Honestly, I don't care. This is Pete's defense.

Only do this if the above happens and the current OC is 86’ed as well.THE TABS":y2xmnkdd said:Talk about a double edged sword. We bring back Gus, who singlehandedly destroyed our 2012 season and cost us a chance at the Super Bowl with so many blown fourth quarter leads, including the debacle in Atlanta.
On the other hand, it could mean Tom Cable leaves. It’s almost worth it. :lol:

What are you talking about? Gus didn't have Bouye, Church, Gipson, Campbell, Fournette, Westbrook, or Cole. Those are some huge pieces that have elevated that team. He hardly used Myles Jack or Dante Fowler. Gus dug his own grave while he was there. Granted, he didn't have the above talent, but he had some good building pieces to work with and floundered. Bortles regression started on his watch. He deserved to be canned. He was a failure there.mikeak":1gjzpx5v said:Gus built this years Jacksonville. I thought it was incredibly unfair to fire him last year. Look at how close they were last year in so many games this season was expected. Yeah I would take him back especially if Cable goes

Gus Bradley had the least amount of talent out of all of our coordinators. When Dan Quinn took over we added Mike Bennett and Cliff Avril. I think you could make the case that Gus Bradley actually got the most bang for your buck.

I respectfully disagree. 2012 had incredible depth on the defensive line. In 2013 Avril was not a starter, Clemons was and if I am not mistaken neither was Bennett. Richard has had to deal with a lot of injuries along with depleted depth at the DL and DBs.

Quinn had 4 legit pass rushers that all contributed and all stayed healthy. The linebackers and secondary stayed the same with Maxwell taking over for BB.
