people have such slanted views on Caldwell simply because they don't know what a good FO looks like relative to the rest of the league.

That's your opinion/observation and I respect that. The fact still remains that our playoff year (2017) was Tom's first year back w/the team. He made little to no personnel decisions that would reflect the team. The scouting reports were already in. What he did do was push key players such as I mentioned away w/his Old School ways of doing things and it dismantled the team that Caldwell built for the past four years. 

I feel that Caldwell will again build us an stellar team as long as he's making the final decisions to which Mr. Khan feels the same way.

Time Will Tell.

NH3...

your first paragraph is not actually based on any evidence. Tom most certainly did have his finger prints on the team year 1, numerous reports about that regarding draft/FA/philosophy/personnel decisions. 

And yes I don't think Tom did a good job either, in fact quite the opposite. But people love playing both sides of the Caldwell argument and excuse him for things went wrong but give him credit for the ones than went right. 

The reality is the team Caldwell and Tom "built", was not even slightly sustainable with massive holes on offense. So it's a myth that Caldwell built some powerhouse Tom tore down
