Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard confirmed Jeff Saturday will be a candidate for the permanent head coaching job, via ESPN's Stephen Holder.
Ballard noted he will conduct the search for a new coach, although team owner Jim Irsay will make the final call, per Ben Arthur of Fox Sports.
Saturday went 1-7 as the team's interim coach after replacing Frank Reich in Week 10. The squad lost its final seven games of the year to finish 4-12-1, the fourth-worst record in the NFL.
Irsay has continued to praise Saturday, saying last month the coach would be "an outstanding candidate" for the full-time role.
