I think he has shown plenty.

Even if the roster isn't optmized -- like it wasn't his first two years -- you would still expect to see signs of good coaching.
[LIST]
[*]Effective systems on both sides of the ball
[*]Quality defensive play
[*]In game X's and O's
[*]Logical substitution patterns
[/LIST]
None of that has been evident for going on three years.

Now, if we'd seen signs of Red demonstrating that he has the coaching chops, but weren't necessarily seeing the results because we didn't have the horses, I don't think people would be satisified necessarily, but I DO think they'd be more patient to give Red time to get system fits in place.  I'm talking about competitive games, good offensive play, etc.

The reality is that there have been excuses / rationalization applied every year.  Year 1, he inherited a roster, didn't have his guys in place, etc.  Year 2, we didn't have sufficient NIL in place to go get good guys.  Year 3, we DID have NIL to spend... but things are still wonky.
