While I agree with this, the Saints next coach will be starting with a 1-2 year disadvantage. It's one thing to take over a team that needs to be gutted. It's another to take over a team that needs to be gutted and you have very limited resources (over the next 1-2 years) with which to repopulate the roster. So if a 2 year honeymoon is considered reasonable, you'd have to tack another year on at the very least. Excellent drafting over the next 2 years might be the only cheat code you could hope for, unless you want to keep mortgaging the future.
