Yes, the plan here was to still win now.
B) They didn't get O'Reilly, the team continued to lose games and fall in the standings, owners/management could no longer ignore the writing on the wall, and the long overdue rebuild began. Plan is no longer win now.
Not that complicated to me.

Obviously you didn't read my post and don't understand the point I'm trying to make either.
They DIDN'T fall in the standings. And they didn't get ROR.
Between then and now however they went into full rebuild.
The way it comes across they would have had a different approach had they of landed ROR then what they are doing now (full rebuld).
