Quote:I agree... But as a fan do u feel anymore confident about Gus if win ?? Or it doesnt matter?

Beyond getting some practice for the starters and evaluation of second and third tier players, the pre-season games are pretty meaningless. They aren't used to evaluate the coaches as a result. As long as I see the starters performing moderately well, and most importantly, not getting injured, I really don't care what the pre-season final scores are. It's the 'pre-season'... it doesn't count!

 

There's really nothing about the pre-season games that make me think one way or the other about the coaches, including the head coach. What will matter to me as far as my evaluation of Gus is concerned is the record at the end of the season. Another losing season... Gus should be fired. Reaching at least  8-8... he's good enough to keep at least one more season. Reach the playoffs and he has secured his position as HC here, at least for a while. This will be the first season Gus will have the pieces on the field to have a legitimate shot at a winning season.

 

Let's see what happens.
