How Many Years Before Talking about Firing

I am in Chicago and the radio was talking about Lovie Smith and how tomorrow's game vs. Cleveland is a must win for Coach Smith or serious discussion about replacing him needs to be addressed. What the heck? He has been here for two (three?) years and they are talking about firing him. It got me thinking about the situation in Buffalo. How many years do you give a coach (and let's be serious, rational an fair) before the discussion among fans is that of his elimination (his football coaching job, not his life)?

In today's NFL, three years. The third year is when you see if his system and his players works.

yep, in today's NFL

1st year = Mulligan

2nd year = show some progress

3rd year = contend

 

if we don't turn things around next year (yes, we're almost to the point of thinking about next year and its only week 5), then MM will be on the hotseat
