I think that's a good point. It would be hard to challenge the legitimacy of choosing a candidate with 10 years of GM experience over another candidate with no GM experience. But who knows? Maybe Khan interviews Adrian Wilson or some other candidate, and they decide to go with a different candidate than Spielman. That's certainly possible as well. 

I just want to make sure there's someone over Baalke.

There could be some pressure on minority candidates to not go through sham interviews.  From organizations like the Fritz Pollard alliance, for example.
