With the 2020 team having more talent than the 2018 team, I felt at the start of this year that the 2020 team should have at least 6 wins for the coaching staff to have earned their jobs for next season.
Essentially, if the team wants a championship, then its coaching staff need to be able to get more out of players than average. Marvin got enough to make it to the playoffs 5 straight times, but fell short on the playoff wins with zero.
Now we are at the half-way point and the team is 2-5-1, but those additional wins are possible.
They still have 4 games where they may be favored. (WFT, Giants, Dallas, Houston) 1 game that is winnable, but still not easy (Miami), then of course 3 very difficult games (Steelers x2, Baltimore). If they can win three of those winnable games and sneak one of the other 4, that gives them 6 wins. Given their start, and how close they've been in every game, that is definitely enough to warrant another season for ZT, I would still get rid of Lou no matter what.
