I'm not convinced that this would be a lameduck year in which Ballard could just fire Pagano afterwards. We very possibly could go back to being 11-5 but seriously flawed and unfit to make it to the Super Bowl (2012-2014), and Pagano would survive based off of that.

Exactly. The talent level was high enough that it masked Pagano's coaching deficiencies some. The talent level going down revealed the truth, just as it was revealed how overmatched he is whenever we got into one of those blowouts like against the Rams a few years ago, or when we played the Pats in the playoffs.
