The next head coach is inheriting a mess

That’s why I’m also talking about patience. Do you mean specifically the next coach or in general?

I don’t know what Allen was told but I don’t think we can expect much over the next 2-3 years.
To me, patience IS time. A new coach is going to want 3 years minimum to complete the turnaround. He may even want some control over who’s contract gets kicked down the road.
