Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay shocked many on Monday when he announced that Jeff Saturday would serve as the team’s interim head coach in the wake of Frank Reich’s firing.
While Saturday has no previous coaching experience, Irsay was adamant during Monday’s press conference that the franchise’s former long-time center is the right man for the job.
“I’m glad he doesn’t have any NFL experience,” said Irsay. “I’m glad he hasn’t learned the fear that’s in this league because it’s tough for all our coaches. They’re afraid. They go to analytics, and it gets difficult.
