Something is not right with this organization. Either we have a very bad GM, a terrible head coach, or we have two guys that are very very pedestrian at what they do and together they aren't getting the job done. Neither Ballard nor Reich are difference makers in terms of an organization. Ballard is too bought in to his build by draft near exclusively mentality and Frank, well Frank seems to be way too invested in Frank's desire to provide reclamation than winning championships.
I have no desire to see either one of them continuing to be in charge of this organization, I see nothing from either one that tells me they are the entity that will put us over the top and I expect us to be about where we are right now so long as these two remain in their respective positions.

While we, the fans, are disappointed, its an over reaction to do a total reset.
1. There is a lot of talent on this team. 9 wins 7 pro bowlers.
2. The GM has a good track record, all of the present talent he has brought in.
3. Reich has been a winner as a player, and as a coach. He has been on a super Bowl team and 4 Super Bowls as a player. He has engineered 2 huge comebacks as a college player and a pro.
4. I think Jim Irsay is a great owner.
I think Irsay loves a challenge. If he chooses to stand pat and put a fire under some butts, I want to see what happens. You make steel with a hot fire under pressure
