Quote:If you want to see it that way, that's your choice. I am not going to judge him until he has a complete team. Could he have MAYBE won another game or two. MAYBE. But to think anybody could have done anything with that horrible defense is dreaming, IMHO. Guess we'll see next year.

 

Very few coaches get the luxury of a "complete team." Remember the game sealing INT at the end of Superbowl 49? Malcolm Butler was an undrafted guy who was on the back of the Patriots depth chart, but a great coaching staff had a guy who had hardly played and wasn't even thought highly enough to be drafted ready to make the game winning play in the Superbowl. You'll never see that level of coaching out of someone like Gus, either bring him a defense full of guys already primed and ready to win or give him excuses, because there's nothing in between for him.
