Imagine what it'll be like in New England. I think a coach should get three years minimum, unless it's a complete Trainwreck. That firing in Miami was ridiculous.

The argument could be made (and I made it several times myself) that the last 2 years here were a train wreck.  Progress didn't look amazing from year one to year two.  I'd have to think it's a pretty low probability that every coach can turn it around in 3 years if the first two are stinkers.  I'm beyond pleased it's worked out for Zac and I'll eat my crow on asking for his head, but I wouldn't blame any team for firing their HC after winning 6 games in 2 years. 

Merv got Coach of the Year after taking a 2-14 team to 8-8 the next year.  Zac taking a 4-win team and bringing them to 10 wins and into the postseason most assuredly deserves that honor and recognition.
