Coincidentally neither did anyone else. He is in that role to lose. Period. The Irsays are a despicable family of people They could have accomplished the same thing by leaving Frank Reich at the helm. granted, fan base expectations can now be lowered and losing can be more tolerated because Saturday is a beloved old colt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted November 11, 2022 Former Browns LT Joe Thomas is DEEPLY offended that companies just go out and hire whomever they want. Fock freedom!!!! https://sports.yahoo.com/colts-hiring-of-jeff-saturday-the-most-egregious-thing-i-can-ever-remember-happening-in-the-nfl-says-former-browns-ol-joe-thomas-165749000.html “The disrespect that NFL coaches have to feel when they saw that this hire was made is higher than almost anything I can ever possibly remember in the NFL,” Thomas said. “... When I saw this, I thought it was a joke. ... It was the most egregious thing I can ever remember happening in the NFL, and I went 1-31 my last two years in the NFL.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
