Colts 2022 Embrace the suck

[DoggyDaddy]

Hypothetically, let’s say you go through a five year apprenticeship program, and work your tail off.

Then you work at a company and do an amazing job for 10 to 15 years. You give the company your all.

Then an awesome job promotion becomes available, but your boss gives it to his bowling buddy who has literally never done the job before in his life.

You guys are honestly telling me you wouldn’t be a little upset? Not even a little?

I can understand that. It's the same as bringing in an outsider instead of promoting from within in any business really. That being said, I don't understand the animosity towards Saturday. He was well-loved when he was with the team and I always thought he was a good guy. Will that translate to being able to be a coach?

Would it be the most egregious thing if Saturday was black? Asking for a friend.

I see what you are saying, but with a few differences. First, people are saying it is disrespectful to all the coaches in the NFL. I don't see different teams being "the same company", but more like competing companies. UPS hiring a CEO from outside the company is definitely not disrespectful to FedEx employees. Second, I don't think most of the Colts' current staff can say they have been doing an amazing job lately. Third, Saturday may not have any coaching experience, but he does have quite a bit of experience working in the NFL as a player, player rep and consultant. Fourth, he is being hired as an interim HC. I'm not saying I would be happy with it, but things like this happen in business all the time.

Ummm that's pretty much how it often happens in the real world.
Far too often a business owner hires or promotes someone for reasons other than their on the job experience in that position. I have been on the short end of such a scenario in the past. Sure I was pissed for like 3 days. But, I went to work and did my job because that's what adults who aren't owed anything do.

Just because a person has a career goal and climbs the career ladder, doesn't make them the best qualified. In this case, Jeff Saturday's prior related job experience as well as having been (as I'm sure I read it) a consultant for the team very well maybe just as good as someone who has spent years being a mediocre assistant coach.

My question to those whining that Irsay should have interviewed coaches and specifically black coaches for the Rooney rule is, where is this repository of coaches in general and black coaches specifically? I have no clue where, midseason, Irsay was supposed to find coaches that are not under contract.

My understanding is that teams cannot even discuss jobs with coaches under contract with another team during the season. I believe the NFL has at least a verbal agreement with the college organizations to not poach their coaches midseason.

Where are all these coaches Irsay was supposed to interview?

Tough choice picking the Colts/Raiders game. The Colts week has been well chronicled. Da wraders have been bad at times and certainly have lost a lot of games. The Colts D could shut them down. Better play calling and JT could gash them.

The latest odds are Raiders -4.5. Who would you straight up bet?

I’d still have to pick Raiders.

Until the Colts show that they can even remotely protect the quarterback, it’s going to be very difficult to win any games.

Since no other team will likely allow any of their staff to interview during the season and few potential candidates would be interested in an interim position anyway, the candidate pool becomes the current staff. Given that scenario, I'd hire somebody sleeping under a bridge first.

Jeff Saturday Getting Interim NFL Head Coaching Job Called Racist, But Steve Wilks Getting Similar Position Was Also Racist

The Colts hiring Jeff Saturday as interim coach is allegedly proof of NFL racism, but Carolina hiring Steve Wilks is also racism.

Parks Frazier: I'll never say I have all the answers, but I'll work my tail off to find them - ProFootballTalk

The Colts’ surprising move of installing Jeff Saturday as interim head coach was followed by another surprising move in Saturday naming pass game specialist/assistant quarterbacks coach Parks Frazier as the club’s offensive play-caller.Speaking to the media on Thursday, Frazier confirmed he’s...

So just who will be the next Colts head coach? Bovada has the odds on favorites. Betters must be crazy because Peyton Manning is the favorite.

I think the best bet will be Jim Harbaugh. He is tied with Mike Kafka and Kellen Moore.

Who do you Guys think?

I also see Ballard on the way out and see Saturday as the potential replacement. Could also explain why Saturday took the interim head coaching position, to see what he has…

Well I do hope you are right. Time for wholesale change.

The media doing what they do, stirring the pot.

 

[COOPADUP]

Going to tune in today to see how Mr. Saturday does.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Hearing reports that if Sam struggles then Saturday will go back to Matt Ryan.

The Ehlinger experiment may be short lived.
