​The National Football League's Indianapolis Colts hired former player Jeff Saturday on Nov. 7 as its interim head coach after firing its previous coach, Frank Reich, due to poor performance.

However, Saturday's lack of NFL coaching experience sparked widespread criticism from NFL executives, former players and the media. Several Black coaches with NFL coaching experience were not given an opportunity to interview for the position.

Jim Irsay, the Colts' owner, defended his decision by saying that Saturday is "fully capable" of excelling despite his lack of NFL coaching experience.
