The difference between bad coasches and successful ones is the ability to get good players by drafting effectively and picking the right FA's to pay. That is what Scott was hired for. You have to know what you have first and that's what this season was about.
Going through a HC change after one year puts you back at zero.

Im willing to give him the same amount of time Herm was. 3 years MAX.
By the middle of the third season, you can tell if you have any shot at winning a championship with said coach.
2 is too little, as if Vermeil was fired after two years for KC or Stl, he would have been total fail in both places. If Coughlin was fired after two years in NY, they most likely wouldn't have won the superbowl.
4 is too long IMHO.
Hard line approaches take time to sink into a roster mentality... as Vermeil and Coughin showed for multiple teams, as have many others. Haleys will be no different.
If we dont start to see something start to come together next year, this question should be asked, but this early is very unfair IMHO.
