re: Legit Question---Why is the front office afraid of a rebuild?

In hindsight the thing to do would have been to hire Allen, but then go to the media and the fans and say Allen was hired to offer stability to the franchise as we prepare to go through a rebuild.

You can't offer stability AND rebuild. Allen was hired to try to keep a good thing going. He offers zero stability if he isn't allowed to keep things (particularly on the defensive side) going as they were.

If a rebuild was the plan, they would have hired a coach from outside the organization and most likely someone like Doug Pedersen who has run a good team before.

Its fair to say why didn't they rebuild. But you have to realize that the hire of DA was specifically to try not to rebuild.
