I wonder if he'll hire anyone to help out. I'd like to see some an extension or 2 and contract restructures but if he's the only guy, well, that's a problem.

Wolf on his own signed and drafted terrible athletes.

Any GM worth a damn can distinguish good from bad. Who is coaching or "system" is irrelevant.

I don’t know about that. Two thoughts: I doubt Mayo sat back and let Wolf pick every player without probably shooting down at least a couple he suggested. Wolf won’t ever throw him under the bus other than it leaking out there was some questions when it came to him and Mayo being on the same page.

Second, there’s a reason why new head coaches always want their own guy at GM, specifically for things like having a guy they’re on the same page with and understands exactly what they’re trying to do.

I doubt this, it was clear that the brass in the front office not only chose the players but also decided who played… we saw that in realtime with Drake Maye and forcing other rookies into the lineup despite them not standing out at practice.

Mayo was being held by the hand with one of the largest front office and coaching staffs in the league. He couldn’t determine which way the wind was blowing, there’s no way he had final say on personnel. I think he just showed up to coach.
