Carlie Irsay-Gordon has been given the final "yes" or "no" decisions made by Indianapolis Colts' general manager Ryan Grigson on the football side and chief operating officer Pete Ward on the business side.

Irsay-Gordon, 33, is one of Jim Irsay's three daughters and she has assumed control of the franchise while he's in rehab.

"She'll do well. She's a sharp business person," former Colts assistant and current Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. "She's very much like her father, she has great personality, she's extremely bright, she has a good feeling for people. I've worked for a bunch of owners, and Jim Irsay -- he talks about faith, family and football. It's real. And she has that same mindset."

Irsay-Gordon started as an intern in the team's football and marketing department and worked her way up to her current title of vice chair/owner prior to the 2012 season. She graduated from Skidmore College in upstate New York, where she majored in religious studies, and she has represented the Colts at the NFL owners meetings every year since 2004. 

Irsay-Gordon, who is married to an attorney and has three children, has declined all interview requests because of her father's legal situation.
