Also just speculating, but Irsay probably wanted some real answers as to why the highest paid OL in the league that he was paying for was performing as the worst in the league. When Reich and Ballard couldn't supply him with any real answer other than trying to blow the same smoke up his ass they had been giving the public (OL really isn't that bad and getting better BS), he eventually grew tired of it and decided to bring in someone from the outside who could give him a real answer.

If Reich lost the team Saturday sure as fuck hasn’t found it. The problem was the same as it is every year - expected dependence on rookies and bottom basement vets at critical positions. It’s happens every year under Ballard. Throw in everyone adjusting to a new QB again. The early season ends up being treated as tryouts while the team searches for combinations or enough rookie development to work. Reich hadn’t lost the team at 3-3-1, Irsay bowed down to fans screaming for Ehlinger and then when that didn’t work he finally gave in to the fans scapegoating Reich. Now they are even worse off.
