Which if that's the case, it would just continue to show how clueless Khan is. Why even fire Caldwell in the first place if you're going to just keep his right hand man? Especially if he's pushing for Urban.. That's just proof he should have been sent packing the same day as Caldwell.

While a lot of people on here have been critical of Shad, I've never really had any complaints.  I don't have a problem with an owner (who has zero experience in the NFL at any capacity) being patient and being hands off letting the people he hired run the football operations. 

But if we really do settle on a guy like Baalke and sign a guy like Urban who realistically wouldnt be here for very long, I'd be pretty disappointed.  Would feel like a pretty lazy set of hires.  Especially Baalke.  It's almost as if they didn't try.  And Urban, you can make an argument for him.  Obviously been successful everywhere he has gone.   But too many negatives.  Health issues, always has tons of baggage wherever he goes, most likely wouldnt stick around very long.  Cynically my guess is he is a well named guy that could initially sell some interest and tickets.  Doesnt feel like a longterm, culture building type of hire.
