I have no real problem with the hires because head coaches should hire whomever they want. It is their ass on the line if things fall apart. I am also glad we will be running the Shanahan style WCO with zone blocking etc.

What does bother me about the article and some of the comments is this "But if Mayfield likes Van Pelt as much as Rodgers did, the hire will be a success."

I don't care if Baker likes any of the coaches. Like has nothing to do with football. As long as Baker RESPECTS the staff and LISTENS to the staff liking them is irrelevant. They have to get along, obviously. But they don't have to be friends. In fact, it is probably better if they aren't. A friend may hesitate to tell Baker the truth. Something a coach needs to do. A friend may hesitate to chew out Baker for doing something stupid, a coach is different. He has to be.
