He may have told him something like "Look, I know you want Pagano gone, but I have too much money to pay him this year on his contract even if I fire him, plus paying the new coach. I would prefer a year to see what he can do with you."

Irsay should just take the hit and let Ballard bring in who he wants at HC, but he isn't. I was hoping Polian would advise him to fire Pagano too. This sucks.

When Ballard sees the team get off to slow starts every game, non-existent game planes, dumb ass fake punt formations, etc. Ballard will ask Irsay why the fuck did you make me keep this clown? Can I fire him now?!
