The evaluation at this point should be: Can this guy make players on the roster better and actually build offensive and defensive systems? It shouldn't be...can he win 3 games to save his job.
IF he can't...then you want him nowhere near a #1 overall pick...and that pick is probably the only desireable thing that could lure a HC here.
Yeah I can't argue with sacking him this offseason. The question would be 'look at our young/just drafted players', has ZT shown any ability to have developed them so far? Probably too early to tell, but we need to be confident in him being able to develop players to trust the guy with a high pick.
I think if we go 1-15 and just roll out 0-4 next season... unless we've played the Pats and Steelers in all 4 games or something, then he just wouldn't be showing any sign of life. We're a team in transition though so it depends more how we play than just the result at this point. If we look much improved and dangerous but lose a few close games, that's almost better than fluky wins at this stage. We know we aren't winning anything in the next 2 years so it's all about how we play and whether ZT looks to be the man taking us there. Right now, obviously a hard no.
