Just an unprecedented and horrible string of bad decisions when hiring managers and coaches. 
I'm hoping just plain 'ol probability may finally come to reckon in our favor this time.
I mean - it's not possible to endlessly hire the wring people is it? LOL

Exactly. Shad continually makes bad decisions. He makes bad hires and then keeps bad hires too long. Firing Meyer was a good decision, but even then he kept Baalke, a living, breathing disaster. Now it appears they're telling HC candidates that they'll dump Baalke after the season . . . why? Why not just fire him if they want to present a more favorable job opportunity for prospective HCs and GMs?

Just another bad Shad decision.

One reason I can think of is that we need Baalke because there are so many roster moves that have to be made right now with Covid and all that.  The roster is pretty chaotic right now, with guys coming and going due to Covid.  

Another reason might be that he doesn't want to look like he's firing Baalke because of the fan reaction, so if he fires Baalke at the end of the season, he can plausibly say he intended to fire him all along, he was just waiting for the end of the season. 

Besides, the end of the season is only 8 days away.
