Quote:There also have been a lot of blurbs coming out stating that gus gave players a specific role for each play and they werent allowed to adapt or change what they were doing even if the offense changed. 

 

just something as simple as that could have ruined the season. you cant keep smashing these square pegs in round holes. 

 

same thing on offense.... olson or gus, whoever decided on things like running toby up the middle 40 times in a row for no gain...its stuff like that, no creativity, no adapting, no halftime adjustments. 

 

gus left his ice cream fingerprints all over everything and it brought everyone down. 

Gus was the absolute king of this and it blew my mind. Find out what your players do well and fit schemes to them. "Cyp. Go play single high safety" "Ivory. Go do these stretch runs." "Blake. Sit back and read the defense"

 

If the Jags had just run a basic 4-3 defense with no single high safety, they would have probably won more games in 2015. To me, Gus was a worse coach in 2015 than 16.
