Colts Fire Chris Ballard: What's Next for Shane Steichen?

Indianapolis made a change this morning here with Chris Ballard. They ended up firing him. Chris Ballard had brought some pretty good players in there. Nelson, the offensive guard in there, Jonathan Taylor, the running back. There's been some players there, but obviously it's been very disappointing. They gave Daniel Jones that contract extension. They thought maybe they had found their guy here. How is this thing looking? And really, do you think Shane Steichen is also next? I think Steichen is certainly on the hot seat. I think he has a little more leeway because Ballard was there for 10 years. The Colts were extremely patient with him, and he had some good pickups. As you mentioned, Quentin Nelson, Jonathan Taylor, even Daniel Jones last year looked like a great signing, and I know things have kind of turned on a dime as they do in the NFL, but I think it was time for a leadership change in the front office. I think this is a warning shot to Shane Steichen to say, hey, if you can get things right this year, you might end up being the guy who leads our organization going forward as the head coach, and then we'll bring in a GM to help you. But if things don't go well for the Colts the rest of the year, I think their new owner, Jim Irsay, is probably just going to look at things and say, all right, I've learned enough. I've looked at what these guys were doing. It wasn't working out. It's time to make wholesale changes and try to get this thing on the right track because, man, they have not gotten the quarterback position right since Andrew Luck retired. And I know that no one could have foreseen Luck retiring in the way that he did, but they've just settled for so many Band-Aids at the position. And until they get someone in there that they can say, hey, this is our guy, we can trust him, and we know that he's going to be good, it's going to be hard for the Colts to turn it around.
