This "rebuild" business is a figment of the former era, where you were generally stuck with the evaluations you made of high school kids, for the next 4-5 years. It doesn't work that way anymore. And even back then, you had JUCOs, transfers who had to sit a year, and graduate transfers.
In this new era, there's simply no excuse for being horrible at any position. At minimum, you can fill out a roster with competent players. And I'm talking to get to 6-6 and competitiveness, not making the playoff. To make the playoff and similar, yeah, you need time to instill a culture. But that's not where we are - we have posters here saying Lebby needs 3 years to get to 6-6. That's the same BS folks were saying with Croom. It wasn't true then and it's not true now. Croom had the politics around him to sort of get people to believe the job was as big of a dumpster fire as he made it out to be.
Leach-haters WANT to believe it's a rebuild, to both try and prove themselves right, and have hope for a bad hire and administration. It's just not going to happen, we made 3 bad decisions and we're going to have to live with them (Arnett, Salmon, Lebbro). I just hope Jans and Lemonis can give us something to be proud of.
