Good point, but we've only had 4 HCs since 1984 and all of them either stunk or were Marvin.  You have to admit it's hard to be optimistic "because 1984" when our past 27 years were filled with HC's who followed-up bad starts with bad middles and bad endings.  

So yeah, Wyche was better than his 0-5 start would indicate, but we would have been right to conclude Shula, Coslet, and LeBeau weren't going to shake their bad starts.

Wyche was here during the Paul Brown era...the Mike Brown era is hard on the hopeful.  I don't put too much blame on the HCs, they're hamstrung by the organization and all, but ZT seems more Dave Shula than Sam Wyche so far.  Well, maybe that is cruel...Shula clearly had no business even being near an NFL team.

I hear ya, that's why I wasn't one of those "ZT replacing Marvin is worth another 2-3 wins right there" people.
