Could Gus Bradley come back home?

Seems as though Gus Bradley has been canned by the Jaguars. Didn't see this as a current topic, so read below for more info. Will or should Bradley be a Seahawk again?

I'd prefer him over Richards, but Carroll is loyal to his subjects to a fault and doubt he would ever do that, unless it was a move made by Richards himself.

why?


When they hired Gus they thought they were getting the Seahawks Defense.

The Seahawks Defense belongs to two people.

Pete Carroll and John Schneider.

I see no difference between Richard and Bradley, now bringing back Quinn a definite yes.

If Pete had desired to keep Gus bad enough then Uncle Paul would have happily paid for that.

It could be like Alabama with two OC/HC types on the staff just to have an extra set of eyes.

I like Richard, so not to take the DC job.

But as an extra guy on the staff helping out - definitely. Gus is a solid defensive mind, energetic, and players like him.

I think he could also build a really nice career as a college coach, working from DC to HC.

That's not a Pete move. He's very active in trying to give his assistants all they need to move up.

So thankful to see similar reactions to my own posted in here. Gus Bradley and the constant 3rd & Long conversions our defense would give up drove me crazy. Sure, Richard hasn't been the best in this area either, but at best, this would be a lateral move. As has been stated, I want Dan Quinn back, but that just isn't going to happen IMO....at least not any time soon.

How many assistant coaches make head coach money?

That's a great question.

I have wondered too but couldn't find those salaries posted anywhere. Am assuming there are no limits, rules-wise, but perhaps a guy like gazillionaire Uncle Paul is careful to not distort the marketplace too badly - out of gentlemanly respect to the other owners. That, or there really are owner-abiding coach-salary limits we just aren't privvy to, them not being part of the CBA?

No.

Love to have him back in some kind of advisory quality control role.

He's a really good dude, and a fine coach.

No, not unless Richard gets a head coaching gig, which seems very unlikely at this point.

If I could swap out Bradley for Richard I'd do it though, as I think he'd did a fantastic job here and helped build the greatest defense in franchise history.

But that's not how Pete rolls, he stays loyal to his current guys.

I guarantee you Bradley will get snatched up quickly by another team, he's a very good D coordinator. But no, not here.

Gus was never a good DC. He rode Petes scheme and personel to a top defense, if anything Gus held the defense back. Quinn came in and improved the defense. In Jacksonville he tried to bring in every Seattle castoff to replicate our defense, it worked terribly.

When he was hired away, I was happy, I knew he was going to amount to nothing as a HC.
