Yes, he went 9-7 last year, but here's who they beat:

Jax (twice) (3-13)
Oak (3-13)
Us (4-12)
Cleveland (7-9)
Buffalo (9-7)
Baltimore (10-6)

So six of the wins came against teams with double digit losses and only one was against a team with double digit wins. Yes, a win is a win, but that looks like a pretty padded schedule to me.

He may end up living to his rep, but I am unimpressed to date.
Don't leave out the part where he did this in his first year with a previously 2-14 team and without a good QB.

That team had a lot more talent than what the 2-14 record would dictate.

True. However, they still had Foster, Johnson and Watt.

And the two years prior to the collapse they were 12-4 and 10-6.

9-7 with 4 wins coming against 2 teams that five wins between them. I would bet that, in almost any other division, they would have ended with a losing record.
