According to The Athletic’s Zak Keefer, interim man Jeff Saturday is not currently considered the front-runner for the Indianapolis Colts head coach opening:
“Furthermore, based on recent conversations I’ve had with those familiar with the search, I don’t get the sense that Saturday remains a front-runner for the job, despite what some national reports have indicated,” writes Keefer. “We know, with this franchise, that anything is possible — and owner Jim Irsay will make the final call — but at this point, a Saturday hire seems less likely.”
While Saturday remains beloved as a former player for the franchise—as an All-Pro NFL center during its prior glory days, he appeared inexperienced and overmatched after taking over near midseason of last year—albeit by inheriting an already bad football team.
