What happens when you’re the general manager of a team that is a heavy favorite at home, but lost to a team that was previously 0-5?
You get fired.
Chris Ballard out as general manager of the Colts.
Ballard finishes his career in Indianapolis with a record of 72-82-1, only two playoff berths, no AFC South titles and a six-year playoff drought that has pushed the franchise to the point of a total rebuild.
Indianapolis is currently 2-4.

Ballard’s time in Indianapolis will be noted for the quarterback adventures the team endured on his watch. After Luck retired unexpectedly in 2019, the Colts have remained on a carousel that Ballard seemingly could never escape. Indianapolis has had 14 different starting quarterbacks under Ballard, tied with the New York Jets and Denver Broncos for the third-most in that span, according to ESPN Research.
