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.  

I agree, mostly. I thought year one was a trainwreck...which I kinda expected, but not two wins bad. Last year I saw some flashes that gave me pause in wanting to fire him. I think that the injuries really derailed that typical improvement we usually see. Even in losing, they were at least fun to watch, which meant some good things had to be happening. Beating Shitsburgh with Ryan Finley kinda showed me that all of that culture talk wasn't just lip service. Then they went out and spent some money, and the rest is history.
