Hiring him as HC was one of the biggest mistakes this franchsise has made in its history. Staying the course any longer than necessary won't change that fact. Someone else will be coaching the skins in 2010. We can either start laying the groundwork for that now, or wait until the seasons over and "blow everything up." It needs to happen. Its going to happen. Staying the course is not an option.

So you want to compare a cruise ship to a football team? I would rather use the stock market. You don't want to sell too quickly. The football team will never sink and be lost forever, a ship is most likely gone if it sinks. A football team can come back after a shitty performance, a boat...not so much. A stock can be doing very poorly one day and come back strong for a long time. The team hasn't totally matured under the WCO and Zorn, its too soon to cut our loses. I think you have to give a coach at least 4 years (except for a very few like Gibbs and Belichick). Don't start rambling about Tomlin and Gruden, those were Cowher's and Dungee's teams. But hey, what do I know, I am just a fan on a fan site.
