What is the worst 2019 record you would accept from Zac & still feel ok about future?

A healthy AJ and AD for 16 games we should be 8-8 minimum. If ZT coaches a healthy version of 2018 team and ML was trash, then why would anyone accept a losing first season?

For those who accept losing, does this mean you are willing to buy tickets? Does this mean you will not go nuts in game day threads when we lose? For those saying it is all in how they look, so if we win ugly will that upset you as it did some under ML?

It boggles me the low level of expectations being expected of ZT in year number 1, but I am happy some of you will be  thrilled if we look better (what does that mean) while losing?????

For me, give me the ugly wins ZT, no consolation prizes for losers.

I hear ya, but as sick as I was of Marvin Lewis, expecting a QB coach to be better than a veteran HC the second he puts on a headset is wishful thinking.  It could work, it might take time, or he might legitimately be better than Marvin Lewis immediately.  The way I see it, my expectations are that ZT can be better than Marvin, but we are buying in so early on the guy that it may take a while before he is able to coach circles around people who have done it for over a decade.

I'm sure the potential is there, but on paper he is a QB's coach who is now the HC of a franchise with an organizational structure known for limiting success.  It's like taking a regional manager from Wal Mart and making him the CEO of K-Mart and expecting him to immediately undo a decade of damage...or something.
