Hopefully Irsay wouldn't fire Reich simply because the fanbase was clamoring. Hopefully he had football reasons. And hopefully the same would apply to Ballard.

The ignorant mob wouldn’t be a factor if Ballard had results. He simply doesn’t. No I don’t want his decisions to be made based on fan pressure, that doesn’t change the fact I believe it’s where we are. I don’t think he should have moved to 1 and I don’t think he has to pick a QB at 4. But if he leaves the 2nd without a QB I think the writing is on the wall for him. He’d be better off taking one and missing than going down without ever taking a swing.
And I think fan sentiment played a huge role in Irsay’s decision on Reich. I didn’t say it was the only one though. Same will apply to Ballard. His on field results are enough to justify the decision (I’m not calling for it), but fan sentiment will likely be the deciding factor for Irsay.
