It's that you choose to glean what you want from my posts rather than actually reading them. A lack of creativity and aggressiveness on offense was my biggest criticism of Pagano, and what I believe ultimately cost him his job. There was nothing to criticize on defense, he was never given the parts he needed and the little talent he was given made Pro Bowls. If you ask someone to build a house and don't provide lumber or concrete, you can't be surprised when the resulting structure isn't structurally sound.
Ballard clearly has a vision, though, and if that requires a different coach to implement, so be it. I want a front office that is going to impose a winning culture on the team by any means necessary. I just hope that Ballard recognizes the importance of investing heavily in defense, though the early returns on that front are at least encouraging.
