The Jags should really consider filming "back stage" interactions WWE style.  People would lap it up.  I want to see draft war room chairs fly and tables get flipped and angry stares coming from Doug and Trent at each other with heavy mouth breathing.

Jags twitter is less than a step away from this ^ sadly

It's like the old comments section under the O-Zone posts circa 2014

It's just funny to me what people will allow themselves to believe from unverified sources and the conclusions they'll reach from that or partial information in general.  I guess unsurprisingly we haven't evolved much as a species in 300+ years.  I think in large part for some it has to do with believing the current rumors somehow validates their prior negative opinion about Baalke, which was quelled somewhat during the '22 late season run.  I would add that the foundation for the prior negative opinion of Baalke was made up of a house of cards of other fan interpretations and opinions about what happened in SF combined with a very upset fan base here given Meyer's tumultuous tenure. 

There will be differences of opinion on roster construction and perhaps at times staffing or other matters between Trent and Doug.  That would be the whole point for having 2 or more people make such decisions rather than just 1.  A healthy braintrust invites dissent and hashes that stuff out, but we're led to believe (by an apparent echo chamber) that Doug had Trent in a choke hold a moment ago, and Trent just somehow picked him up off the ground and suplexed him.  That's how it's figuratively getting hashed out in the minds of some apparently.

It's highly likely Doug's ouster in Philly was a topic of discussion during his interview process here.  It's highly likely Doug expressed his concerns for walking into a similar structure and scenario.  You have to be willing to believe that Khan is a bumbling idiot to then either create or allow such a scenario to be created for his HC 2 years later after having been embarrassed by Meyer.  I don't believe that a self-made billionaire is a bumbling idiot and I'd find it equally hard to believe that such a scenario is materializing here for Doug.   If nothing comes of this (and it probably won't at this point), some of you should start taking those unverified opinion based tweets with a huge grain of salt from now on.
