People around here complained endlessly about Carl Peterson's attempt to keep the ball rolling year after year even though it resulted in records at or around 9-7 more often than not, but Carl kept his job for 20 years and right now we're talking about canning Herm 1 year into his rebuild. The moral of this story is clear: If you can avoid it, don't risk a rebuild even if you think it would be good for the team a few years down the road because you probably won't be here to enjoy it.

Trust ownership?
This ownership stuck with the same man for 20 seasons to run this organization.
The moral of the story is this league is a production based business regardless of a rebuild. Herm has won 6 games out of 30. Sit back and think about those numbers for 2 seconds. 1 win out of every 5.
If this GM says he wants to go in another direction, it shouldn't be too hard of a sell to Clark considering just about every stat that matters points in the direction of Herm getting canned.
I'm tired of the word rebuilding too. It's rebuilding when your team sucks. Other teams win with completely overhauled rosters. What it comes down to is superior coaching.
