Everyone knows what a clean slate means and I don't personally think he meant if a HC came in and said they couldn't work with Baalke then he's fired. He said they'd talk through why they felt that way and I think he was talking about better ideas as in terms of behind the scenes people.

Khan isn't [BLEEP], I think he knew exactly what people were asking clean slated , he was just playing dumb because he knew it meant Baalke and Baalke was on the call.  Khan knows people want Baalke gone.

But this is what makes the whole thing come off so ridiculous. He's keeping Baalke, Baalke will be a consultant in the HC hire. The HC will report to Shad like Baalke will. That sounds pretty much what Baalkes job has always been so he's not lost any responsibilities or seen his role diminished from this season.

But if the new HC doesn't want him then he's gone. Does that mean we're after a new GM? Hiring whoever the HC wants? Is Shad making any decisions by his ideas? 

I know I'm probably overthinking it but it just feels once again we have to do it our own special way whereas the rest of the league does it the same way.
