Yes Ohiogirl, that is true LOL!
But I think Lerner got it right this time! Keep in mind he inherited the team from his dad. Had his dad not passed away, I think that things would have gone in the right direction much sooner. I mean, when they hired Butch Davis, he took them from 3-13 in 00 to 7-9 in 01. They actually were in the play off hunt until they fell off in the end. In 02 they got in. In that same season Al Lerner passed away, and that is when I believe everything became unhinged. Randy was trying to get his feet wet as an owner, and in the meantime too many egos were in the mix.
I like what I hear from Mike Holmgren. He is speaking in absolutes, and it's a nice change from the circus atmosphere of late. I'm excited about the future of this team.
