The chances of Saturday getting the job seem slim considering his inexperience, the team’s poor record after he took over and the extensive list of candidates in their search so far.
However, Colts owner Jim Irsay loves him, so he can’t be counted out.
Here’s the full list of candidates so far for Indianapolis:
- Lions OC Ben Johnson (Interviewed)
- Lions DC Aaron Glenn (Interviewed)
- Rams DC Raheem Morris (Interviewed)
- Eagles OC Shane Steichen (Interviewed)
- Broncos DC Ejiro Evero (Interviewed)
- Chiefs OC Eric Bienemy (Interviewed)
- Colts ST Coordinator Bubba Ventrone (Interviewed)
- Giants OC Mike Kafka (Requested)
- Giants DC Wink Martindale (Requested)
- 49ers DC DeMeco Ryans (Requested)
- Cowboys DC Dan Quinn (Requested)
- Interim HC Jeff Saturday (Interviewed)
Saturday, 47, wound up going undrafted out of North Carolina back in 1998. He later signed on with the Ravens before eventually joining the Colts.
Saturday spent 11 years with the Colts before joining the Packers for the 2012 season. He was later released and retired soon after.
For his career, Saturday appeared in 153 games and was a six-time Pro Bowler.
The Colts hired Saturday away from his job as an ESPN analyst as their interim head coach after firing Frank Reich in 2022. He finished the season with a 1-7 record.
