Jim Irsay Rips Idea Colts Are Tanking After Jeff Saturday Hire: 'That's Bulls--t'

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is not happy with the narrative that the team is tanking the 2022 season after hiring Jeff Saturday as interim head coach despite his inexperience.

The Athletic's Bob Kravitz reported Tuesday that Irsay called him and Fox 59's Mike Chappell to fire back at those who believe the Colts have called it quits midway through the season.

"That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard, that we're tanking," Irsay said. "That's bulls--t. We're in this thing; 9-7-1 get us in, no question about it. … We're not tanking the season.
