INDIANAPOLIS-Indianapolis Colts Owner Jim Irsay has decided to keep General Manager Chris Ballard and Head Coach Shane Steichen.

Irsay made that announcement on X Sunday night. With a record of 8-9 this year, the Colts missed the postseason.

“I’ve been evaluating our entire operation, and I believe in Chris Ballard and Shane Steichen and our collective ability to make the improvements needed to take us to the next level in 2025,” Irsay wrote.

“I know fans who want an immediate change in leadership will be disappointed,” Irsay wrote. “That means we all have a lot to prove, so we’ll get back to work and keep doing what we can to earn your support and make you proud to be a Colts fan.”

The Colts missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year in 2024, the longest drought in 30 years for Irsay’s organization.
