If you schedule wisely it shouldn't be that hard. Marrone likely gets to 6 Ws all four years with a more manageable OOC schedule. Last year we stunk. Had our worst team since 2014 and still found a way to win 5 games.

When we have a young team we probably are looking at 4-8. When we have an SR led team we are probably looking at 8-4. The rest should be anywhere in between. The expectation IMO should be for a HC to be .500 or better overall once they have settled into the job.

After his first two years at Wake, Clawson turned them around and has had 5 straight winning seasons. After his first four years at Duke Cutcliffe turned them around and is 5 games over .500 the last 9 seasons even with this crap season they just had. Addazio turned BC around right away and was .500 over 7 seasons there. 
Even if we throw away the 2020 season, if Dino is below .500 next year he will be at best 28-33 over 5 seasons. That won't be turning things around. That will be pretty much stagnant from the Shafer era.
