That was unique collection of individuals who worked well together and were very strong minded in their beliefs. Pagano and Grigson were strong minded pricks who were bull headed and couldn't work together. Ballard is strong minded and probably had more control than he should have, because of Reich's passive we can win with these guys philosophy. You can see that in the handling of 2 players last season. Reich was hands off on defense and Nick Cross was benched 1 1/2 games into the season. Reich ran the offense and continued to believe in Pryor at two different positions that he failed miserably at for 9 straight games. Ballard and Reich just did not form a good team. That's nothing against either one of them. It just wasn't working and because we didn't have other coaches the caliber of our 2000's teams and a Peyton Manning, it was never going to work. |
