Like it or not, regardless of our opinions, this is most likely how Irsay views it:
The record has been reset. Ballard’s record is now 3-5 (still not good). This year is a rebuild especially with Richardson out and he has 2-3 years to get the team back into contention.
Irsay is patient to a fault. He’s going to wait it out and see if Chris can turn it around and learn from his mistakes. If he can’t, then a change will happen.
