Quote:Yes, but Pettine managed a 7-9 record last year, and has had to work without a starting Quarterback.  And he still didn't get a third year. 


Extending the coach when he hasn't earned it doesn't endorse winning either.  Did Gus earn this extension?  Most would agree he did not.  

1. No...Pettine DIDN'T earn a 3rd year.  But I don't want this team to emulate Cleveland.

 

2.  I wouldn't say Bradley earned the extension, either, based solely on the record.  In fact, I would even suggest that given Khan's stated expectations of significant improvement being required next year, that he hasn't been thrilled with the W-l record.  But he seemingly has endorsed this extension by permitting it.  Why?  If it was purely Caldwell's decision, why would he risk endangering himself by extending Bradley one more year against Khan's wishes?
