Unless this season is a total disastor (which it would be with say just 5 or 6 victories), I say give him some more time beyond this season.

Not wanting to start a new thread for this, your mention of the ZBS gives me a place to put it here. Alex Gibbs quit the Seahawks today and was replaced by one of Carrolls past USC OL coaches. Is this the sign that Carroll figured out that Gibbs stuff is outdated and past it's usefullness?
That asked, Dennison seems to have a much more expanded running game.
Also i want to add, there is two types of ZBS systems out there. Gibbs' way with light quick guys, utilizing cut blocks to get the backside guys on the ground. They are more a track team, and they would wear out the defense in the thin air of Denver, by running them sideline to sideline all day.
There is also what teams like Green Bay, Dallas, and the Eagles to name a few use. It is more a power zone scheme. It is what the Cowboys ran when they won the Super Bowl in the 90s.
