Definition of insanity.....doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. Let's face it until we have different leadership we are certain to see more stupid penalties, missed tackles, poor decision making on special teams, bad clock management, failure to game plan around the talent you have available (we just do what we do.....chop chop), slow in game adjustments, slow talent adjustments based on performance (TTich, Tolzein, etc, etc......). Just slow, uninspired, mediocrity at every level.....insanity.
That said, I firmly believe Ballard had no part in retaining Pagano and I firmly believe that even if Luck straps this coaching staff on his back like he did seasons 1-3 and hauls them to a playoff appearance that won't save Pagano. I heard him say in an interview on DD several months ago that how well he develops the young guys is how Pagano will be evaluated.
Until then, well......keep chopping wood. Insanity.
