I mean - basic logic and obvious context tells you that Baalke is accepting blame for bad free agent signings and Shad is accepting blame for believing Doug would correct whatever went wrong in the later half of 2023 - and that he and his new DC could improve the defense. 

Did you need them to make a list of mistakes for you to feel good about it? 

I can't believe the owner just humiliated the crap out of the GM on that Zoom with beat reporters and you lot are still all in on this silly "worm tongue" horse [BLEEP] like this is some soap opera or something. 

Trent had to sit there and listen to his boss say outright that he'd move on from him if a coach he liked could convince him it was a good idea TO BRING IN A DIFFERENT GM

LOL

AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HEARD THAT??

True but Shad was also being very stupid or deliberately so when he was asked about 'a clean slate' and took that as firing the medical department. 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.

My opinion: 

He was actually poking fun at the question by listing the obvious positions he doesn't need to terminate to appease fans - while simultaneously showing a tiny shred of courtesy to Baalke be NOT saying:
 "Hey, Eddie friggin' Morrow - the GM is on the damn hot seat here with a year left on his deal - I'm not renewing it - and I might send him packing in a few weeks depending on how these interviews go, so settle down"

Do we really believe he didn't understand the question referred to firing the GM and coach simultaneously?  
I think he simply played it cool because the guy everyone is trying to tar and feather was literally on the zoom call with him.
