Ballard says that the first met him while Decker was on the other side of Lot M at the Truman Sports Complex doing some consulting work for the Kansas City Royals.Then in Ten Things I Think I Think, Ballard named Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy as two of the “special coaches” with whom he has been fortunate to work — and shares a story about why he respects Bieniemy so much.The Chiefs moved on from Ware after the 2018 season, but he will be suiting up for Ballard’s Colts in 2019 — along with other former Chiefs like linebackers Justin Houston and Dadi Nicholas and tight end Ross Travis.Before joining the Colts after the 2016 season, Ballard was widely seen as one of the top GM candidates available — and perhaps even the GM-in-waiting for Kansas City.We’ll likely never know if the latter was really true De'Anthony Thomas Jersey , because Ballard departed for Indianapolis six months before the Chiefs abruptly fired former general manager John Dorsey.But Ballard’s FMIA guest article clearly shows why he was held in such high regard around the league.And because Ballard — like current Chiefs general manager Brett Veach — joined the Chiefs organization with Dorsey in 2013, it probably reveals some insight about the way Veach does business, too.Again... it’s well worth the read.
