Year 1 was considerably improved over GRob.
Year 2 was further evidence the program was on track.  Including a bowl game and a winning season.
Year 3 was a step backwards to essentially a .500 team, but remained head and shoulders above anything GRob put on the field.
You want to bail now?  To answer your question, you want to see continued progress -- BOTH in terms of competitiveness and wins.  And there are two ways this has been done.  (1) The Lightning in a Bottle Fix -- Take Tulane when Shaun King played there.  Exceptional athlete, took Tulane's program to new heights.  Coach leaves, King leaves.  Program is in the s#!++er again. (2) Brick by brick.  Less reliant on that one spectacular talent to get you over the hump -- the kind of program that absorbs losses of players and assistants (and even HC's if necessary).
 
Yes, it would be GREAT to combine both.  Maybe HCDM's "Brick by brick" approach will be impacted by an individual player, such as Ashton Broyld.  Maybe not.  But I think most here knew this was not a quick fix situation.  We're entering year 4.  I believe this year and next SU will continue to improve both in competitiveness and wins.  I also believe the program is far more solid than it was several years ago, and will only get better.  We're building a program, not a season.
