ROBERT IRSAY
President and Treasurer
“The greatest thrill I've
had in football was on April
2, 1984, when | walked
into the Hoosier Dome with
Mayor (Bill) Hudnut in front
of all those fans,’ says
Robert Irsay of the 20,000
people who showed up to
welcome the Colts to
Indianapolis. ‘It is my
intention,’ Irsay continues,
“for the Colts to be a vital
contributing member of the
greater Indianapolis com-
munity.’*
Irsay became owner of
the Colts on July 26, 1972, when he traded his recently-
acquired Los Angeles Rams to Carroll Rosenbloom for the Colt
franchise. Irsay had purchased the Rams from the estate of
Dan Reeves.
Irsay was born on March 5, 1923, in Chicago's northern
“Bucktown” section. He worked his way through the Univer-
sity of Illinois, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree
in mechanical engineering. (While attending Illinois, he was
an Illini football teammate of former Colt Alex Agase.)
From 1941 to 1945, he served in the United States Marine
Corps., after which he worked for a mechanical contracting
company in Chicago.
In 1952 he formed the Robert Irsay Company of Skokie,
Ill. After building the business into one of the largest and most
respected heating, ventilating and air conditioning companies
in the world, Irsay sold his company to a firm listed on the
New York Stock Exchange in 1971. He remained associated
with the firm until 1978 when he formed Colt Construction
and Development Co., and its affiliate, Colt Developers, Co.,
which are diversified construction and development
companies,
Irsay is an active supporter of many charitable organizations.
Among these are: Big Brothers, Little Sisters of the Poor, the
Noble Center, Christamore House, Black Expo, the Mental
Health Association and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Indian-
apolis; Foundation for Children with Learning Disabilities, New
York, New York; Stritch School of Medicine at Loyola Univer-
sity in Chicago; and the Troubled Children’s Foundation Center
in Hialeah, Fla. He makes further donations through the Colts
as a member of NFL Properties which dedicates a major por-
tion of its earnings to NFL Charities.
Irsay has two sons, Tom (38) and Jim (33), the club’s
general manager.OFFICERS

January of 1982. Jim was added to
the personnel department in 1983
and took over as general manager in
early 1984, following the Colts move

coach.
Irsay has served on the National Football League's Pro-
College Relations Committee. He currently serves on the
Working Club Executive Committee through the league.
Irsay received his bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism

lll, where he played golf, boxed and became an avid weight-
conditioner. He ran in the Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth,

is involved with Big Brothers of Indianapolis. He is a corporate
member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, and he serves on

Citizens in Indianapolis. Additionally, in 1990, Irsay wrote and
helped produce the song, ‘’Colors’’, a musical tribute to Ryan
White. Jim and his wife, Meg, have three daughters, Carlie
(11), Casey (9) and Kalen (5),
MICHAEL G. CHERNOFF

Chernoff has been vice president and
general counsel for Robert Irsay’s
various business concerns including
the Colt football team.
The Glencoe, Ill. native received his
bachelor’s degree from the University

‘on at Chicago ta receive his Doctor
of Law degree in 1959. Chernoff was
in private practice until 1974 when

counsel to a Fortune 500 company, one year before joining

TED MARCHIBRODA
Head Coach
Ted Marchibroda, the third-win-
ningest field leader in club history,
returned to the Colts organization
on January 28, 1992 as head
coach.
Marchibroda originally joined
the Colts on February 15, 1975 in
the same capacity and served
through the 1979 season. His ten-
ure included a 41-36 overall record
and three consecutive AFC
Eastern Division titles (1975,
10-4; 1976, 11-3; 1977, 10-4).
Marchibroda’s victory total ranks
behind only Don Shula (73,
1963-69) and Weeb Ewbank (61, 1954-62) in club history, while
77 games mark the third-longest coaching stretch in terms of ser-
vice to the team.
Marchibroda took the reigns of a Colts club that posted a 2-12
mark in 1974 and engineered the greatest seasonal turnaround
in NFL history by producing a 10-4 record in 1975, the first time
in league annals a club moved from last to first. His three divi-
sional championships from 1975-77 represent the most titles won
by a Colts head coach. Ewbank (1958, 1959) and Shula (1964,
1968) each won two NFL Western Conference titles. The Colts
posted a nine-game winning streak in 1975, the second-longest
in team history, and won 29 of 33 regular season outings from
October 26, 1975 through November 20, 1977. His 1976 team
won eleven of 14 games and topped the NFL in total offense
(5,236 net yards), passing (215-361-59.6%-209.1 yds./game-
9.05 avg./att., 24 TDs and nine ints.) and scoring (417, 29.8
points/game). In regular season play (42 games) during the divi-
sional title streak, the Colts were held in single digits only twice
and under 20 points just 13 times, while exceeding 30 points in
18 contests. The Colts reached the AFC Divisional Playoffs, los-
ing twice to eventual Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh and to
Oakland in a double-overtime thriller, 37-31, in 1977. His Colts
squads were 34-26 in conference play from 1975-79, 7-7 ver-
sus the NFC, while posting a 23-17 divisional record.
Marchibroda, 61, is a veteran of 30 NFL seasons. He spent the
past five seasons with Buffalo, including the last three as offen-
sive coordinator. His ‘no-huddle’ attack helped Buffalo establish
consecutive 13-3 records in 1990 and 1991, along with AFC
Championships and berths in Super Bowls XXV and XXVI. The
Bills scored more than 400 points during each of the past three
seasons, while their offense averaged 362.1 yards per game, 140.1
rushing yards, a 61.7% completion percentage and an 8.01 yards
Per attempt average over that span. The Bills sported a perfect
rush-pass blend (1,516-1,516) in his years as coordinator.
Marchibroda launched his NFL career as backfield coach for Bill
McPeak and the Washington Redskins in 1961. He joined the staff
of George Allen with the Los Angeles Rams in 1965. He moved
with Allen to the Redskins in 1971, where he served as offensive
coordinator through the 1974 season. Marchibroda was a member
