Guys who have been in the organization forever, and if anybody's played for that team...
or work for that team, you know these guys.
And Kevin Abrams, we talked a little bit yesterday, assistant GM for many, many years, part of a front office that won two Super Bowls.
He is out.
And then yesterday you find out that head athletic trainer, who also had multiple roles in the organization, very well-trusted individual, Ronnie Barnes, is out.
Do you think that some of the holdup that was going on and the working out of the contract with John Harbaugh had to do with his ability to fire guys or replace guys like Kevin Abrams and Ronnie Barnes?
100%.
Yeah.
Okay.
100%.
100%.
And guys that come in like John Harbaugh have been around a long time, so they know the way the league works.
And it's not that it has anything to do with that he has anything against these guys.
He just doesn't know these guys.
And when you are the head coach and you're trying to turn a franchise around, you want to have some of the key players around you be your guys.
So this happens all over the league, and we always see guys bouncing back.

Jeff Ulbricht got thrusted into something that, unfortunately, it was a fair fight for him.
So Rob Sala goes back out to San Francisco, and guess what?
