The closest situation I can think of is Bugel's last season. We disapppointed early, but finished strong at 7-9. Bidwill canned him anyhow because he made a silly 8-8 ultimatum.
Mike Bidwill, on a preseason show, when asked about what record would get Green back if they didn't make playoffs specifically brought up that situation and said that was a mistake that would NOT be repeated.
That was in Bugels 4th year as HC. If you can't do it in 4 yrs, you deserve to be fired IMO. This is Denny's 3rd season. I think we will be hard pressed to fire Denny if the team continues to play well.
