I don't understand why this concept is so alien to people. Regardless of what you thought at the beginning of the year, if you thought 4-8 would be great, 5-7, 6-6, 8-4, whatever, any threshold to be a "great" year has to be adjusted once you learn that the schedule wasn't nearly as hard as most people thought it would be.

I, like MANY people, thought that 6-6 would be decent, and 5-7 was a minimum to keep his job, but if I'd known the schedule was weaker than I thought, I would have said 7-5 was decent, 6-6 minimum, and 8-4 to be a good season.
