Not bad. I wonder how much final say he actually has.

Really like this hire. With a franchise QB already in place, I expect good things from them.

I miss Grigson already. Good get for the Colts.

I'm sure they'll focus on defense this offseason.

Good higher. Hard not to be an improvement over Grigson

i've never heard of this guy but he's an instant upgrade over grigson. i know so because his name isn't grigson

Ballard reportedly wanted to fire Pagano and bring his his own HC, that's just gonna cause friction between Ballard and pagano. Plus I'm skeptical of whether Irsay made this hire while sober.

Great hire. Ballard was a finalist for the Bears GM job a couple years back. He's a long time scout that worked for both the Bears and Chiefs. He was instrumental in building that great Bears defense of the mid 2000's and has worked under a good team in KC the past few years with Dorsey running the show. I'm sure the Colts are in good hands.

Only question now is will Pagano be let go? I think it's inevitable that Dave Toub is named the new HC so why not just do it now? I always dislike when a new GM is paired with a current head coach.

Great hire for my Colts. Seems like he'll be keeping Pagano around as well so that's good.
