If MF drops another game to go 10-2 in the regular season and most certainly misses the playoffs...I'll be highly disappointed based on what coulda/should been. I'll be super pissed off after whatever game he loses, I'll talk my shit about him until I calm down.
But, if he's able to win whatever shit bowl we play in to go 11-2. When I go back and make my level headed post season assessment, he would be 9-4, 10-3, and 11-2 in his first 3 years ever being a HC...a reasonable man has to look at that as progress, even if frustratingly slow process still progress.
