You probably aren’t trying to be myopic but next year isn’t the measuring stick. He should/will be given reasonable time to do his thing. I was exited to see a year 4 under CML. Hope arnett does well enough that I see year 4 under him.
I don't see it the same. He's not walking into a complete rebuild to a new philosophy. He's got exactly the defense he built and an offense that was good enough to participate in a 9 win season. He's also got a very experienced QB who can be extremely good vs average defenses.
We shouldn't accept a big dropoff year one and he certainly shouldn't need a long leash.
