What we’re scoring
Earlier first-opening forecast restores the existing next-GM key. The next-role record contradicts the immediate first-opening claim; this is not a claim that he can never become GM later.
The ruling
Douglas next position after leaving the Jets was Eagles senior personnel director/advisor to the general manager in 2025, rather than general manager. Other clubs filled general manager openings in the 2025 hiring cycle.

Retain the objectively identifiable job-acquisition event without inventing a time horizon. Qualitative success and Saleh being real good are not independently scored.

Down the road supplies no expiration date. The prediction cannot be scored incorrect merely because a job has not yet been obtained. The displayed date is a review checkpoint, not a settlement deadline.

The title and preceding author sentence identify Douglas as a GM and another shot as the same role. Reconcile to this January original without changing the existing unscored status or inventing an appointment deadline.

This earlier expectation follows a reported Falcons interview, but the source supplies no deadline for another GM appointment. It remains unscored; an interview itself is not a hiring outcome.
