You can not attract top talent any longer, and your interview(s) are drying up. At some point you recognize that you either settle for someone not qualified or that maybe, just maybe, you have a toxic guy on your staff.

Ok Baalke. Go back to sabotaging the negotiations. Posting here won't help you.

Bro, I would take Caldwell at this point. At least he had some draft gems and stability in the franchise front office.

They all?  I think the league wide hatred for Baalke is probably over estimated.  He might be distrusted and disliked by some, maybe even many, but there are only 32 such jobs and way more candidates than that.  Also, I've found in my experience that true professional people make their own judgements on individuals versus what they hear about them ahead of time.
