I very much like the idea of building a young team that can give us a solid foundation for the next decade. And I, for one, am willing to take the pain associated with that effort, Mr. Mecca. I've been very consistent about that.
But remember that Herm has also repeatedly said that this team/season has not met his expectations. You can't have it both ways - unless you're Herm, I suppose. Either you expected to be better or you didn't. Frankly, if he perceived that this kind of season was even a remote possibility (and remember also that Herm has said this was one possible outcome he predicted as far back as the off-season), he could have and should have made changes early on to forestall the problems the organization is facing.
As far as what could have been done, there are so many specific examples of changes he could have made and that were available to him before kickoff number one, I honestly don't want to list them all.
