Quote:  What led to the question I asked is a good point you made at the being of the thread:  What happens when your process if flawed?

 

  Though Gus Bradley came from an NFL organization that has gone on to have huge success in recent seasons,   Bradley has never had a track record of success as a HC to fall back when adversity has hit.    When a HC has led a team out of a hole,   it's much easier for Assistant Coaches,  players,  and fans to be confident that it can happen with the current team.

 

This was Bradley's first HC job and with some hindsight I think everyone can agree that JDR was a vastly better HC than Bradley.  JDR was just stuck with the Harris/Clean Gene train wreck providing him talent and eventually even he failed to be able to get anything done with those players.  When JDR left here I felt he would be a HC somewhere else soon even though I agreed with the team letting him go when they did.

 

I do not feel that Bradley will be a successful head coach in the NFL.  I think that he will be a successful coordinator somewhere though.  The guy who Bradley reminds me of in some ways is Dom Capers.  He is a guy who always successful as a coordinator but who also failed every time he was given a HC opportunity.

 

Since we are talking about Bradley and his "process", I guess I would say that he does not have a process to manage the big picture as a head coach but he does have the fire and zeal to run one part of a team.  Guys like Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick have a process to run the whole show.
