The Indianapolis Colts surprised everyone on Monday not when they fired Frank Reich, which they did, but when they then announced that former center Jeff Saturday, who has only coached a high school team, will be their interim coach going forward.
That move announced by Colts owner Jim Irsay was a total stunner and had NFL fans rightfully ripping the team for hiring a dude WHO HAS NEVER COACHED IN COLLEGE OR THE NFL.
But hey, Saturday is their new guy and this week he’ll be leading Indy up against the Las Vegas Raiders. Speaking of the Raiders, he tweeted this about them last week:
Don’t think Jeff Saturday knew he’d be coaching against the #Raiders when he sent this tweet last week… https://t.co/ubTnXMW6dD

That is too funny. Also, The Raiders are 6-point home favorites against the Colts in Week 10.
Life can come at you fast!
NFL fans had jokes.
The colts season is a win if Jeff Saturday beats McDaniels on Sunday. What a hilarious matchup. https://t.co/cJZc2TNkmW

What if they went up against a coaching staff with no play-calling experience? https://t.co/PwFrvIQLwN

Jeff Saturday took the job knowing he could at least beat the raiders 😂😂 https://t.co/6Kr6rGFHcI
