INDIANAPOLIS -- Jeff Saturday was hired to be the Indianapolis Colts' interim coach for the final eight games of the season -- "and hopefully more," as owner Jim Irsay put it.
But after a 1-3 start and a 25-point loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the Colts' last outing, it's fair to wonder whether Saturday still wants the opportunity to coach the team in the long term.
Saturday left no doubt Tuesday about his preference.
"I'm not wavering," he said. "I've loved it. I've had a great time."
Irsay has committed to conducting a traditional coaching search and it's presumed Saturday will be among the candidates to permanently replace Frank Reich, who was fired on Nov.
