Too bad but he'll get another opportunity. There are a lot worse coaches than Gus that have been around for a long time.

Re: Gus Bradley!!! Jacksonville!!
A major portion of the blame in Jacksonville had nothing to do with the head coach. Poor ownership and a bad GM who were the real string pullers in that organization screwed up the team. GB will land back on his feet somewhere, he is to good of a DC not to. Best thing for him is to go back to being a DC for a few years and come back as a HC in a job that favors him. When he took the Jacksonville job it was a very bad choice for him, he should have waited for a better organization.

Coach Winters: Yeah, but when was the last time 80,000 people showed up to watch a kid do a damn chemistry experiment? Why don't you stick the bow-tie up your ass?

Not the most ideal organization but at the same time you have to take a chance and at that time he wasn't in a position to really wait for a job when he hadn't had a HC job IMO.Originally Posted by 1st&TennBison

Yep, it was a great accomplishment just to get there. You need to take the opportunity when it presents itself because fortunes can change quickly in the NFL. If nothing else he increased his profile from what it was before which should help him land decent coordinator or assistant jobs.

#4 Todd Wash. I have a hard time seeing them hire off the current staff, but it would be hard to turn down an HC job if you're Wash and it came to that.
Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.

It would be great if Gumby got a shot at HC. But I would hate to see him fall and not get a legit shot at turning this teams record around due to the connection with Gus over the years.

Good luck to Gus in his next job - he's way too good to be unemployed long.

Job is a Job. There are only 32 DC positions available.

I don't think they're saying he wouldn't take it. I think they're saying there's no way that Jacksonville can hire Lynn if they're truly a package.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.
