To be honest I think describing someones performance as "fair" while admitting that he took risks that didn't work out is faint praise.
Ultimately he has one job... produce a winner with the resources he's allocated. If he can't do that on a reasonable timeline then he's not doing his job and the team has to look for someone who can.
And let's be honest... he hasn't been 100x better then JPR. I bet the teams won-lose percentage is probably pretty close between the two of them. He's more likeable to be sure, and he's different, but to be "better" I'd want to see another level of actual team success before declaring that. I'm in favor of giving him a mulligan on last year if the team is able to succeed this year or if he's able to leverage what he got last offseason into something approaching what he gave up and resume the internal rebuild he'd started... but he only get's one. If he forces himself into a position where he wastes those assets (or gets only pennies on the dollar) then he should be out IMO.
