Colts ownership fires head coach and replaces him with basically some guy

The Colts fired their head coach Frank Reich two days ago after going 3-5-1. They replaced him with Jeff Saturday as interim head coach. A former player for the team, Jeff Saturday also boasts a two year coaching stint at Hebron Christian Academy, a high school in Georgia.

A reassuring quote from his first press conference:

"My role here is for 8 games. When this is over. They will do an exhaustive search and pick whoever their best candidate is to be the head coach of the Colts. If I'm considered I'd be honored. I have no idea where this thing is gonna go — not even a little bit."

"Here's the deal, man. None of us are promised a good job. I may be terrible at this. And after eight games, I'll say, 'God bless you. I am no good.' I may be really good it? But I dang sure ain't gonna back down."

Journos are of course angry about this due to them not hiring a black coach. Somehow they are jumping to the conclusion he's unfit for the job.

This sub is what happens when minimally educated unintelligent people join together to find common ground and project their own self loathing to the rest of the world. There has never been anything clever that I have ever seen from this sub. I will continue to look for humor but I am just starting to think that loss and anger plus unemployment equals humor
