One great year, one horrible year. If you look at his body of work including college he's good. I'd give him another year, try and get him some bodies that can push.

Replacing the DC every year is the worst option. They seldom get in the playoffs their first attempt, something like 20% chance on a new team. He was the exception last year.

Call it a cop out or what not for the way this year has unfolded at 7-9 or 6-10 if you like, but losing TWO 2nd Round draft picks or having the option of trading those picks for veterans with leadership qualities and most importantly breaking the continuity of leadership Sean Payton had between 2011 & 2013 showed up in 2014....
