As bad as it was - and I agree that it was too long - it still let everyone outside the organization know what kind of a guy Irsay was. All I'm saying is that if I'm Ballard and I was interviewing with multiple teams, I'd much prefer the team with the owner who has a history of letting his GMs stay too long, rather than too short

And to build on my McDaniels comments a little more - think about it: if the guy is interviewing with the Eagles, presumably he would take the job if offered. How could he possibly view today's Eagles as a preferable situation to the 2018 Colts? He can't. That's all you need to know.
