My guess is that Ballard and his agent already have a new gig lined for next season. In other words he's had one foot out the door all season.

I have never liked that Walmart in Zionsville, I will never shop there again now.

He will find a GM job quickly, if fired. This isn't Grigson we are talking about.

Sadly, that’s his biggest strength and why he got 8 years - he wasn’t Grigson. And that was enough for him to get the chance to waste 8 fucking years building mediocrity. That won’t carry as much weight in other cities.

He’ll get another shot. The question is if he learns anything from his failures here. His past history says he won’t. He’s way too fucking arrogant. I’m sure he’s still convinced he’s building the team the right way.

Frankly, give me Grigson 8 out of 7 days over this dude. Grigson was a tyrant, clearly lacking in personnel skills, and definitely rubbed people the wrong way including a lot of players. But what he wasn't, was a fucking coward! Ballard is all bravado and no balls. At least Grigson fired his shot- it misfired terribly and blew his own head off but give me that every single time over a fucking sit on your hands bum who does nothing and perpetuates a culture of rewarding his guys for accomplishing jack shit. We are in purgatory as a middling franchise with no upward momentum because bitch ass Ballard is scared of his own shadow.

Fuck Chris Ballard!

Maybe but he might have to take a step back to director of scouting or something.

Word is he has been doing some Coursera stuff to polish up on his knowledge of Boars Head vs Hillshire Farms. He will likely continue to struggle with the cut thickness, but hey, he'll likely be better at that than his scouting of NFL players.


Fuck Chris Ballard!

Former Colts Players Don't Hold Back as They Share Their Uncensored Thoughts on the Current State of Their Former Team

(By Destin Adams)

https://atozsports.com/nfl/indianapo...ts-pat-mcafee/




1) ) Marlin "I Intercepted Tom Brady's Pass to Clinch the 2006 AFC Championship" Jackson

https://x.com/i/status/1873485091332121080



2) ) Robert "Every Time You Hear My Name, You Will Always Think of Dwight Freeney, and Vice-Versa" Mathis

"Hold up !!! Giants hang 40+ on us ??? What's going on ???"



3) ) Pat "I Don't Care if I'm a Punter, I'll hit you as hard as Chris Hanburger would if you have the ball" McAfee

"A blind person could see the red flags on this team. Work ethic questions, NEVER happens on good teams. Preparation commitment questions, NEVER happens on good teams. Late to meetings, NEVER happens on good teams. Late to/skipping treatment, NEVER happens on good teams. The franchise QB tapped out of a game on 3rd down because he was tired NEVER HAPPENED in the history of the NFL."

I bet Ballard has a framed picture of Donnie Walsh in his office!
