The Indianapolis Colts sure did turn some heads and raise some eyebrows when they announced they were hiring former Pro Bowl center and ESPN analyst Jeff Saturday as the team’s interim head coach after firing Frank Reich.

Saturday, who was the center for Peyton Manning for many years in Indianapolis, had no head coaching experience at the college or pro level and was just 20-16 as a head coach in high school over the last few years. Despite the inexperience, Colts owner Jim Irsay made the shocking move to hire him, igniting a heated debate on TV shows, social media and more from talking heads, former players, former coaches and even some current coaches.
