Yes, this is very common in workplaces. I think it is very understandable that you would want your head coach and GM to be on the same page for the direction of the franchise. It usually doesn't work too well if they are not. Leading to a coach being fired and then the search for the right fit takes place once again and if we know anything from a lot of the other franchises, those searches can take a long, long time. To the post about his arrogance. We praise him when he is arrogant about the Packers and how this franchise should be viewed but we want to tear him down if he has the same arrogance about his coaching abilities. It doesn't make too much sense to me. You think Belichek isn't arrogant? How about any of the other great head coaches of our time? The same goes for just about any great player. Rodgers is as arrogant as they come. Favre, same. Brady... you bet. It's apart of the DNA that goes with the territory of these positions. Some of it is the reason these people have ever got to the positions they have and had success while doing it.
