Yes, I agree they should work in concert. I also have to believe that with what has already been done to him ala Saturday, that if Harbaugh were to come here, shit, man how could you not feel like you were just a token figure with no real influence and no perceived value? I know I would feel that way. So if it happens and he stays, would just seem to be a situation of not really caring and kinda liking the cush nature of the gig and thus sort of just tagging along for the perks.

fine. but the way you phrased in before stating "just proves to me he is a dude that is not really about anything other than ..." makes it sound like that's the way you already perceive ballard. I dont think that's the case. I think ballard thinks very highly of himself and his philosophy, but I also think that he is quite open to receiving input from his staff, coach, and irsay as seen in the draft videos they put out.

I would expect that if all decision making were removed from him then he would ask irsay to release him. you could see it in his face when saturday was introduced that he was not really on board, but ballard also knew it was just for an interim basis.
