I mean I enjoy Jim Irsay, as someone who does not root for the Colts, but that said it's pretty insulting to hire a completely, nakedly unqualified white dude. Like, I find his drug use, his hatred of analytics and hands on approach to everything... funny, but man, you can't loving hire Jeff Saturday as a head coach, what the gently caress man.

This isn't going to hurt any of the assistant coaches. Maybe their pride but Bradley is still having a good season coaching the defense and Ventrone is still a good special teams coach. They can keep doing their thing without having to take the extra scrutiny since all eyes are on the offense and now Saturday.

The receivers are pretty good. Basically everything that's wrong with the Colts offense starts at the offensive line. They can't do anything and it's dragged the entire team down. Of the 3 games they won, two were thanks to the passing game but it pretty much killed Matt Ryan.

Relentlessboredomm posted:how is he more productive in an offense that didn't complete a pass until late in the 2nd quarter this last sunday? Well for him personally it's admittedly a low bar given his injury history, but he has about 300 yards receiving on the season which is already almost double his total from last year. Pierce has emerged as an increasingly-reliable outside threat, despite limited opportunities resulting from his QBs getting pasted in 1.5 seconds every play. And Pittman has shown himself to be a capable WR1 in general. I wouldn't call it a great receiving corps, but it's solid and young, and I think if the pass protection was even remotely competent they'd be acknowledged as a blue-chip unit.

Saturday is a weird hire but I don't know why people are trotting out names of other candidates from outside the organization. How many times has a team hired an interim HC midseason who wasn't already on staff? Was Bienemy going to walk away from his current job to take the position sight-unseen? Was anybody?

It's probably a good thing for black coaching prospects that no minority is associated with the clusterfuck that is about to happen. Head Coach Dwight Freeney would not exactly have advanced the cause.

I think it's just the frustration that there seems to be two different sets of standards for who can be a head coach based on your background. That being said, I wonder if this is a straight up tank job. You'd think they'd want someone plausible to command the tank but it IS Irsay, man doesn't care about optics. Also just saw this and agree https://twitter.com/bomani_jones/status/1589745323161030656?t=fpDzARbJ0XHvBuvuEx-qbg&s=19 E:f,b - black tank commanders don't help with this issue

It's less of a tank job and more of an "Irsay wants his loyal guy in there to see what's what and let him know if his GM is worth keeping" situation. Saturday is almost certainly not going to be the coach after this season, he's just Irsay's spy.
