But I can't make a compelling case for patience for this regime.  Nothing they have done with the draft or on the field gives me any confidence fan patience will be rewarded.

Agree totally. I always try to see the glass half full, but there has just been nothing there to suggest that patience will be rewarded. There’s everything there to suggest that patience may result in continued mediocrity (that is being kind).

I'm also in total agreement.  I do think fans are often quick to want to fire coaches, but in this case, it is completely justified.  I see little reason to believe patience will be rewarded.  I also see a high chance that patience will not only set us back by a year, but maybe by two or three years.  We currently have a decent salary cap position and extra picks in the draft.  If Meyer/Baalke know that they must win now, they are going to sign a bunch of back-loaded free agent contracts.  They may trade away future draft picks.  Not only are we likely to lose a year, but may take another year or two or more to get out of the mess they could create.  They need to be gone by the end of the season.
