His problem is his ability to manage talent on the roster and his coaching hire decisions. You can draft all the talented players you want, but if you don't get a coach who can utilize them correctly then it doesn't matter. He should have fired Bradley much earlier, he probably should have fired Marrone as well by this point.

The GM is ultimately responsible for EVERYTHING about the team's success (or lack thereof, in our case).

I disagree with his ability to assess talent.  Because part of the talent assessment is character.  If you bring in a bunch of low character, "talented" players, you get 36-76 over 8 years.  And equally as important to bringing in great players, is bringing in a competent coaching staff.  He has hired 2 head coaches and has missed both times.  If we do not get to 7 or 8 wins this season MINIMUM, he needs to be shown the door.
