INDIANAPOLIS -- The text message to Indianapolis Colts assistant general manager Ed Dodds on that February night in 2018 wasn’t long. The phone call with general manager Chris Ballard was just as short.
“We have to get a new head coach,” Dodds said. “That’s exactly how he said it.”
Nothing else?
“Nothing,” Dodds responded. “We knew we couldn’t sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. That wouldn’t get us anywhere.”
