Why Hasn't Jeff Saturday Resigned?

[Brylok]

As I recall, when Jeff did his interview after he was hired out of the blue, he said that he might suck at this and if so, he'd say thanks for the opportunity and then go back to doing something else. Paraphrasing, but it's the same point. So...why is he still here? He went 1-7 and his team set NFL records for things you don't want to set NFL records for. Nothing against a Colts legend, but WTF? Honest question.

If you watched his press conference, none of it was his fault.

As an interim coach, his contract ended with the season, no need to resign.

Why is he even getting an interview is the real question

The end of the Colts season, or the end of the NFL season? The NFL season ends February 13th. The Colts season ended over a week ago. It's all rather murky and raises questions. For me anyway.

This is such a stupid thread.

Not stupid enough for you to not get involved. And please let me know why this of all thing on this board is stupid. It seems like a logical question given what Saturday has said. Maybe not resigned but taken himself out of contention if you feel the need to nit pick.

He probably thinks he will be getting the HC gig !! I don't recall where I read this, but he supposedly is on the list for 2nd interviews, and so far he's the only one!! He might be the only one who would accept it.

Saturday may or may not be a horrible head coach, but I don't think that anyone can know that for certain after 8 games. Bill Parcells was 3-12-1 in his first season coaching the Giants in 1983.

So for the time being, all we can do is patiently wait to see what Saturday says, and (more significantly) see what Jim Irsay says.

I'm just a little too young to remember Parcells' first year. Did his team get completely embarrassed multiple times, set an NFL record in futility, and give up at the end of the season like the Colts did under Saturday?
