Just heard a commercial clip of Mike Dempsey on 1010 posing questions he would ask along the lines of "Who is responsible for the DC hire?  What's the process? etc." in a flabbergasted manner.  My guess is the braintrust structure is intentionally vague to the public so that they don't have to answer to the media about everything.  That's kinda what you get after a clown out attempt.

Also, while listening it occurred to me how many 1010 regular personalities' voices grate on my nerves to varying degrees.  Balou? Trash.  Frangie?  Trash.   Mia? Trash.  Hacker's voice is annoying, but I actually don't mind him so much.  Hays Carlyon?  Trash.  Joe Cowart is ok.

FWIW 

I know I've posted this recently - but Jeff Lageman and John Oehser (who both get a check from the Jags) have both described the hierarchy as:

Khan at the top
Doug and Trent report individually to, and are accountable to Khan
They are mandated to work together on roster decisions and find solutions
(Ostensibly Dougs more trusted personnel staff and head scouts plus Dougs coaches all give input to steer disagreements toward a consensus - and this parenthetical is my addition)

While nothing was said about staff hires, the protocol league wide has always been that a HC hires his coaches with rare exceptions and we have no credible info to suggest that is not the case for the Jags current and incoming staff

Pretty good chance Trent confirms some version of this stuff tomorrow even if he doesn't go into great detail
