He’s in a weird spot because I don’t think 8 wins gets you in the playoffs 2 years in a row. So he has to improve or he’s going to back track and depending how much he back tracks, he could be fired.
0-4 wins- likely fired before season over
4-7 wins- depends what happened, injuries, etc
7-9 wins -probably okay depending on how season ended. Losing a ton in November/December might get him fired.
10+ wins- no worries
