Even aside from that, I can see Irsay wanting to do the presser on the weekend, just like he did his most recent presser on Saturday. Nice for the fans to watch. Not to mention, I know he likes to move slow and cautiously, but I don't think he's going to want to announce that close to the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masnerj Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Irsay, please please please, on the behalf of the most of the fans on here as well as myself: hire Ballard or Paton (prefer Ballard but reports suggesting that Paton killed the interview put him in the conversation as well). The morale of all the fans will exponentially increase, not to mention it will be even more interesting following the pre-draft and draft process with a defensively skilled GM. If you hire Raye, after all of those amazing candidates, this forum WILL blow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Which is why, if there is actually an announcement/decision by tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised it's Raye. But I agree with you on being kind of surprised if it's made by tomorrow, especially with how slow Irsay's moved so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defjamz26 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I have a feeling it's Ballard. Just like I knew a Irsay didn't keep the world in the dark for 3 weeks for nothing, I don't think he lined up all these interviews with top candidates just to stay in house. If Raye wowed him that much it would have been an immediate hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, to play the pessimistic cynical guy, Irsay knew all along he wanted Raye and wanted to make it look like a legitimate search. And delving even further into paranoid conspiracy, Irsay put his interview last to appear as if Raye blew him away and made it an easy decision. But I just can't see Irsay doing that, especially not with whatever advice Polian is giving him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just can't see Irsay doing that, especially not with whatever advice Polian is giving him. If Irsay continues his "consistency, continuity, time-space continuum theory" practices, he will definitely go with Raye. (and I'm not saying that's a bad thing), If he is getting good advice and thinking out of the box, he will at the very least, consider Ballard, Wolf, and Paton... twins from Seattle are out IMO. Further, if he has it down to let's say 3 people, I would say they are Ballard, Paton & Raye. Of those 3 I would guess that Ballard has gotten the most compliments from "positive people-speak" around the league, so now were down to Ballard and Raye. I think those are the two he will "ruminate" on over the weekend (SUPERMAN gets the word of the day for RUMINATE). No, it's not an exceptionally long complex looking word, but it HAS to be the word of the day....bravo !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
