I've said this before, I doubt that Irsay outright dictated every stupid personnel decision that was made. But he damn sure laid out some options and told Reich and Ballard to choose one.

If I'm wrong I'll admit it when the evidence comes out. But for Irsay to dictate starting lineups, he would have to become his dad. So maybe that is the case, but I sure as hell hope not. Because if it is, the franchise is fucked for at least a decade.
No one, whether players or coaches or Ballard, wanted to bench Ryan for Sam. You won’t find a single one supporting the move. They didn’t outright say so because Irsay signs their checks, but there is no doubt from anyone I’ve seen that Jim was the sole reason behind benching Ryan for Ehlinger.

Keefer, Holder, Bowen, JMV, Wells, Kravitz, they all agree that it was Irsay behind that move. I haven’t seen anyone connected with the team that doesn’t think it was Jim. I don’t think there’s really any doubt about that anymore.

You can beat around the bush all you want but that’s Jim Irsay dictating the starting lineups. That’s just reality.
