Find myself questioning the league's reasoning for allowing this guy to continue coaching.

Signature goes here.

Throw Jeff "the mustache" in there too.

Just another reason why I never want to see Fisher associated with the Jags in any way except for being a losing coach.

I love that Zimmer had the guts to call Williams out and suggest that he's still coaching dirty. Williams is scum and shouldn't be allowed to coach in the NFL.

Most people on here would take him over Gus.

I have no problem with head hunting as long as the hits are legalish.

Most people just want anybody over Bradley, not a specific coach. And the only reason they want him gone is impatience with our losing.

There is no such thing as legal head hunting.

Are you suggesting we should be more patient with losing until we can articulate why a certain coach is the one and only option superior to Bradley?

My issue with the anti-Bradley threads on this board is posters act like a new head coach would be the next Jim Harbaugh. Nobody likes losing, of course. But to say Gus is the worst NFL coach or something like that by citing his record as a Jaguar regardless of the clear progress we are making on the field every week with injured players and backups, that just does not make sense. Everyone needs to accept the fact that Dave Caldwell's plan - fix the offense, then the defense, then the special teams - to get more talent on the field is going through growing pains for the long-term success we all look forward to. I believe in keeping coaches when the main problem is lack of talent, not their jobs.

I mean like trying to put someone off the pitch by hitting them in a legal fashion.

I never heard or read that terminology about head hunting, The NFL rule book is very clear: Absolutely no use of the crown of a player' helmet to intentionally hit an opponent's helmet. That has been the rule longer I knew what football is.

Head hunting doesn't actually mean hitting in/with the head...

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

I have no problem with head hunting as long as the hits are legalish.

You mean like the one on Teddy Bridgewater, as he was clearly finished sliding?

 

Come on now.

 

What if that was BB5?

 

We'd be calling for the heads of Fisher, Williams, and the player who committed the penalty.

---

Keep it classy Jeff.

 

The guy is, and has always been, dirty. He coaches dirty because he allows dirty plays to happen. What we allow, we promote. Fisher promotes dirty.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

If the play was over, personal foul/unnecessary roughness is the right call. In that case it is irrelevant whether Bridgewater slid or went down headfirst.

 

When a quarterback is sliding, a flag should be thrown for hitting him as he goes down during the play. Unfortunately this penalty is often not called.

 

I never blame coaches for personal fouls. That penalty is the player's fault.

Nobody is sure that the next head coach would be a Super Bowl champion, but what we are sure of is that Gus Bradley is not one. He might not even have it in him to be a division champion. When you know that your current coach clearly isn't the guy, replacing him with someone who might be is the logical next step. Most NFL coaches fail, but you'll never know until you hire a guy if he's the next Bill Parcells or the next Gus Bradley.

 

To your second point, I think you'll find that the overwhelming sentiment on this board is that talent is not the problem. Caldwell has stocked this team with at least enough talent to be pushing for 8-8, which very well may win the AFC South this year. Bradley displays zero acumen for clock management, player substitutions, assignments, play-calling, lineup changes, etc. Making Gerhart a healthy scratch last week may well be the best coaching decision he's made all season. Think about that for a minute.

"Head hunting", in this sense, refers to a business practice of identifying people who might be well-suited to fill a particular job.
