Shannon Sharpe Blasts Colts For Hiring Jeff Saturday, Says Black Men Would Never Be Offered Job Like That
Many people were taken aback and shocked to learn the news that Jeff Saturday had been picked for the interim head coaching position with the Indianapolis Colts.
Saturday, who spent 13 seasons with the Colts, was introduced in a press conference on Monday, just hours after the organization announced that they had fired former HC Frank Reich. Well, the Colts have received some backlash over Saturday's hiring due to his lack of professional or collegiate-level coaching experience.
As for the owner, Jim Irsay defended the decision by stating how much he loved him not having any experience.
«I'm glad he doesn't have any NFL experience. I'm glad he hasn't learned the fear that's in this league because it's tough for all our coaches,» Irsay said. «They're afraid, they go to analytics, and it gets difficult. He doesn't have that fear.»
I did not go well with Shannon Sharpe. He brought up the fact that one of the reasons minorities don't get coaching jobs is because they «lack experience» but in this case, it didn't matter: Here is what he had to say.
