The old car in your analogy would probably be the end of the Lloyd Carr-era teams that consistently underperformed, couldn't beat ohio state, and had trouble stopping spread teams (even with great players filling the defensive roster.) The RR era is more like trying to build a new car from scratch. Do I think the performance of the defense has been horrible? Yeah. Has the offense made significant improvements? Yes. Has their record improved every year? Yes. You have provided no evidence to the contrary other than 'this has to be the dumbest article I have read,' and a poorly constructed analogy. The pattern over the past three years suggests they will be better than 7-5, but you're right, they could be no better than 7-5 next year. Then fire him and find someone else. I honestly don't know whether they will be better than 7-5 next year, but I think it is worth it to stick with him and see if he incrementally improves like he has in the last 3 seasons.
