This might give you a take on rushing to judgement .

"When Parcells took over in 1983, the New York Giants were a team that had posted just one winning season in the previous ten years. In his first year, he made a controversial decision to bench Phil Simms in favor of Scott Brunner. The result was a disastrous 3–12–1 season during which the Giants surreptitiously offered Parcells' job to University of Miami head coach Howard Schnellenberger after a week 14 loss; however, Schnellenberger declined, and Parcells remained as head coach.[22]"

........so how do you think it turned out ?
