That 5-3 start could have easily been 2-6, and I don't think that's any more unreasonable than saying he "might" have won 9 games or so. By the time the Miami game rolled around it seemed pretty clear that they probably weren't who they teased they might be, and I don't think that's just because of the Eifert injury at that point.
If our early-season wins were a mirage (and there was some luck there, to be sure) then that should make us even less hopeful for 2019 shouldn't it? A 2-6 start to last season and if we have the same end we are looking at what....3-13 or so? Even with moving on from Marvin it would be hard to be optimistic at all after that.
