You’re making my argument for me.
I’m just telling you what Erickson said he has heard from around the league. Take it up with him.

The bottom line, there was an overflowing book of evidence that Frank Reich was not any good at being a head football coach in the NFL. He couldn't get a win against the worst team in the NFL in a gimmee game to get into the playoffs. He allowed Matt Pryor to man the LT spot during the pre-season and several other games this year. His team was averaging 16 ptpg in modern era NFL. He SUCKED, and he needed to go! Can't understand the continued attempts to prop him up as something more than he was, he was a bad HC.
That said, there is NO reason his boss should still be employed either. He perhaps sucks even worse! He hired essentially ALL the guys that sucked at football, and in some cases he gave them raises.
This team, the team he built, gave up the biggest comeback in NFL history and the worst 4th Qtr collapse in NFL history- in a 3 week span! We just lost to the worst team in the NFL, that was trying to lose!
IMO Ballard has to be on his knees thanking God for Jeff Saturday. I think he is here because Irsay wants Saturday to coach and any other self respecting GM would say hell no to that, therefore basically Ballard has a job that requires:
- Watching film of players for a couple hours
- Hitting the gym
- Getting his hair done
- Having a press conference twice a year
- Never having to provide his boss with a "Jim, let me try to explain moment"
Ballard has to LOVE life right now!
This team is fucked!
