We can only hope. This is Ballard's first true test as GM.

No doubt. Obviously, Irsay insisted on keeping Pags. The question is, WHY? WTF is he smoking?

I've got a bad feeling we're stuck with Pagano for one more miserable year.

Why would someone of Ballard's supposed caliber agree to it?

If we keep Pagano why? Clock management (for the life of me, I don't get why this is so difficult) and the crappy starts to games drive me crazy. Maybe Pagano isn't responsible for that, but if not him then who? On the other hand, it is difficult to evaluate a coach who has to coach such lousy players as Grigson gave him. T Rich, B Werner were not crappy players because of coaching. I have to think that the play of the offensive line the last quarter of the year had something to do with this. Irsay loves continuity and may not want to bring on a new system for these young players to learn. I can't put a lot of blame for the defense on Pagano. He had no players worth a damn (I know, there are a few). At least Grigson is gone. If Ballard can get us some ballers then maybe we can evaluate Pagano more fairly. It gives me some hope that Belichick was 41-55 his first six years and won one playoff game. At least I have some hope, something I had zero of 2 weeks ago.

Maybe he figured it was worth it to get a job with a franchise qb already in place. That's by far the hardest part to find. He figures, I can ride Pags one more year and if he fails, it won't be held against me. Then I can get rid of him and get my own guy.

Sucks for us as fans but I can see why Ballard would do it.

I wonder if they think its too late to put together the staff they would want.

I think that irsay feels he owes it to pagano for some reason which is stupid.
