He just hasn't learned how to pick the right football people, but the selection of Doug makes me think he's turned a corner. He tried with Coughlin and Caldwell and Bradley...those were good attempts when he tried them and it didn't work out. He thought Urbz was a big time splash move and it bit him in the [BLEEP] when Meyer showed his lizard skin just a few weeks into the deal. I like him, he's giving us a really strong effort, but he's also learning when to make a quick move and when to be patient,. With Doug having two winning seasons I can see how it's tough to shake things up.

Edit: And I stongly think Baalke shouldn't be in charge.

That's fair. I just think if we continue to see leaks from reliable sources? He has to address it quickly. Baalke shouldn't be in charge. At the minimum, if he's content on keeping him in the building. He should open up his checkbook again and look for another Vice President of Football Operations. To toe the line with Baalke and Pederson and to ensure he's holding them all accountable.

I just kinda cringe at office gossip being relayed by an unaffiliated 3rd party on social media.  Do you think the FO is unaware of the Dilla account on X/Twitter?  I personally think they are aware of it considering it's existed for years, has broken some stories and has even had interaction with some national NFL news personalities.  

The FO may not be moved to action by or overly concerned with certain internal info that comes across that account, but if there are things that absolutely can't get out I would think they have to have an idea, if not the specific person who is the leaker, at the very least what department does the leaking and have the most confidential info buttoned up and out of view from such eyes.  I would think executive level power struggles would only wind up as office gossip amongst lower level employees prior to an actual shakeup would only occur on TV shows whose target audience is middle aged housewives.  Let's just wait and see man before we get engrossed in this "the Bold & the Beautiful" story line.
