Exactly this.
I've been talking to some friends lately about our respectable teams and what I always bring up is;
This is only Scot's 2nd year. When he was first hired we were all ready to wait patiently for a proper 3-4 year rebuild. Then we somehow won the division last year and now most fans are expecting instant success. McCloughan is doing things right and shoring up spots one after another. Next year (and i'd even say a 4th year really) is when we'll really see what his plan pans out to be.
So far, yes, I'm satisfied. Anybody who isn't satisfied either forgot how poorly this team has been the prior 20 years or just started following the team recently.
This is a HUGE step up from where we were just 5 short years ago.
