Jeff Saturdays highest level of coaching is High School Football. Lol. Think the Colts are tanking??

He was 17-18 in High school football too as HC!

[86WARD]

Lol.

Colts still suffering from Andrew Luck leaving…those ripples are still going through that team. That’s why if the Steelers drafted another QB this season in round one, I’d have no problem with it…

No QB, no nothing…

[Mojouw]

Lordy lordy lordy. Someone needs to stop Irsay and Ballard.

I mean, I guess Lynch went from player to GM with some success. Maybe Saturday can do this?

FWIW, if he does, I'm totally out on coaching being this massive difference maker.

Right?!?

[polamalubeast]

I don't think the colts will win a single game for the rest of the year...not even against the steelers,raiders or Houston....I never see a team in the NFL take a interim HC who was not in their staff before this change...He was on TV...He know almost nothing about their system and you can't change the system during the season!


Jim Irsay just want a high draft pick for a QB like in 1998 and 2012!

Do they have to Rooney Rule it for an interim coach? Lol

Wasn’t his old man a notorious drunken meddler? I thought I heard he’d fire guys and forget and wander down from the box to demand lineup changes during games.

This says more than I can say. Bob Irsay was a piece of shit as an NFL owner…and a human being. When you are at a press conference at BWI with the mayor, and you stick your finger under Hizzoner’s nose and shout “Does this smell like Indianapolis to you?”, that tells you all you need to know.

[polamalubeast]

The Colts were lucky to have Peyton Manning for so many years at some points or they would be one of the worst franchise in sports.....Between 1978 to 1997 they had zero 10 wins season!

[Born2Steel]

"Suck for Luck" sure paid off for them. Got a full trophy case now.

[polamalubeast]

Jeff Saturday has Devante Adams in his fantasy football....His first game as head coach will be against this team!

My dad and uncles were like watching “Diner”. They lived, breathed and died with the horseshoe. So did I. I was 10 when the Colts beat the Cowboys in SBV. My dad and his younger brother went to Miami when I was 8 to see the Colts and Jets in SBIII. I remember my mom telling my brother and I not to talk to dad when he came back home lol.

Baltimore truly lived and died with the Colts. Then Carroll Rosenbloom traded the team to Bob Irsay with his LA Rams and after that, the handwriting was on the wall. It’s been 38 years and it still pisses me off

I can still see the images on the news of the large moving trucks leaving in the middle of the night. It was huge news at the time in 1984

That whole story is amazing how that went down without anyone knowing. Couldn’t happen nowadays with social media and “the leaks”…

[Crow-Magnon]

Me and my three friends had an “arrangement” with a senior usher at Memorial Stadium. $3.00 a man got you two old ticket stubs stapled together, with a pronouncement such as “Gate E-3. Left turnstile. Blonde girl named Jane. Tell her “Frank” says ‘hi’”. Once inside, we found empty seats. But as more fans got seated we had to keep moving until finally up in the nosebleeds behind the end zone. So, after the ‘83 season, being either 23, 24 or 25 years of age, we decided to bite the bullet and get season tickets. Yeah, we hated Irsay, but still loved the horseshoe. All that disappeared in a blizzard in February of 1984. I still give a middle finger to every Mayflower van I see lol.

Had the move gone down like it did with the Browns, it would have been better. Instead of listening to rubes in Indy talk about how great “their QB” Johnny Unitas was and shit like that. They should have left the name, unis and history behind and renamed the team to something that reflects Indianapolis. None of the ex-Baltimore Colts wanted anything to do with Indy. And Unitas was very vocal about how he felt about the move. Thankfully his statue is outside M&T Bank.

I can see that, when I started watching the Steelers in 77 as a little kid, one of the first games I watched was the divisional playoff between the Steelers and the Colts with Bert Jones. Jones looked so much better than bradshaw that game. Thankfully my Steelers recovered the next season. Anyway back then I thought Baltimore and Colts was inseparable - Like Pittsburgh and Steelers

Man, did the Steelers break my heart back in the 70’s. Baltimore had some good teams back then with Jones, Lydell Mitchell, the Sack Pack, but could never get over that Pittsburgh hump.

Andrew Luck gets far to much credit for the little he did so I fixed it for you

If Saturday turns out to be a good head coach, all these ex-coaches and ex-players are going to be eating a lot of shit.

That would be something else…right???

[Mojouw]

It would also mean HC is totally over rated.

[Born2Steel]

IDK, Tim Hasselbeck sorta had a good point. Not necessarily for Jeff Saturday specifically, but bringing in someone to simply light a fire under the players without the 'risk' to his career. There are 2-3 ex-HCs on staff with the Colts and those guys, along with their assistants and gophers, are all looking for their next jobs. Saturday comes in as a Colts guy and maybe gets everybody doing their job again without any drama, expectations, long term goal, anything. Just go do your job and try to go 1-0 each week. They are a team of pro players after all.

I'll be watching this just to see what happens.

If that’s the case, good for him. But it means anyone with management experience could be an NFL head coach.

Maybe the real world works like Ted Lasso, but I kinda doubt it.

I didn’t read that into it at all. Nothing to do ‘much’ with scheming or play calling. The coaches that are already there will handle that part of it. I felt he was saying Saturday can come in and call guys out, make personnel changes, and ‘player talk’ the locker room. Like he did with Payton. Zero risk for Saturday. There will be mostly new coaches and staff next season. Saturday may be able to get guys playing football again.

Just my take away from what Hasselbeck said only.

That’s the basic plot of Ted Lasso.

And like countless other Disney sports movies

I’m not saying it can’t work. It totally might.

But if it does I’m all the way out on HC being all that important. The whole idea that like only certain guys can do it and it requires sleeping in your office and working 20 hour days would take a pretty big hit.

I’ve always suspected far more is dependent on players than coaches but if Colts are decentish through this, it’s gonna take a lot for me to think coaching isn’t more than a bit over rated.

[86WARD]

Where I agree with Cowher, he should also make a point to say that a lot of the announcers and analysts nowadays have no business doing what they are doing as the same thing pretty much holds as it does with head coach and Saturday…

The poor clock management is across the league. Detroit screwed it up so many times on Thanksgiving Day that it was ridiculous. They lost the game because of it in the end.

[Dwinsgames]

for all those who think Tomlin is so great and Saturday bottom of the barrel , makes me wonder how the Colts team led by Saturday ( and a bunch of defenders on IR ) nearly beat the Tomlin led steelers ... ( just thinking out loud don't mind me )

The colts almost beat the now 10-1 eagles before this game too....A lot of HC can be successful in the short term, especially when you have nothing to lose....It's in the long term that we can see if an HC is great or not

Now former Colts head coach and also former backup QB of the Buffalo Bills in the 1990s and he was the QB with the biggest comeback in NFL history(regular season or playoffs) in a playoffs game against the Houston Oilers(down 35-3 before winning this game 41-38 in OT!)
