Yes, if there's one thing we know about the modern NFL it's that it takes a multi-year rebuilding project to take a 6win team and have them at the very least still competing for a playoff spot by Thanksgiving, particularly in a terrible conference...oh wait...no, that's only in Buffalo where we talk about needing a "culture change" yet have lower standards for our team than the other 30 nfl cities, ha.

Seriously you make it sound like he took over the '76 Bucs.  Reportedly he was a commodity who wanted Buffalo because there was more talent in place than your typical coaching vacancy.  IMO that's not too hard to believe when you look at the roster.

It just wasn't a good first year: 
[x] Bad offense.
[x] Awful Special Teams.
[x] Same wimpy "anti-analytics" 4th down decision making as every other coach.
[x] Apparently hinged his career to a lousy choice in QB as pointed out by Milhouse.

I'd say the only good thing he's done is hire a DC who was a massive upgrade over the dumpster fire that was Dave Wanndsteadt; which doesn't seem like it should've been too difficult.
