It's actually been revealed since the firing that Irsay dumped Reich specifically so that he could hire Saturday.

Irsay went so far as to say that if Saturday hadn't been available, he wouldn't have fired Reich.

Yeah, it was all quite weird.  I mean, we're talking the AFCS, 3-3-1, with what's left of Matt Ryan as their QB.  It's not like it was some situation that was falling by the wayside.  Irsay directing the change to Ehlinger was just, very Irsay.

Given their division winner ended up 9-8, who knows what would've happened if they stayed course with Ryan, Taylor & Pittman.

What else would Jeff Saturday have been doing? Golf? A podcast?

I was gonna make a thread prediction how it all played during the zenith of Payton hype and so far it looks like I’ve nailed it

->Payton hype fizzles then withers away 
->Steichen emerges as favorite candidate, long enough for everyone to get excited 
->team begins redirecting attention elsewhere in attempt to suppress expectations 
->Hires Frank Reich

shame I didn’t pull the trigger on posting it, so far it looks like it’s been spot on

Unless Tepper is legitimately torn it makes zero sense not to make this hire today. Gives you a leg up in filling out a staff.

It is possible they want to offer a second interview to someone else.

The team has guarded this process better than Fort Knox.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
