Gus needed to be fired after 2014,
So you want to fire a coach who took a 3-9 team to National Championship game his first year and then went 8-4 his second year
Come on man. Tell me that is a mistake you put in your post.

People have such revisionist history when it comes to Gus for some reason.
2013 was obviously a great year.
2014 we were really good but choked some games away due to having zero defense.
At worst in 2014, the only rational thought was fire the DC (we did) and fix the defense (which we actually eventually did do). No one thought the offense would go to shite. Jeremy Johnson was still the next coming of Brady at this point.
Then 2015/2016 happened and we started having our doubts. But then we looked good again in 2017.
We fired Gus at the right time. Maybe one year too late at most. We actually probably would’ve been in better shape now if we kept Gus until last year (but that’s also looking at things with hindsight).
