First off, it's obvious that Carl is losing the power over football operations that he had in the past. This draft was all Herm and Kuharich, and no surprise it was great.
I've never been on the "Fire Herm" bandwagon that so many are here at CP. We had the second-oldest team in the league last year and an extreme lack of talent - it's no surprise we were horrible. After the trade of Allen and this fantastic draft, along with Herm's comments about getting younger, it's apparent that we are finally doing the right thing and going with a full rebuilding effort.
When done the right way, a rebuild can turn a franchise into a perennial contender, but it will also take more than one offseason. In all likelihood, we are going to be horrible next year and win between 3-6 games. But the important thing is that we play the youngsters and see some real growth in this team. If that happens, then we should definitely keep Herm for the time being; if it doesn't, then it will be time to cut ties and bring in a new man.
