Quote:Sometimes good people aren't in a good job fit.  Just not sure this is the best utilization of his talents.  Clearly he has had a lot of success or else he wouldn't have made it to this level.  But clearly something is lacking in his skillset in terms of being a head coach of an NFL team.

 

I'm sure he'll land on his feet.  

 

I think Gus will make a tremendous 2nd coach somewhere. There's a lot of hate for him, but just looking at the reactions from Shad, Dave, Doug, and the players, everyone of these people respected him. I know one of the schtick when Doug was hired was that he was hired to replace Gus. Listening to Doug yesterday and you can clearly tell that wasn't the case. Doug really *did* want to work with Gus, and the firing of Gus was like a gut punch to him. 

 

Gus should step back from coaching to look at a few things:

 

1. Build a better staff. The inexperienced lot he started out here doomed him. 

2. Find a way how he can be a better disciplinarian while still maintaining a positive attitude.

 

I think just by doing those two things, he can be greatly improved the 2nd time around.
