Pros and Cons of firing Gus Bradley

#41

Quote:Gus Bradley isn't getting fired at this point. If the team continues to play like this, we can revisit, but as of right now it's just one game. Let's see how the team rebounds vs. Miami.
Let's see if the team can score more than 9 ppints against a better team next week guys. I have full faith that gus will be able to put a product out on the field that we can all be proud of. Pay no attention to the fact that he has failed to do so for 33 straight games. Even the wins are ugly.

Quote:It's not one game. It's two years and one game of absolute terrible football.


It's one game this year. Firing the head coach after 1 game into a season is ludicrous.

Quote:I'm not necessarily advocating to fire him today but to claim it's only 1 game is not the correct view point.  The Jags picked up right where they left off last season.  GB is 7-26 (33 games is a good sample size).  He has a 21% winning percentage as a HC and nothing is showing that we are getting better yet in the REGULAR season.  Time will tell, but that's where we are.
 

Everybody here knows the situation.  We have not won games.  WE KNOW.

Quote:I dont think one thing you just said is true.  The only message it sends this early in the season is that its already lost.... after ONE GAME.

 

The guy coaches defense.  The defense is pretty good.  Firing him just hurts that and helps the offense NONE.
 

I don't think they are going to fire him after one game. But lets be realistic here. They are going lose in week three and four. If they don't beat Miami, they are 0-4. Season is over by the beginning of October. Again. If they team is 2-5, 1-6 or 0-7 going into the bye, firing him is almost a necessity.

It's one game into a season with new coaches and players. New offensive philosophy (in theory). So yes, it's one game.

You aren't revealing any shocking revelations.  Everybody knows the next few games are against better teams.  That doesn't mean firing a defensive head coach is going to suddenly open the offense up or whatever you think is going to happen.

I'll let it play out and we can base it on what actually happens. Colts showed they can be beat. Miami might be a tougher game.

Quote:Bradley is breeding a pansy culture.  He gives everyone an out and holds no one at all accountable, not even himself.  At a minimum, at least you put an end to that and it would send a message that people are accountable in the Jags organization.
You know this how? Unless you're in that locker room, you have no idea what's being said behind closed doors. Being a [BLEEP] in front of the media and immaturely calling players out helps nothing. Maybe they should hire you to walk around and bash some skulls. That'll learn em!

We have who we have as a coaching staff at this point.  You ride out the season with who you brought in.  Go ahead and hire or fire staff in the offseason where real growth can occur.  You aren't getting anywhere by changing direction mid season and having less than 7 days to prepare for the next game.

 

Dance with who brought you or whatever they say

I never said anything about acting a fool in front of the media.  Results reflect leadership.  The proof is in the pudding.

Quote:33 games, 7-26, use facts.


Here are the facts straight from the horses mouth.


The previous games do not matter to the guys making the decisions:

Quote:"To be quite honest with you we may have won more games than I anticipated when I first took the job over the two year period. I was very honest with Shad where we were at. He knew even before I interviewed where we were at. When we hired Gus I told him exactly where we were at from a talent standpoint and that we were going to do this with youth," Caldwell told reporters when asked about the win total the past two years.

<a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.bigcatcountry.com/2014/12/31/7473987/jaguars-2015-offseason-david-caldwell-nfl-free-agency'>http://www.bigcatcountry.com/2014/12/31/7473987/jaguars-2015-offseason-david-caldwell-nfl-free-agency</a>


Gus will be judged on how his team performs THIS season.
"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

Either way you look at it, we are in a bad position. Just pick your poison. Keep incompetent Bradley or fire him, either
way this season is done.

So you give Bradley a new lease on life every year (i.e. new players from the draft, FA or new coaches)?

For sure. But it's not looking good at the moment.

New coaches but the same problems arise.... What's the constant? Bradley.

Bradley isn't incompetent as a coach.  The defense is good.  The problem is the offense that is lacking good blocking, guys who can catch, and experience at QB.  We ride or die with the offensive staff we have.  They can adjust their strategy and get results or be gone at year end.

It's like being in a kayak headed for a waterfall. You can say "well lets see what happens" or you can look at the waterfall and know what's going to happen.

No, at the end of the year you can look at the big picture.

Quote:Did we get better when we fired Tom Coughlin for JDR? How about from JDR to Mularkey? Taking a step back is a real possibility.


We can't go any farther back. We've won 7 games and got embarrased yesterday. I'm not following this. 0-5 is a strong possibility.

Bradley is a decent DC, he is incompetent as a HC.  He still mismanaged the game at times yesterday in his 3rd year as a head coach.  His teams are ill-prepared.  He is not cut out to be a HC in the NFL.
