Quote:Some of you have no understanding of the situation. You see Gus as a coach who has underperformed for years, when that isn't the view of him from inside the team. The expectation for the first two years was terrible results as the roster was completely torn down and reconstructed. Year three was a bit of a disappointment, for a variety of reasons, some of which were in Bradley's control, some of which weren't (it should be plain from how he's looking in training camp just how much of a blow losing Fowler was...). There's a complete disparity between the view of some fans (here's a coach who has been failing for three years) and the view of the team (here's a coach who has done exactly as expected for two years, and slightly worse than expected last year, but with some seriously mitigating circumstances).


If the fan view were accurate, then Gus would probably be gone by now. It isn't, though. The team view is, and Gus is probably a whole load safer than a lot of fans think, but still under a lot of pressure this time round.
