Jeff Saturday was the type of hire you generally see in movies. Sure, he was a six-time Pro Bowler and former center for the Indianapolis Colts, but owner Jim Irsay brought Saturday in to replace Frank Reich despite the fact that he had zero coaching experience at the NFL level. In fact, his only head-coaching experience was for a high school.
Saturday seemed destined to fail, something that can be said for many interim coaches. Outside of beating the Las Vegas Raiders in his first game in charge, that expectation of failure for the highly unqualified NFL head coach came true.
He went 1-7 as Indianapolis’ head coach and led his team to a seven-game losing streak to end the season.
It was a joke of a hire, and the result was funny as well — if you’re not a Colts fan. Still, for some reason, the Colts actually re-interviewed Saturday this offseason, and they’re apparently considering him for the full-time gig.
