*Why I left Baltimore

[Memento Mori]

I feel like this is a major response that sums it all up. Difficult conversations suck to have, but they needed to be had at a time like this. It seemed from the beginning that the plan was to add in new outside GMs and nobody in the war room or outside of those in the hiring process were told of this which led to a major problem when a lot of the war room wanted to see Glims and Frazzle take the reigns. They were told to apply as if they had a shot but instead that time was wasted since they were never going to be hired in the first place. Had the process been up front and honest, even if difficult, then this could have been avoided to this extent. Everyone ended up in a big mess of miscommunication and rushed out for getting to new teams and the new GMs rushed to find trades that could benefit the future as fast as they could. Miscommunication all around ended up being a major factor in all of this and, regardless of who's to blame, just know to be upfront and have difficult conversations.

This is a good take on the situation. I think it would've been really hard for HO to justify hiring a relative continuity candidate after lots of recent player departures and the number of rookies who were put off playing for Baltimore. This wasn't communicated well to the war room, which led to hurt feelings, which seems to have played a part in a lot of the resulting fallout.
