Dick LeBeaus did not survive three straight losing seasons.
Bruce Coslet did not survive three straight losing seasons.
No way on Hell Taylor is back as HC if we have a losing season.
Marvin had been here for 16 years, Bruce turned in his playbook and walked away, and LeBeau's contract expired so it made it easy to move on from him, even though Mike wasn't happy about it.
I do agree though, if Zac has another losing season, it's time to make a change. Maybe if he goes 8-9 and the team is obviously competing at a higher level and looking close to taking the next step, you could make an argument for bringing him back...but anything less than that would be enough to put an end to the Zac era.
