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.
....and what I mean by trainwreck is an Urban Meyer kinda scenario. Back biting in the media, player arrests, etc. Not just losing close games.
