I think Khan is ready to clear house and really make a move for perennial dominance.  I'm not sure who I'd like as GM.  But Ben Johnson, Detriot's OC, should be top of the list for HC.

What you think is not based in reality though. What have you seen from Shad Kahn to believe otherwise?

Yeah, I hear ya.  It's hope.  But it's hope based on the fact that I think Shad is finally coming into his own as someone that has now had over a decade of Ownership experience.  I just got back from a long trip to Dallas, so I'm too tired right now to write as much as I usually do...

But I would say this...  I think Shad, in his first 5 years tried to revamp the franchise with his son.  They were both out of their depth.  The next 5 years, he realized he needed expertise and hired Coughlin to run things.  He got burned by that, and this last 5 years he's tried to keep stability with Baalke to try and remove any sort of chaos.

Compared to other owners, Shad is a young pup.  The decisions he's made after the first 5 years have been reasonable decisions.  He's not a trash owner like they have in NY, or Cincy, or AZ, or Carolina, or Cleveland.  He's made mistakes.  And yes, one of his mistakes was keeping Baalke too long.  But I'd rather have Shad as the owner than someone like Jerruh Jones or the others I mentioned.  

Shad is trying to find stability and a front office that can build a winning culture.  I think/hope that he's finally come to an understanding of what is needed in the NFL to really create a competent franchise.  The thing that people hate about Shad is his patience.  However, most owners that are succcessful are the ones that are patient and don't over react one way or the other.  His greatest flaw to you and others in the fan base can potentially be his greatest strength.

If he hires the right EVP this offseason (if not sooner) and get's rid of Baalke (ASAP), I am hopeful that this can be turned around.  But yes, I'm merely speculating.  But it's speculation based on the tendencies of the owner.
