She seems like she has a level head and understands her role in the organization - sign the checks, provide tools to succeed and act as an arbitrator in the event of disconnect between various silos in the organization. Owners who empower their people to do their jobs with autonomy, provide the tools so they can do their jobs effectively and give input only to eliminate empasses are ideal owners - not just in football, but pretty much everywhere. Too much engagement in the organization and you have Dan Snyder. Too little engagement in the organization and you have Martha Ford. Key thing is to find a balance and moderate said balance regularly. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess what comes before experience, opportunity. You’ll never know how great someone is/can be without giving them a chance. Every successful person started out inexperienced, some grew to be great and others didn’t but each time a chance was provided. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dll2000 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 If Trent Baalke brought Leftwich in to interview and Leftwich then in turn demanded he be fired that is some cold poop right there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Baalke known to be abrasive? Like I know that you don't have to be likable, but if people actively don't want to work for you, its bad for business.

I just thought it would be a weird scenario if Baalke recommended Leftwich and Leftwich then demanded he be fired. I have no idea if that is what happened.

Would definitely be interesting to see/hear some details on if that was the case, but I imagine that just because someone interviews them, doesn't mean they were recommended.

Baalke by all accounts is a horrible GM not just because he sucks at the main function of the job (draft and FA signing), but also because he is a toxic schmuck. Edited January 28, 2022 by biggie.
