When Kahn first bought the team and hired Caldwell it was said a bazillion times that this will be a long process...It has been said a bazillion times, even as recently as Kahn's interview(s) in London, that we are still building the foundation of the future...It was said at the very beginning that it would be a few years before we would be competitive...At that time, it seemed everyone or mostly everyone was on board with that plan and most agreed that year 3 would be the tell tale year...

 

Now, even before the second year is over, the is a growing number of people who seem to have forgotten that they had supported the total rebuild of the team and the long process...

 

I understand the frustration, I understand the we need to win mentality, I also understand that a year and a half into a 4 year rebuild is too soon to abandon the plan...We have all been patient for a very long time, but we must continue to be so...

 

The only analogy I can think of is that a house is being built...The foundation is being built and the floor laid, and people are trying to move in already as if it's a finished project and want to start firing all the contractors because it's not finished when they knew it would take a long time to be completed...
