Quote:It is the same team, scheme, and coaches regardless if Gus is here. What's to say they wouldn't have won those one or two games anyways?

 

Stop with semantics. Have you ever been a member of a "team" that depends on each and every individuals efforts? Military or organized sports? Then you would know that pride in what you do places a certain burden on your shoulders for failure and you best believe the individuals will feel responsible. That isn't positive moving forward. Unfortunately, that feeling is somewhat expected in the offseason.

These are grown men. They are playing at a level higher than any person on this board has ever dreamed of. The coach gets fired and guess what? They move on! They play for that pay check and the win. It's a business in the NFL and every single player knows it. They would know that Gus was fired because he wasn't getting the job done. Maybe the players will feel responsible and you know what, maybe that lights a fire under them. You have no idea what will happen with the interim coach and who cares. Does it matter if we are losing games under Gus or under the interim HC? No it doesn't. You're just afraid of the unknown.

 

It's quite clear Gus can not hack it in this league as a HC. Get over the "feelings" of the players. No one cares about that. It's a business and should be treated as such.
