Colts Begin New Era Under Irsay Daughters

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay died at age 65, prompting tributes from former coach Tony Dungy, quarterback Peyton Manning, and others who praised his compassion and transformative impact. The team's succession plan gives shared ownership to his three daughters—Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt, and Kalen Jackson—who will become the youngest ownership group in the NFL. Carlie Irsay-Gordon is expected to assume primary responsibility for football operations, building on her prior leadership during her father's legal troubles in 2014. The sisters have served as vice chair/owners since 2012 and are seen as well-prepared to continue the Irsay family's legacy into its third generation. While some fans are anxious about the transition, team insiders express strong confidence in Carlie's leadership. The Colts are expected to maintain their community and business commitments during this period of change.
