He's going into his third year and has as many wins in that timespan as the team he took over from Marvin.
Marvin Lewis took the worst team in the league in 2002 (2-14) and got them to 8-8 immediately, another 8-8 the following year, and then division champs in 2005 with arguably the best offense in the past two decades.
Brian Flores turned around a Dolphins team in just his second season.

Why is it acceptable that Zac Taylor took over a 6-10 team to a 2-14 record, then a 4-11-1 record.
Now, we want to basically say that even if he doesn't get to a winning record this year but still improves on 4-11-1, they should probably keep him because it takes a long time to get players acclimated to new schemes?

I'm sorry, but even if you want to use the injury excuse, that's why you add good depth.
Taylor chose to draft Ryan Finley, and he chose to sign (and now re-sign) Brandon Allen.
They chose to re-sign Bobby Hart.
They chose to extend a RB for $12 mill a year in a pass-focused offense.
They chose to go with mid-to-late round LBs and bad journeyman veteran stopgap LBs vs actually addressing LB.

Flores had 24 first round picks. Marvin walked in to a first rate roster.

Zac walked in to a team that thought John Ross was a top 10 pick. 

I think most folks realize he wasnt going to come in to the garbage roster and take it to a super bowl.
