He said in this week's presser he was open to hearing from coaching candidates about front office changes and when pressed about Trent being in the final year of his contract - he would not commit to renewing it. 

He also said:
"What Trent is doing and what I am doing is serving the HC to succeed"

Asked about EVP or other execs? 
"We need to add some people - we are lean - if we find the right guy - definitely. "

Are you claiming to know how many people are involved in his head coach search and who they are? 

You sound like you should know something about throwing [BLEEP] at the wall from personal experience.

Yeah no you're missing the point. What I am saying, is nobody knows what Shad is going to do. How many reporters said absolute [BLEEP] this week? Nothing was even remotely on point with Shad, and truly never has been in 13 years. NEVER has been. I don't know how much more evidence you need to know that at this point. At this point, that is an absolute fact. 

He was also asked who HAS he been consulting with, and that it was Trent/Ethan and to a degree Doug. Nobody else. Would he be open to others chiming it? Well he sure as [BLEEP] better be or is 64-148 career record is going to get a whole lot worse if it doesn't start being open minded. First thing he should do is consult someone else and ask what a clean slate means, because to Shad that means firing 85 people including the cooks and medical staff.

That remark bothered me. Good call out on the clean slate part. He's been in the NFL long enough to know what the hell that means. We see NFL teams doing this yearly. "So and so is out in X along with so and so". Usually you don't see a team fire the head chef and keep the same procurer of goods.

It's common sense really. In fairness to Khan. I think what can be said, is that, Baalke, for better or worse, he did bring some sense of stability to the franchise. He has been apart of two roster builds that did technically put the team (barely) over .500 in back to back seasons.

Unfortunately that may have been all it takes for Khan to see Baalke as legitimate and not the main problem here. I am still not entirely impressed with his roster building abilities. Especially with the money spent and the draft positions he had at his disposal. 

I'll say it now. If he fails to land three quality starters and at least one of those three starters actually being an immediate impact player? He [BLEEP] sucks and he should never get another chance at managing another franchise.

With picks 5, 41, 72, 94 & 108. He should be able to carve out more than one quality starter and land an immediate impact player.
