Quote:He is likely assuming Caldwell gets canned after next season if we don't hit a certain amount of wins. I really don't see it. I don't think Khan is going to do the whole hire a coach then fire him the next year based on what he has done with Gus/what it would do to our franchise (make it less attractive, no one wants questions around their job security when they come here). If that's how Khan is viewing things, I feel pretty confident they'd just fire Caldwell now.

 

As far as I know, Caldwell is in his last year on his contract.  So if Khan hired another GM after the 2017 season and didn't let go of the coaching staff, the new GM would have to agree to a head coach and staff they had absolutely nothing to do with.  This means the most "logical" solution is to let go of Caldwell before the 2017 season, or extend him.  The problem is there is no superstar GM to sign, ever.  You are at best signing another David Caldwell who you somehow hope to be better than David Caldwell...
