Bennett got to a GF and played finals every year, if seibold bombs and we come in 10th do we still trust the system?
Yes.
If he bonds 2 years in a row, do we give him another chance?
It depends on the results and the form, game to game. If there is consistent, measurable improvement, combinations are building, the team is committed and leaving everything on the field, then yes. If not, then I'd agree they should reevaluate.
Bennett has been one of the best coaches ever , that's why you give him time. So should we give seibold the same luxury ?
Bennett was given time and didn't deliver. More than that, his team didn't noticeably improve over the last three seasons. They were inconsistent. They often had a poor attitude. And they rarely showed up when it mattered most. You might be happy with that. I wasn't. The board obviously wasn't. Just because he was great doesn't mean he's above criticism, and that he should have been allowed to continue indefinitely, not producing results. Old school Bennett certainly didn't subscribe to that policy himself, although recent Bennett has been a little more lenient in that regard.
But yes, we should allow Seibold the same 'luxury', time to build his own team and install his own culture and structure, and to actually prove whether or not it works.
