Remove your personal feelings about the specific parties involved and pretend you own a business and have a high level position open.  You’ve interviewed several candidates and the top one has never done the job before but is telling you to fire someone in your building he doesn’t care for as a condition of his employment.  I think in most cases you’d tell that candidate to piss off.  NFL is different than most businesses, but the way you’d feel about that scenario probably doesn’t change regardless of the industry.

To add, Khan has to think that the situation here is good with having a franchise QB already on the roster, extra draft picks and plenty of cap space.  Why would you concede anything in negotiation to a first time head coach in such a situation?

Under normal circumstances, you absolutely tell the candidate, "No thanks" to firing someone as a requirement for their employment.  

Nothing normal about this though...  Literally thousands of people are telling Khan, whether he wants to hear it or not, that he needs to fire Baalke.  The only person against it is Snowy's dad.
He may well have knocked it out of the park for once with last year's draft, but he has simply been a large part of too much toxicity in the workplace for too long.  He needs to go.
