I think if they dont go at least 8-8 gus gets the boot.lots of people ive talked to around want a 500 team or a new coach. I personally like gus and think he is what this team needs and is the future of our team! But they could always shine bright even with being a young team. Not sure if 2 years ago if kc was a young team but they went like 2-14 then came back and went 14-2 or something like that. Why not us?! Lol yeah i know manily wishful thinking
A new coach would be the worst possible thing for this team. Gus was dealt the hardest coaching job, BY FAR. Caldwell and him were handed an expansion level team with zero talent.
There's a reason why only Poz (who was brought here as a FA), Alualu (who is now a back up), Branch (another back up who may not be on the roster after this year) and Bryan Anger (a Punter....) are the only players left on this team from the previous staff. This roster has been completely overturned over these past two years and is being built the right way.
A new coach would basically mean we'd have to start all over. Caldwell would stay, but a new coach wouldn't benefit this team at all. Any new HC is going to want to do it their way, with their players. Without granting a HC those options, it's going to severely limit the chances and options of getting a good HC.
Anything less than 6 games and Gus is gone. 6 games or more, while being competitive in every game and he's a lock to stay imo. If they win 6 games and get flat out blown out in the other 10, Gus would get fired then as well.
Of course we all want to win right now, but you have to use a level/logical head and actually look at where this team is at and what they're doing. They're building for long term success. Having a little patience now and building a team the right way is what brings long term success in this league. Changing your HC every 1-3 years isn't going to get you anywhere, ever.
