He knows what he gets from Baalke: mediocre drafts, torn ACLs, and the ire of the entire league and fanbase.

He's an idiot.

The case for change is obvious and easy.  Duh, any moron can make it as demonstrated here.

The better option is not so obvious and that is the challenge of someone wanting the coaching job.  If just anybody would be better than what we have now then UM would be a raging success.  Instead UM demonstrates it's really easy to [BLEEP] up these decisions.  Bevell/Balke serve up crap.  We know this.  Turns out you can turn over the club leadership and get even worse crap.  So you better be sure when you pick the new team otherwise just hang on to your current crew until a better option presents itself.
