O'Brien has in fact said the opposite. Remember his rant in training camp?
He's probably had this same 4-5 year window since he hired. Problem now is his rookie QB better produce by year 2 (i.e. 2017!!) rather than be entering 2016 with a rookie of his choosing going into his third year.
O'Brien has a better chance resetting his hot seat clock with a new GM, thereby placing the blame on the talent selection. It'd be a good play since he took the crap inherited from Kubiak to go 9-7 with four different QBs.

I'm not crafty enough to do your quotes like that. That's nifty.
I said that if he doesn't win, his seat will start getting hot 2 years after QB hitch. That's my opinion.
I don't put alot of stock into anything he says to the media. What's he supposed so say? "I'm not a real big fan of either of these guys, but its the best of the scrap heap so we'll see what happens."
Don't see a new GM being an issue, in either direction. If Smith gets canned, O'Brien is just as likely to get more power than we are to get a decent GM.
