Ballard and Steichen are coming back

[Kray007]

Obviously, Irsay has a higher regard for Ballard and Steichen than do a lot of fans. Ultimately, I think he didn’t have much choice. You don’t want to hire a new GM and stick him with a QB and head coach he didn’t pick.

Next year is a make or break season. A repeat performance will cause heads to roll. If that happens, the new GM simply has to be sure that Jim Irsay is willing to open his wallet and do more than nibble at the scraps of free agency.
