And I feel like that's what it has become right now.
And we're so afraid, dude, of that rebuilt work that we're doing anything in our power so that we don't have to look like that or look like we're doing that.
Now, again, if you go back to when Coward was hired and you look at
We did a rebuild, but they didn't call it a rebuild.
So from 98 to 2000, we had consecutive losing seasons.
97 was the last season we had that was a winning season until 2001, okay?
And between that, those seasons, it was an internal rebuild by Bill, okay?
And Mr. Rooney saw that.
And in 2000, when everybody was calling for Mr. Rooney to get rid of Bill, he said no, because he saw the vision.
And in 2001, they ended up going 13 and three.
Okay.
Okay.
And that process from 97, where they had a winning record, until their next winning record in 2000, the starting offense only had three players that was on that roster from 97 to 2001 when they had their next one.
And then the defense only had two players.
So that was an internal rebuild, but they didn't say it out loud as a rebuild, okay?
And that's what he did.
That's what Coach Tomlin, I mean, sorry, that's what Coach Coward did in those years between that 98 to 2000 timeframe.
Okay, now in that same process, they changed coaches.
You look at 1995, Dick LeBeau was the DC in 95 and 96.
Then he went to Cincinnati and he was a head coach.
