost the locker room...

 

So which coach do you want to bring in?
