I agree that Ballard played it the right way. I had concerns; I was wrong. A glass half full attitude can be a powerful thing.
What's the threshold for these dudes keeping their jobs? Is a wild card berth sufficient? Does it need to be a division title and home playoff game? Does it need to be 1 playoff game victory? Does it need to be a deep run?
Given the history of this organization the last decade, combined with Jones' full history in addition with his half season last year, what's the most likely outcome for the Indianapolis Colts?
Ballard's strategy here appears to have been sound but I can't even start to think about another cycle of 3-4 years with that guy until something changes in a meaningful way. IMO he only has 1 year to accomplish that, with a QB that historically is questionable and has genuine durability issues.
