What a load of horseshit. They didn't make rebuilding moves in the off-season, again. They clearly took shortcuts and tried to compete, like they've done every year.
Like if Benning told him it was a rebuilding year before signing those UFAs, it means that he completely cocked up the concept of rebuilding. And I'm saying this after Roussel/Beagle ended up being decent (if overpaid) additions.
Although it does embrace status quo, it only says one time that Benning did a decent job, and the praise to me is not effusive. IMO it definitely opens up the door to hiring a president who will basically neuter Benning.
I don't give a f*** what his meddling reputation is, is it more embarassing to be seen as a meddler when every single owner in pro sports meddles to some degree? Or to miss the playoffs and consistently finish at the bottom of the table season after season because you want to save face?
Benning/Weisbrod need to be let go ASAP. This entire front office shit the bed this year, there were so many amateur hour moments, and at the end of the day they barely managed to tread water. It would have been a more obvious disaster if the West wasn't so terrible this season.
