Chris Ballard Expected To Return In 2023
2 years agoIndianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said "of course" he expects general manager Chris Ballard to return in 2023. Irsay called Ballard "a winner." Irsay also said last week that head coach Frank Reich's job was safe, but he went back on that and fired him on Monday after a 26-3 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 9. Ballard has been leading the Colts for six seasons, but he has failed to win at the quarterback position since Andrew Luck abruptly retired in 2019. Former center Jeff Saturday will take over as the interim head coach for the Colts, while they'll continue to roll with quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who hasn't looked any better than veteran Matt Ryan did to open his first year in Indy.
