It likely depends on the context. If it's a team that fights tooth and nail and doesn't constantly sabotage itself and just simply falls victim to ridiculously good competition while also showing improvement over last year, he's probably fine. But if they're a mess and have a lot of the same issues and there's whispers about the coaching internally, like there were last year and they end up just above or below .500, it might be a different story.You truly think based on Kraft's comments over the last couple years if Bill doesn't at least get to the post season this year then he's gone? Not asking in an antagonistic way just truly curious what bar you think Bill has to clear to be the coach again next year?
I think the latter is unlikely. I think Jones will play better, and he's capable of being maybe not great but good enough. If he doesn't turn it over and can repeat a lot of the success scoring points as he did down the stretch last year, he'll be fine. They're built to win with their defense, with the offense hopefully handling its end of the deal this time around.
