According to CBS Sports Jason La Canfora, the Indianapolis Colts are ‘intrigued’ by Kansas City Chiefs Director of Football Operations Chris Ballard for their open general manager position–whose preference is to hire his current team’s special teams coach Dave Toub.
It seems to confirm an earlier report from Kansas City’s KMBC Steve Albritton, who said that Ballard is the ‘clear favorite’ for the Colts general manager position, but prefers to make a head coaching change–although he never specifically mentioned Toub.
Currently, this is the fourth report we’ve had of Ballard being either the ‘clear favorite’ or ‘intriguing’ for the Colts, as along with Albritton, The MMQB’s Albert Breer and the NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo have also issued similar reports–indicating that the Chiefs ‘right-hand man’ is seemingly in the driver’s seat right now for Indianapolis.
