That was 100 percent Jim Irsays call.
So this arguing over whether Jim is really deciding who plays is pointless. He absolutely is, or at least he did in that situation.

Colts owner @JimIrsay said early this morning that he empowered HC Frank Reich to make the change at QB from veteran Matt Ryan to Sam Ehlinger, a 6th rd pick in 2021, and was "excited" and that he, Reich and he, Reich and GM Chris Ballard were in "lockstep" on the move.

Irsay owns the team, he has been hands off until the wheels come off. Notice Ehlinger is no longer starting. Saturday is the guy who put Ryan back as the starter.
Ballard may get fired, but thats not happening until the day after the end of the season. There wont be time or people available to hire until the off season.
