Quote:Nobody is claiming it's an advantage or that it was the primary reason.  Money is always going to be the motivating force, especially for guys coming off rookie contracts.  But, you're dismissing the fact that the players who have signed have indeed referenced that Gus was part of the appeal of coming here.  You dismiss that because it doesn't fit your narrative, and you portray yourself as if you actually know what kind of coach he is behind the scenes. 

 

No, no narrative here, just telling it like it is. Like I said, guys will say things once they're signed, like how they like Gus or whatever, but liking the head coach is way overrated, and I can't think of a single guy that came to the Jaguars instead of going to another team because of how he feels about Gus.

 

The narrative has been all from people such as yourself regarding Gus and the imaginary advantages he bestows on the team by being here. As for what kind of coach Gus is behind the scenes I can't say that I've been in his meetings, but I've seen his results, and they're not special in any way at all. I know it doesn't fit your narrative, but personally I hope he shows I was wrong all along and the team actually succeeds this season.
