He was responsible for a lot of the great moves we made as well, including Marcus peters. He's the real deal and he's with the goddamn Colts.
I hate that he's in Indy and I hate that Clark did not make this move at the end of the season to promote Ballard if what was told to me was true.

This is where the other intel about Maclin and Dorsey wanting more money being the final straw for Clark doesn't make sense. Ballard DID seem to have a lot of cheerleaders out there. Surely Clark had some inkling of what Dorsey might want for salary going forward, and the Dorsey to GB rumor came out before Ballard went to Indy, right? When it looked like Ballard was going to interview with Indy Clark should have made the move then because most the complaints he is rumored to have had about Dorsey had already happened.
I'm blaming Clark here. He may have had a succession plan in place with Ballard, but he didn't bring the Dorsey thing to a head in time to actually use it. He waited until the succession plan had collapsed and then decided that he couldn't live a moment longer with Dorsey. Talk about a mis-managed situation.
