Would it really shock anyone if Baalke and Shad gaslit us and said they were going to hire an EVP and asst GM to placate the fans and get their last ditch HC candidate to agree to being hired with no intention of actually doing it, while hoping that over the next weeks and months everyone lets the flames fade away? Wouldn't shock me in the slightest.

No, it would not and that's what i'm afraid of.

I certainly don't trust them to not consider it, but I'd hope the local and national media would hold them accountable for what they promised in Pederson's press conference. I'd also be surprised if Pederson would be a part of that. I think they had to make some promises to him about the front office to get him to take the job. But this foot dragging nonsense could result in Baalke have the unhampered ability to destroy another round of free agency before someone who knows what he's doing is actually hired and ready to work.
