There were a lot of head-tilting moments during Monday night's news conference at Indianapolis Colts headquarters. While it was ostensibly meant as an introduction to Jeff Saturday the coach, it was a lot more about team owner Jim Irsay and general manager Chris Ballard, who seized on the moment to air their grievances with local media.
But one of the things Saturday said was laughable:
"You've got to earn your place here."
A man with no coaching experience beyond a meh 20-16 record at a small Georgia high school had just been handed one of the 32 most coveted jobs in pro football, by a man who simply inherited one of the most valuable properties in this country.
