First year as HC 2-14
2nd year as HC 6-10 (though they started the 2nd year 3-0 after the first 3 games)

Guess San Fran should've jettisoned him after their 2nd season, no?

Zac Taylor may or may not be in over his head. So far, the best you can say about him is that the team still played hard for him last year in  week 17 and that we don't lose by a lot of points. That doesn't mean he won't figure it out and become better than Bill Walsh or Bill Belichick  (doesn't mean he will, either, I know) .

The point being anyone who says we should just let him go NOW is, at best, short-sighted and, more likely, just plain dumb.

Bill Walsh, who in the two years before getting the 49ers job ('77 and '78) won two bowl games as the HC of Stanford? Also had Stanford finished ranked in the teens in the AP polls both years. Even though Stanford hadn't been to a bowl game OR finish ranked any of the 5 years prior?

You're trying to compare guys who had success prior to their jobs against Zac Taylor, who simply hasn't had success anywhere. Taylor has NO time in his coaching history where he can point and go "see, I can do this, I know what I am doing" like the two examples you've tried to make.
