Quote:Good post. I think the main issue with Bradley at this point is just bad decisions. Bad timeouts, bad challenges, Gerhart 4 times straight up the middle...


He can get better. The defense definitely needs more talent, but I don't think babich is good. I'd actually rather see Gus call the defense and let olson/marrone have control of the offense.

 

Eh its a double edged sword. I think one of the things that Gus struggles with is game-day decision making stuff, like you mentioned. Clock management, timeouts, challenges (though supposedly they have someone who reviews and gives Gus a yay/nay. In which case they need to fire that guy).. 

 

The problem is, while Gus may improve the defensive playcalling (which badly needs improvement), doing so will take away further from what he needs to do as a coach...manage the team during game day.

 

I rather we get someone to replace Babich and allow Gus to continue to grow into his role as a HC.

 

It's almost...kind of a forgotten or ignored thing. The roster (esp the offense) has gotten a pass for being young. DC got a pass for basically throwing two years down the drain as a 1st time GM. But Gus is also a first time HC, yet very few are willing to give him the time that they have no problem affording to the roster or the guy who built the roster.
