I may have misunderstood the question. If what’s being asked is how long will he be given to turn the team around, I think any coach deserves three years to get to the playoffs in today’s game, unless you immediately turn the team into a complete crap show, with player mutinies and such.
I agree that a guy like him should get at least three years unless the team has shown no growth. However, I would be very concerned if we were not in the playoffs by year two. Again, I would expect that from any new coach.
