Saturday wasn't even interested in the job, he stated he didn't even consider himself a candidate for ANY HC job. 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 

[craftsman 1,045]

As an NFL fan, for the first time this year I would actually be interested in watching a Colts game.

Keep in mind irsay hired his workout buddy, grigson to be his GM when they had Andrew Luck.  He's just dumb.

[wiffleball 4,654]

Wouldn't be a problem if he changed his name to Jeff Sabbath.

[RLLD 3,455]

Did you know that Frank Reich is the son of a former NFl'er......but Frank only has daughters....so we can be sure there will be no third Reich.....

Why?  Because of Jeff Saturday?

[JustinCharge 2,397]

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.”

[nobody 2,053]

Things more egregious than a stupid coaching hire that happened in the NFL

1. Rae Curruth killed someone
2. Ray Lewis killed someone
3. Leonard Little killed someone
4. Marvin Harrison killed someone
5. Henry Ruggs killed someone
6. Donte Stallworth killed someone
7. Pacman Jones involved in a shooting in Vegas that paralyzed a guy
8. NFL actively covered up concussion effects of players
9. Ben Roethlisberger raped a chick
10. Ray Rice beat the living sh¡t out of some chick
11. Deshaun Watson jerked off in front of 20+ unconsenting massage therapist
12. Chargers/Pittsburgh game in 2008 that was clearly fixed.  Watch the clip here if you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnO5n7XhhoU
13. Didn't Albert Haynesworth stomp on a guy's head and cut him open
14. Brian Flores was apparently paid to tank games for the dolphins

There may be - I don't know - hundreds more.

[DonS 3,078]

One thing is for certain...  Jeff Saturday is already a better HC than Josh McDaniels! 

[phillybear 365]

Jeff Saturday wining his first game as head coach is the equivalent of making The Waterboy your middle linebacker and having him lead you to a win in the Bourbon Bowl.

It was 32 degrees today so there is no global warming. 

[KSB2424 3,085]

A former All Pro center, who always seemed football intelligent and a team leader was hired as an interim coach.  Who gives a Fock, the reaction to that hiring is mind boggling. 

[BeenHereBefore 1,339]

I knew the Colts would win this week and bet on them. To much BS talk Saturday will never win a game as their HC.

[TimHauck 1,819]

I’m surprised they let him start Matt Ryan, unless they’ve already given up on Ehlinger 

[JustinCharge 2,397]

Bill Cowher is now pearl clutching over this.  go to bed grandma.

JMHO.....Ehlinger is at best a backup journeyman... start him was akin to waiving the white flag....and from what I hear was a decision from the owner.

Yeah, that was weird.  Why all the drama? One of the strangest “stories” this year.

I hope Saturday and the Colts win out so that all these folks complaining will be forced to open a big ol' can of STFU.

Me too. Until the next to last game of the season.

Colts are beating the Eagles at the half.

Gotta wonder if Cowher and Thomas running their damn mouths with petty politics has fired up the Colts to play today.

I mean I get the reaction. Dude didn’t even coach at the college level, and if he’s just a lame duck interim coach, you could have promoted someone already on staff. It’s eyebrow raising for sure. 
 

but I agree, he’s a legendary all pro Colt, very intelligent. If you’re going to make a weird hire, this is one that theoretically could work

The race angle was dumb, but it was still a bit shocking.  I believe it is the 1st HC in NFL history that never coached in college or the NFL.

If the Colts need old hat Bill Cowher's words to fire them up they are losers. 

[DonS 3,078]

IND ended up losing at the very end even though they were under dogs.  I'm sure a minority coach would've made the difference.

Take away the race aspect for a minute (from both sides of the argument).....does anyone want to argue that Jeff Saturday was qualified for the position? Really his hire was an insult to white and black coaches all up and down the NFL and college ranks.

Dierker was pretty successful, never coaching in his life

What made John Elway qualified to GM? 

[Fireballer 2,394]

Saturday is probably an exceptional leader of men with a great football IQ. Irsay would obviously know this.  Thats all they need.  Dudes will run through walls for a leader that they want to follow.
