Ownership of the Colts passed to Jim Irsay's daughters after his sudden death last month, beginning a new era for the franchise.
In the wake of Jim Irsay’s sudden death, the Indianapolis Colts reorganized. Ownership and executive duties passed to Irsay’s three daughters in accordance with his wishes. Carlie Irsay-Gordon is now the Colts’ owner and CEO, Casey Foty is owner and executive vice president and Kalen Jackson is owner, president and chief brand officer.
The three met with reporters to discuss the transition, which begins a new era for the franchise. “This is our business and we take it very seriously… As we discussed, we know we have some things to fix. But I think we're just doubling down and we're going to work tirelessly to make sure we continue the legacy,” Irsay-Gordon said per Stephen Holder of ESPN.
Jim Irsay secured his Colts legacy
Jim Irsay passed away at the age of 65. He had owned the Colts since 1997 and long intended to pass the team on to his daughters, just as his father passed ownership to him. The Irsay family has owned the Colts since 1972.
