Shad does not like firing people. Plain and simple. Not sure if he takes it as a personal admission of failure, or if he wants to be liked by everyone (how's that working for ya, Shahid?), but in almost every instance the action is done later than sooner, and usually damage has already been done (TC, Urbz, Marrone, Caldwell, all of em.)

make that "desperation"
Shad having his own "Nobody wants to work" moment.
An HC job (1 of 32 in the league and 1 of only 6 openings this offseason) pays very well and is the top of a career ladder for most if not all of the candidates interviewed. How or why is it that nobody is willing to take your opening, specifically?

You don't get to be a billionaire by being this oblivious.

Perhaps designing bumpers for autos is easier than running a football team. Khan is an Industrial Engineer, so he's got a good idea of how to design and streamline processes for maximum efficiency and lowest cost. Problem is, a football team doesnt run quite like that. And if he's a typical engineer (as I am), then a lot of his mentality may be "if you want something right, you'll have to do it yourself". They arent usually very good delegators. Which is kind of unfathomable considering he probably has dozens of people reporting to him. Maybe all yes men/women. Factor in the ego and you have a terrible mix that is producing a terrible product.
