The Colts hire of Jeff Saturday as interim coach has resulted in a ton of backlash throughout the league. Owner Jim Irsay decided to go outside the box with an inexperienced candidate with no NFL coaching experience, passing over many reasonable candidates currently on the Colts staff.
Former offensive lineman Joe Thomas, an eight-time All-Pro with the Browns, is one who was upset by Irsay’s choice. The current NFL Network analyst went on a rant explaining everything wrong with the hire.
“When you hire your drinking buddy to be a head coach of an NFL football team, it is one of the most disrespectful things I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” Thomas said on Good Morning Football.
