Quote:Giving Bradley a 1 year extension wasn't a ringing endorsement, nor was it an indication that Gus' job is secure.  However, it is a pretty good probability that Caldwell AND Khan both recognize the challenges this team has faced since the start of this rebuild, and recognition that Gus has grown as a head coach during that stretch.  I think Caldwell's plan is for Gus to be his head coach for the long term, and that the biggest obstacle Bradley has faced since taking over is a real lack of talent to operate the way they envision.  I think they expected that to be the case, and that this plan was going to take time to develop.  I think we're at the point now where the expectation from everyone is that the team should be poised to take a significant step this year.  If it doesn't happen, we'll be talking about a new coaching staff next year.
