Some great thoughts.....
I just have to wonder if it is already toxic in the clubhouse. Hines could not wait to leave. Watching and listening to Ballard in the press conference, I am sorry to offend his followers, but he comes off a like a total arse....which is interesting given he hasn't accomplished a darn thing. If he thinks the media is tough in Indy, he has no business even thinking about taking a job in a larger market, especially on the east coast. I am not sure what Irsay sees in him. Polian could certainly act like an arse, but at least he had strong credentials with a proven track record of success everywhere he went. (Buffalo, Carolina and Indy) Ballard doesn't even seem to recognize that the formula for success in today's NFL is a QB and LT to protect said QB.
