My job is entirely based upon data analysis and I totally get his approach, and if he has specific examples to take to Shad of where his method would have resulted in a different move with notably better results, then he's earned a bigger role. Maybe not GM, but certainly a position where his work is given far more credit than it was under Coughlin. It's all about results, and if you can prove that your work would have led to better results, then you should be put into a position where your work carries more weight.

I think Khan knows what he's doing. I also think he knows where he wants the team to be in five years, in more than one sense of the word.
