Per Schefter

He was a consultant with the team. Not on staff. Never been a coach if any kind at college or NFL level to my knowledge.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an interim HC not be on staff, let alone never been a coach at all in college or nfl.

Breaking: Colts are naming their former six-time Pro-Bowl C and ESPN analyst Jeff Saturday as their interim head coach. Saturday has been a consultant for the team, is in its Ring Of Honor, and also was head coach for the Hebron Christian Academy football team in Dacula, Georgia.

This is strange. I didn't even know he was interested in coaching.

Doesn't seem like he's setting himself up for success by taking over a bad team as a first-time interim HC.

As best as I can tell, Jeff Saturday becomes the first person in NFL history to be named a head coach without any coaching experience at either the NFL or college level. He now takes over in Indy.


Wow

Didn't this sorta happen with Stoops in Oklahoma's bowl game last season? Or was he technically on staff?

I get that Saturday is a Colts legend, but that's just weird AF.

And it's already a racial thing



Finding the black coach on staff to be the interim so you can put out press releases touting he's your 1st black head coach then obviously replacing him with a white guy when you make the permanent hire is a go to move in college and pro football now. Guess since they had Dungy and Caldwell they knew they didn't need that step.
