It's not about "changing things overnight." No one was expecting him to lead us to 11+ wins in year one. There's a big difference between not immediately turning into a contender and finishing 2-14.
As to the rest... Marvin's leftovers won 6 games the year prior. The injuries last year weren't nearly as bad as some claim (we've covered this before), and plenty of coaches inherit teams without "their QB" and without the perfect players to fit their system right from the jump. Almost none of them go 6-25-1 while they're waiting to build out their roster and hoping for an injury free season.
I'm sorry, but as much as some refeuse to admit it, these last two seasons count. Zac Taylor had the same opportunites in front of him that any number of new coaches have. He's failed miserablely. There's no excusing it. Hopefully he can turn things around but we can't pretend like he hasn't had a fair shake of things.
