Ohio Colt Walk On

I'm hoping about another decade to see this current era through....

 

1) How many more years is he running the show (your prediction)

 

2) Who in the world would take over when he's done (your guess at succession plan)

 

The thought of my colts without the best owner in sports makes me sick.

He said years ago that he was going to pass the team along to his daughter, I believe it's Casey but I could be wrong. 

 

He also hinted he would walk away about the time Peyton was done playing, now clearly things have changed a lot sense that so his time table might have changed.

Wasn't that Polian saying that he'd be moving on after Manning was done?

Both dropped hints about it.  Polian was just more up front about it.

Ah. I don't remember it from Irsay. He's said several times that his daughters are going to take over at some point, but I don't remember him tying that to Manning's career specifically.

yeah it's not something he talked about a lot it was just something he hinted at once or twice, very easy to miss it was just on a sound bite on the news about the sametime Huddles opened and he never came out and directly said it just hinted at it.

Family members may be brought in to be more hands on sometime in the future....   but I'd guess for Irsay himself,  he certainly won't step down before Luck is done....   so, I'd guess a minimum of 12 more years....  

 

That said,  it wouldn't surprise me if he sticks around until he's 75 or more...

 

It's a small and exclusive club....   there are only 32 owners of an NFL franchise.   You're one of the most important and powerful people in your state.    Everyone takes your phone call.     It's the high life....

 

No need to let go of all that before one absolutely has to.....

that's correct.  Irsay gave an interview with his daughter Casey, and in the interview he said that he would retire when Peyton retires, and that Casey would be taking over the team.  I'll see if I can find the link.

He's also made Casey a deal that might make many Colts fans cringe: "When Peyton retires, then it's her team."

      Can the Colts replace the 8 bit helmet logo with a horeshoe

      By TigerColt · Posted

      I get the “old school” mentality of the current logo but it would look very sharp to have a horseshoe on the field instead.  I have to admit I cringe when I see the low quality helmet logo when watching home games

      2024 NBA, Pacers and all NBA talk

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      The Pacers by winning last night gives them their 11th appearance in the Final 8 as an NBA franchise since the league went to 16 teams in 1984 making the playoffs. 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2024.   -Eastern Conference Finals appearances = 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2013, 2014. (8)   -NBA Finals appearances = 2000. (1)   -No NBA Championships but still a very good franchise looking at those numbers. The year the Pacers won the East (2000), they had to face Shaq, Kobe, and Phil otherwise we win it all that season and Reggie has his ring.    -I will go by since 1984 but here is my all-time Pacers team since 1984: PG - TY Haliburton SG - Reggie Miller SF - Paul George PF - Myles Turner (I have Turner here/Rik is my Center. C - Rik Smits 6th Man - PF - David West   My HeadCoach is Larry Bird. From 1998-2000 he made the Conference Finals in all 3 seasons he coached and the Finals in 2000.

      Erlinger’s replacement

      By Shive · Posted

      I could see Slovis challenging Ehlinger for QB3. He's more athletic than Ehlinger and showed flashes of a potential 1st round QB prospect as a freshman at USC. Some stability and a chance to reset might be exactly what he needs. His upside is WAY higher than Ehlinger's and we've already seen him do it. It's just a matter of if he can get back to that level of play.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By DougDew · Posted

      I don't understand this, so please explain.     This is how I see it based upon what we know.   By accounts, Purdy has played better than Jimmy G.  If you believe the training camp stories where the players were telling media and the coaches that Purdy was the real deal when he got a chance to play in TC, Purdy was good right away and need little actual development by NFL coaches.   If Lynch knew this would happen, why did he wait until the very last pick of the drat to select Purdy?  To say it wasn't luck, but rather skill and knowledge, you'd have to believe that...going into the draft... Lynch knew Purdy would be good (or else why pick him), and also knew that not one other team thought he would be good, so he knew he could just wait until pick 250..    He knew the other GMs thought Purdy would not even be even good right away, but not even a good enough prospect to take a flyer on him and snipe him at pick 249?  Sure, he benefits from Shanahan's system, but my goodness, his success is not THAT system dependent that some team would not have selected him in round 4, 5, 6, 7. with all of the comp picks added on as merely a prospect.  They all ignored Purdy.      How do folks hold the GM player evaluation process in such high regard when we all know that GMs miss.  Both with picking busts and missing good players.  Why is pointing that out a negative?  We all know it.  And why does Ballard deserve to be shielded from it?

      Shedeur Sanders won’t be a 1st round QB next year

      By chad72 · Posted

      Maybe he needs lessons in how to manage his image and draft stock as the more he does this type of stuff, he could drop out of the Top 5 that his Dad feels he would go at. With 6 teams taking QBs this year, and 3 last year, in Round 1, the demand won't be as high and the supply will still be good enough. If his OL doesn't protect him well like during their losing streak, is he going to throw his OL under the bus next? I rarely see Deion or Shedeur taking ownership of their on the field issues or have the humility to say "it was my fault". They talk like they are in denial that a team could shellack them or they always lost to a team that they could have beat, that is the impression that I get, and it gets old.
