We gave JG how many years?
So we should already be conditioned, and we judge MM after 1 year?
2020, the worst year ever, and we are so quick to judge MM.
Most coaches who are going to win Super Bowls, especially in this era, do it in five years. I know many fans are bailing on McCarthy because of how the team has played this year, but there are many reasons for how the team has played, and yes, not coaching well through adversity is one of them.
What I expect is improvement (and that shouldn't be hard based on this season). If the team is healthy next year, I expect them to contend for the NFC East title. If McCarthy can't do that with the offensive players he should have returning, then he'll have proven that he's not the coach that we need. The next year, he has to make the playoffs. That buys him another year to put it all together and win, and another year if we make a run toward a title, which would include making the NFC Championship Game.
Fans are drawing conclusions about him this year just because we've sucked for various reasons. I think it's short-sighted, but he needs to hit those benchmarks I laid out to continue to get the chance to prove he can win a Super Bowl here.
