I am in the middle about Dave Caldwell right now. And the reason being is that.

 

1. He completely destroyed this roster four years ago. He didn't just dismantle it. He essentially went Office Space demolition scene on this roster. He's had a few hits and a few misses. That's normal for most general managers. I think he's a capable man for the job. But I think he made a crucial mistake four years ago when he hired Bradley instead of Roman. And I can't remember if he couldn't sign Roman because he wanted to stay in San Francisco at the time or if it was because he felt better about Bradley.

 

2. I think overall our fan base knows what a bad general manager looks like. And how toxic it can be for a franchise. We suffered a great deal towards the end of James Harris' reign and it didn't improve at all under Gene Smith. Harris had an entire draft class in and out of the league within like a two - three year time span. Not a single player I think from his 2008 draft class is relevant in the NFL anymore. And Gene Smith, oddly enough, some of the players he brought here didn't pan out but went onto find success elsewhere. Most notably Rashard Jennings with the Giants and Zach Miller with the Bears.

 

But, depending on the rest of  the 2016 season shakes out. It's highly probable he's kicked out the door along with Bradley and the rest of the staff. And it's also highly likely that the next coaching staff and general manager will come in here and add onto something that could have an interesting legacy mixed with Caldwell's choices and the new regime's choices. I really do see this being a possibility. I just wish Khan would speak out and up already to let this fanbase know he truly cares.
