Take a look below, we have not been a winning team.
2000 8 - 8
2001 8 - 8
2002 7 - 9
2003 5 - 11
2004 6 - 10
2005 10 - 6
2006 5 - 11
2007 9 - 7
2008 8 - 8

Well when I talked about rebuilding I was thinking more about the team since 2004 when Gibbs came back. Although since 2000, we've only had four losing seasons, three .500, and only two winning seasons. We have been sort stuck in a mediocre middle.
When Gibbs was brought in 2004, he was expected to win right away, and as I mentioned, Gibbs was not the type to develop young players. Since 2005 we've seen moderate success, but not enough to get the team to the next level. Honestly, last offseason there should have been a sense of rebuilding after Gibbs left. If we want to start rebuilding this year, the question is whether the fans or the team would allow Zorn to have another 8-8 or worst year.
