Quote:I don't think anyone has said coaching doesn't. I do think most people are saying that he doesn't have players and hasn't had enough time to acquire them.

 

Let's break this down into a simple logical operation.

 

Either Gus is an elite coach capable of helping the roster achieve above its level and the roster is so bad that even though it's been historically bad so far during his tenure he's making it better to even get to historically bad...

 

Or, Gus is just a run of the mill kind of head coach that simply only achieves at the rate a run of the mill coach would for a given roster talent level, or even possibly below that.

 

Which do you think it is? That he's got a group that's overachieving to even get to historical levels of terribleness, and he's so far doing as bad a job as Mularky, (which would mean Mularky was an elite coach, too, since he achieved similarly to Gus) or that we're really just seeing what Gus is capable of without having a very talented roster given to him?

 

Logically speaking, which of these scenarios seems closest to reality?
