Quote:It's always funny to look back on things with 20-20 hindsight, but it's educational in getting to see who got things right early. Let's start with the 2015 preseason, the beginning of Gus's third season at the helm of the ship. People were expecting at least a .500 record thanks to the easy schedule the Jaguars were facing, and they were half right, the Jaguars did face a historically easy schedule, but a .500 record with Gus leading the way was a bit much to ask. Still some of us saw the problems coming well ahead of time and others didn't.

 

Heading into 2015 almost 3/4ths of the fanbase that bothered to vote still believed in him, I think this post speaks for itself: https://jungle.jaguars.com/index.php?/to.../?p=520501

 

 

 

 

The posts in that thread are more telling than the poll. 

 

The thread is littered with folks saying that Gus had little excuse not to push .500 (or better)  in 2015 or he's probably (or certainly according to some) not the right guy. 

 

I guess if you want to feel some affirmation for having no hope for him to come around a little sooner than myself and a host of others, then you've achieved your goal. Cheers. 

 

Personally - I feel good about rooting for the guy to eventually come around in 2015 - even though in October 2016 I knew there was absolutely no way it was going to happen. I guess I just find it more enjoyable to root for the coaches and players on my team than to give up on them only 2 years into their tenure.
