Default Ballard vs Grigson - Change of Culture

http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news...medium=twitter

Quote:
From an on-field production standpoint, it will take years to truly grade how well Chris Ballard did running his first NFL Draft.

But in every other way, Ballard already has earned an A-plus.

The selection process provided another glimpse of the newfound unity inside Indianapolis Colts headquarters — something that was sorely missing when Ballard’s predecessor Ryan Grigson was paired with coach Chuck Pagano.

That was a very good read. Ballard comes across as a real professional, he was on the Herd yesterday and was a breath of fresh air. He appears to know what the hell he is doing, unlike Griggs and Pags. Not that it matters much, but Colin Cowherd, who is a big Luck supporter, is really impressed with Ballard. Pags better improve or I believe his ass will be gone soon, Ballard is not shy when it comes to canning incompetent asses.

Sounds like Ballard is getting along just fine with Pagano. Could be fluff, but a GM relying heavily on coordinator input to bring players in doesn't seem like a guy who's ready to clear the building.

Seems like he was told to give pags a one year tryout by irsay. Seems like ballard is a no-shit straight laced guy. He is doing what he said and will evaluate pags at the end of the year. He relied on the whole colts staff and his own opinions on the draft and its not like the guys drafted are reaches that pags talked him into.

pags will F it up with inept coaching and ballard will bring in his guy from KC.

Grigson's fatal flaw is that he never had a real vision for what this team should be. If Ballard can bring one thing to the mix, vision is the thing.

just wait until he sees pagano in action. he will clear the building

and every gm listens to the coordinators. of course he would. would be a failure not to. that is his fucking job

Pags is a dead man walking! He is one of the most incompetent head coaches I have ever seen.

I want Pags gone, but that seems pretty damn extreme.

"We’ve revamped the outside linebacker position. And I’ve made this clear — we will always look for rushers in the draft. You can never have enough."
Amen to that!
