You can't bring in a guy to undertake a culture change as serious as this one but also think of him as a stop gap. That doesn't make any sense. Nobody was going to come in here and turn things around on a dime. It's a 3-5 year project. Dan has to give him a legit opportunity to right the ship otherwise we're back to square one. Gruden had almost 6 seasons here, why wouldn't Ron get a similar opportunity?

Add to that three consecutive division titles, three playoff wins, two-time NFL Coach of the Year...
From day one, this was going to be about a three year project. That much was communicated when RR took the job. Any conversation about him being gone after this year is ridiculous, and the notion that he just isn't a good coach is equally ridiculous in my opinion.
It's funny how impatient this fan base is considering how long it's been since the team has been relevant for more than a minute.
