34% winning percentage for Gene, 32% for Dave. Winning is all that matters.

For a GM, not necessarily, especially if (as the story goes) Caldwell hasn't actually been able to hire his own coach yet. Bradley was dumped on him by ownership and Marrone was all Coughlin. The GM's job is to provide talent, and Caldwell actually hasn't done a terrible job of it. I'm not saying he's the next Ozzie Newsome, but he's good enough that we don't need to dump him for the sake of dumping him. If a better option is willing to come here, by all means fire Caldwell, but don't just fire him without a plan to theoretically upgrade.
