That said, it will not surprise me to see Ballard retained for one more year and it will not surprise me to see Carley fire him.

As my son pointed out, it is a REALLY hard to be taken serious during an interview of a prospective new GM when you have to tell them, "oh, by the way, you do not have a 1st round draft pick in the next two drafts to start to reshape the team. Good luck!"

The roster showed that is was good...when we had a good QB running the offense. I could see Ballard being given one more year to reach the promised land...and I could see CIG pull the rug out from under him.

Let the off season commence.

I don't think the loss of 2 firsts is that much trouble when hiring a new GM. If they are hiring the last guy won zilch and stuck around for a decade. You will have enough job security to do the job and all GMs I assume have a healthy ego and believe they can turn a franchise around. There are no GM jobs available where there aren't issue with the franchise.
