Do you think that might have played a role in Caldwell's early losses?

Obviously was meant as a joke.  Gene Smith was the worst GM in the history of professional sports.

But what is not a joke is Caldwell is not much better.  I could care less about how many or few Pro Bowlers we have had.  That is not a GM's job... his job is to get WINS.  And Caldwell's W-L record cannot be defended.

A GM's job is to put the coaching staff in a position to get wins. Now this may seem like nitpicking, but it brings up an interesting question.

I said it before, I'll say it again, I don't really care if Caldwell gets fired. All I'm saying is that he's not God awful as a GM. It's much more complicated than that. You may not think it matters, fair enough. It'll be easier to do worse than Caldwell than it will be to do better. And i'll elaborate on that point to say that it's not an excuse not to try to do better.. but really who are we trusting to make that hire? Either way, he's likely getting next year too so brace yourself. I'd be surprised if Khan cleans house this season, maybe if we lose out completely, which is possible. We'll see.
