Carlie Irsay-Gordon Leads From the Sidelines | Indianapolis Colts News

Carlie Irsay-Gordon, the new principal owner and CEO of the Indianapolis Colts, is rewriting the playbook for NFL ownership by showing up on the sidelines—sometimes even wearing a headset. Taking over after her father’s passing in May 2025, she co-owns the team with her sisters and is deeply immersed in daily operations, refusing to just sit back. She’s not calling plays, but she’s learning every nuance—from coaching decisions to player performance—to make smarter, more informed choices. Her hands-on approach has earned praise from players and coaches alike, including QB Daniel Jones and head coach Shane Steichen, who call her detail-oriented and game-savvy. Though injuries derailed their strong start last season, the Colts are poised to rebound in 2026—with Carlie at the helm, learning, leading, and making every moment count.
