I haven't seen any evidence for or against that historically, so I suppose it may be possible. With Baalke in particular however he has already burned through two more coaches in two years (making 5 coaches in his last 5 years as GM). His first two FA periods and his first draft were absolutely godawful. This draft shows promise, but it's way too early to say for sure.

Overall, hell no his second stint as GM has not gone nearly well enough to say he has learned from his mistakes. He looks to be the exact same snake who sucks at his job and then throws everyone else under the bus when the heat gets turned up.
