A couple of things. Not only did he say that he could fix Wentz, but he persuaded the team to ship a first and a third round draft pick to Philly in order to acquire the Quarterback who, even the most blind observer could see, was irretrievably broken. The following year, he was at it, again, getting Ballard to ante up a 3rd round pick for Matt Ryan.
Between those two bozo’s, Jim Irsay shelled out the better part of $60 Million in hard, cold cash.
In addition, for whatever reason, he didn’t seem able to recruit and retain a high quality coaching staff. When Eberflus and Siriani left, they took the cream of the coaching staff with them. At the end of the day,you have to ask yourself if you want a head coach who can’t attract a better offensive coordinator than Marcus Brady?
