More details may come forward on Tuesday morning, but it appears that Ballard will not only return as general manager, but be in charge of selecting the head coach he works with (which probably isn’t encouraging news for interim head coach Jeff Saturday’s chances, who Ballard reportedly never wanted to have hired as head coach near midseason in the first place).
