At 0-4, our season is pretty much over as far as playoff hopes. If I were Shad, I would have been tempted to fire Baalke and Pedersen after the loss to the Texans. After thinking about it however, what's the point? He might just as well keep the staff assembled through this home game against the Clots (which we SHOULD win), and then let them take the team over to London for two weeks, too, because they are used to traveling over there, and they have had success doing so in the recent past.

If the losing streak continues through those three games, it would be tempting to fire the GM and HC after that, but looking at our remaining schedule, it's probably not going to get much better. Might as well ride out the season with them at that point, and enjoy some nice high draft picks.

At the end of the season, that's when I'd clean house of Baalke and the entire coaching staff. Hire Rick Spielman to be the new GM, and let him assemble a new coaching staff for next year and work with them to make the draft picks.
