Well Treliving inherited mediocre, his most successful team was his first team led deep into the playoffs (by our standards) by the veteran efforts of Hudler, Wideman and Russell, along with contributions from young players like Johnny and Monahan. Since then we have been trying to get back to the second round but this year could be the year, the 7th year is often the breakthrough year.
The Jets did make the third round that one year but not much other than that.
