The NFL world has been buzzing about the surprise hire of Jeff Saturday, who recently became the Colts’ interim head coach and made his debut over the weekend with a 25–20 victory over the Raiders.
Although he is a former player, Saturday has faced significant criticism from players, coaches and members of the media given his lack of coaching experience. He previously told Peter King of Football Night in America that he hopes “many other former players will get opportunities like I’m getting.”
Jim Gray recently asked Tom Brady on the quarterback’s podcast, Let’s Go!, whether he felt he could be a head coach given his two decades-plus of experience. And while the legendary football player acknowledges he has the experience and knowledge, there’s a different aspect at play—“the desire to do something like that,” which he said “is totally different.”
