This year you see what you have and, consequently, what you need, adopt a new way of doing things. 

This season could start out rough and if it does, a lot of people will get pissed and write Zac Taylor off.  But even if it starts out shaky, it will end well and by next year, we will be formidable.  Could even happen by the end of this year. 

That can't happen if you go for an unnecessary rebuild.

Obviously, this season we will get a good look at what the new staff can do with Marvin's crew. I think they will be better than last year. The problem that I have is that we have already seen the best of guys like AJ, Geno, and Dunlap and it wasn't enough to get us past the first round of the playoffs. We have less talent around them now and I don't see enough talent coming in via the draft and FA quickly enough to build a contender before those guys will need to be replaced. Had this coaching change happened after the 2015 disaster, I would feel a little better about the approach that you describe but at this point I fear that it is too late and that building around our declining stars will only yield a few more years of mediocrity before the bottom falls out and the rebuild becomes necessary.
