??????????? yesr 3, 4 and 5 have been failures IMO...
Judging the success of a coach's long-term premiership vision can't be done by the performance of any 1 season in isolation, no less by "winning a final" (an arbitrary measurement of success).
It's only about whether these early seasons lead to a premiership sometime in the near future. If we win a premiership, then every single season leading up to that premiership has served it's purpose! In hindsight they will be considered a successful part of the process in cultivating a premiership team
But if we don't win a flag... then every season was a failure.
Have to judge him according to the overall long-term plan over about 8 years IMO. If he fails, the next coach won't need as long because our list would be far more balanced by then.
