This is the reason season ticket renewals start before the season ends. I wouldn’t have renewed mine. Fuck Chris Ballard and his shitty ass “next year” team.
I can’t wait to hear again how “he gets it”, “it’s all on” him, and how he “needs to do some things differently”. |

He wasn’t going to fire them. I keep trying to tell people. They are under contract for awhile. They had to lure Steichen here, he’s not going to fire him after the second year. Steichen needs to go back to RPO some, that long ball offense is just low efficiency and I’m not sure it protects him more.
But Irsay likes Ballard and the people he listens to and respect like Ballard notably Bill Polian who speaks highly of him on his show all the time. Notice Pat didn’t mention Ballard but did a lot of players. I don’t think he has forever, but I do think he will be able to see the AR experiment through. I also think Dodds might take over more responsibilities but we will see. |

Chris Ballard is the longest tenured non-multi role General Manager (i.e. not an owner, CEO, principal etc) since 1988 to have a losing record and not have multiple playoff wins or a conference championship appearance.
If he finishes out this year without a playoff win, ( he did) he will beat out Ladd Herzeg of the Houston Oilers as the longest tenured GM of any team in NFL history to fit that same criteria. |

The happiest team and fans right now are in Houston! We just handed them the division for the next 5 years!
I wonder if Carlie wrote this and signed Jim's name to it?

Yeah, as soon as I heard Mike Chappell say it, I knew they were coming back. Chappell is right the vast majority of the time.

They can’t also bring Gus back, right? Right?
Because I feel like this team might have been successful in spite of everything had they just had an AVERAGE defense. Instead they had one of the worst in the entire league and led the league in missed tackles. I’m not happy that Ballard is coming back but I will be LIVID if they try to bring Gus back. Hell, rehire Eberflus. |
