Vin+ 3,121 Posted January 30, 2017 Colts hired Chiefs director of football operations Chris Ballard as GM. It became abundantly clear Ballard would leave Kansas City for Indianapolis late this week. Ballard is expected to retain Chuck Pagano as head coach, although Pagano will be in a make-or-break year with Ballard reportedly targeting Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub as soon as 2018. A longtime NFL scout, Ballard is highly regarded throughout league circles and appears to be a strong hire by owner Jim Irsay at surface level. Ballard will need to get to work on supplementing the Colts' talent base, which has sputtered for years beyond Andrew Luck and T.Y. Hilton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
