It's pretty much well believed that Herm demanded a rebuild and Carl Peterson wouldn't let him do it. Herm had to go above Peterson's head, and it's largely believed that Clark stripped Peterson of power and gave it to Herm/Kuharich.
The team got worse in the 3rd year because Herm took the necessary step to destroy the roster of worthless, expensive veterans and focus on developing a roster of young players. Let's not act like in the 3rd year, this was a team on the decline. That 3rd year was year 1 of a massive rebuild. Most teams can rebuild in 2-3 years. In Pioli's 4th year, it still looks a little suspect.
