It's pretty clear the front office wasn't backing any kind of a rebuild in 2006 or 2007. 2008 on the other hand, was was not a Carl Peterson style offseason in any way, shape or form.

Trying to pretend there are positives when you're the joke of the league isn't a positive either.

Who said anything positive? All I said was that firing a coach midseason wasn't generally a good thing. What exactly would it do to make the team better?

Knee jerk reaction, that's all it would be. And it's not happening anyway. Herm wouldn't be here now if they hadn't intended from the outset to give him plenty of rope to hang himself with. They're not going to dump him after 3 or 4 games of a publicly acknowledged rebuild.

And saying that is not in any way supporting Herm, it's just facing reality.
