Didn't have a winning season until his 4th season as a HC. His first Superbowl win was only his 2nd ever winning season and it took a 10 year period for that to happen. Before somebody goes crazy, no I'm not linking the two, but there are many examples of greats in all sports who weren't an instant hit.
If we draft a QB, I'd probably rather let another HC come in and they can hopefully build their era together here. Personally from a point of fairness, I'd say this season was never going to go that well and that a 2nd season would be a fairer reflection of whether ZT has any potential to be a good coach. But he is definitely hugely disappointing thus far, I'm not saying he isn't. If I read today that he got sacked, I'd be fine with that, as would most of us I feel.
If ZT goes 0-16 and than 0-4 next year, can him. I like to give the coaches a fair shot but going 0-20 as a coach you better be ready to be let go. Plain and simple.
