If the team shows promise and growth, you stick with him. This team was never going to win more then 4 or 5 games this year, so the W/L record isn't what you should look at. The real indication of things would be if the team shows improvement from week 1 to week 8 to week 16.
I'm sorry, but strongly disagree. If you go 2-14 and follow it up with 4-12 or 5-11, I don't care if you have promise. Losers are losers, regardless if you lose in a less demoralizing/clusterf fashion later in the year.
That's how the Bengals ended up keeping Marvin year after year after year...
Bengals won their final 3 games in 2008 to finish 4-12, that's progress! Better keep Marvin!
Bengals won 2 of their final 3 games in 2010 to finish 4-12, that's progress! Better keep Marvin!
Bengals won 3 of their final 5 games in 2016 to finish 6-9-1, that's progress! Better keep Marvin!
Bengals won their final 2 games in 2017 to finish 7-9, that's progress! Better keep Marvin!
No more of that, please. Win or leave. No more moral victories or dead cat bounces at the end of a losing season. Get Ws.

Most clear-cut way to show that you respect your coach? Win football games, which keeps their job secure.
