He wasn't trying to win a season, he was trying to build a team. He had to get buy in, had to get his players, had to get the organization on track and with his plan and Snyder's pockets it could have been amazing. His military style clashed with the defensive leaders, won him no favor in the locker room but given time likely would have produced results for most of this decade. Another coach that was initially hated but eventually saw the results of his program-Tom Coughlin.

Mark Schlereth once said that playing against Marty Schottenheimer coached teams were absolute battles; that the next day, the bumps and bruises were harder to deal with than the bumps and bruises that you got from playing other teams.
I still have no doubt that whatever happens with regard to Mark Sanchez, Dan Snyder could trade away this year's entire draft, plus next year's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and you'd still have the same old people eventually coming around to the defense of this front office no matter what they do.
