Former Tar Heel great and Colts Ring of Honor member Jeff Saturday will not return to Indianapolis next season.
Saturday was whisked from his job as an NFL analyst at ESPN to finish the season as interim head coach after the Colts fired Frank Reich nine games into the season. After winning his first game in charge against the Raiders, the Colts lost every remaining game on the schedule.
Despite the poor team performance, Colts owner Jim Irsay remained a huge Jeff Saturday fan and took a lot of flack for continuing to consider Saturday. Yesterday, that consideration came to an end when Indianapolis announced the hire of Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen.
