Quote:Someone enlighten me.

 

First two years this team was expected to lose. They gutted the roster and started to rebuild around young talent that we hoped Gus Bradley and co would coach up, develop, and form the basis of the next Jaguars play off team. 


Year three was all about taking that next step. I guess 5-11 and the offensive improvement that we witnessed last season was enough to warrant another year in the job. After all, last year was probably the first year he actually had a roster talented enough to compete consistently with other NFL teams. Problem is they never managed to consistently put it together quickly enough to put themselves in the position to winning games. 


This year we have started poorly and how long Bradley will remain our head coach is debatable. If Khan and Dave have any sense they will be thinking long and hard about making a change to try and save the season. However, it might be too late for that. So maybe they keep Bradly in charge for the entire season, finish with a handful of wins at best, and receive another high draft pick to add to the roster. Fire him in off season (unless his contract expires?), then hire a new head coach to take us forwards. 


But to get back to your original question of why he is still in a job. First two years he got a pass. Third year we showed some progression so he got another pass. This year the expectation should be .500, or preferably better than that, and I doubt we are going to get anywhere near that. So Bradley will go eventually, it is just a question of when.
