Colts Fire Chris Ballard as Leadership Questions Grow

Let's start with Indianapolis and what it means to you that the Colts today after six weeks of football has determined that the GM is the problem and thus Chris Ballard is out. This is normally step one of a multiple step process, but what's your reaction to the Colts firing Chris Ballard today? Shane Steichen should have been turning in his key card as well. Why? Why is he still around? Wait, you know, you're not carrying him after this year, right? if we're cleaning the house pull out the broom pull out the vacuum let's get all the dust bunnies out of here baby like why is he still around I I don't like you're not going to allow him to go into 2027 you're not going to allow him to draft another quarterback I mean Peralta we weren't alone in thinking that it was a bad idea going into a make or break season for a GM and a head coach that you were depending upon a quarterback coming off in an Achilles uh tear you are depending upon a wide receiver coming off a heel surgery who needed even more time and there's basically nothing behind him you traded two first round picks for a cornerback and that looks like a massive overpay hello joey porter jr for waiting yeah it's just bad move after bad move after bad move and basically we all knew that coming into this season the GM and the head coach were possibly dead men walking and yet Shane Steichen still is drawing a paycheck as the time of we are discussing this entire situation and i'm not out here saying everybody needs to get fired i understand like you have families you have everything like these are real people but still you are firing the GM the head coach should be gone gone as well one more thing on the Colts and we'll get to the Eagles when you look at the franchise in in the direction that they're going to have to go here how concerned are you if you're a Colt fan sitting here today and you're going all right so our GM is out our head coach is next we have an owner who is clearly trying to put her own stamp on everything what do you make of the future from a leadership perspective for Indianapolis did you feel confident that they've got the right people in place to make the decisions or is this a team that might be wavering here a bit in terms of their direction i feel okay about it like i know that the the internet likes to have uh you know their their punches and and all their opinions about uh about what she does from a leadership leadership perspective as far as her say but how is it a bad thing for somebody leading a company an organization to do two things immerse themselves in everything they possibly can to be a better leader to educate themselves as much as they possibly can to be a better leader to truly understand what's going on in the day-to-day as opposed to being what a false symbol a puppet uh not being a leader just being a symbol head would everybody feel more comfortable if she was doing that so like i feel okay about it like this is i look at what she is doing from a leadership and a company perspective and i'm all on board like if you cannot handle accountability you shouldn't be in one of these positions of power and decision making if you can't handle somebody not looking over your shoulder but asking you to justify the things that you're doing or saying hey fine like what's going on explain this to me like i'm fine if you can't do those things in any walk of life do you truly understand what even the hell you're doing
