That benching was Bush.  

 

Getting back to the point why I even brought up the benching was that it was a bad coaching move--BUT--it's one that I would hope Gus learns from.  That's the key to the whole dog gone thing!

 

I give Gus a pass on his first 2 years as HC.  As everyone acknowledges, the roster was gutted 4 years ago.  Last year was his year to beginning to build his resume.  He continued to make head scratching decisions---BUT--- there were fewer head scratches in 2015 than there were in 2014 and 2013...  So that's progress.

 

Also, the clot home game was best coaching game.  And his positivity kept the train on the rails in London when we fell behind in the 4th Quarter.  So there's some hope here for Gus.  If he's smart, and can learn from his mistakes there's a chance the team and the Head Coach can turn the corner this year.  

 

If he's learned from all his mistakes then it's worth it.  I hope he has.

Why does Gus get a pass on his learning to coach? Just because the quality of players isn't all Madden level doesn't mean he shouldn't have learned a lot along the way, not to mention he's been a coach for years before this gig. Stop with the "roster was bad, we don't know how good he is" stuff. He's been repeatedly whipped by opposing coaches and looked clueless at times as to what do, not to even mention the lack of defensive player development. All signs for Gus are pointing to wasted year in 2016.
