Now this is interesting.  He drafts heavily into players he recruited and then as soon as the draft is done he dumps the entire scouting organisation.  It seems pretty certain that the scouting team was not feeding into his plan the way he wanted.  And I guess it would have been too disruptive to dump them before the draft (and even a stopped clock is right twice a day so keep them around through the draft in case they hit a home run).

I wonder if he starts picking the college scouting ranks apart.

Actually this sort of thing is common with new administrations/management structures.  They can't fire the scouts as soon as they arrive, because they have all of the information regarding the upcoming draft prospects.  If they fired them at the time, they'd be drafting blind.  They wait until after the draft them cut them loose. 

Not necessarily a UM thing.

More like Baalke wanting to get his guys in there.
