The next Colts coach

After a disappointing season for Colts fans and a promise from owner Jim Irsay to get the team back on track, Hoosiers are anxiously awaiting the announcement of the team’s new head coach.

In fact, some are getting creative when it comes to being involved in the process, at least when it comes to Jeff Saturday’s candidacy.

After Jeff was brought in for a second interview Wednesday to potentially become head coach, a fan started a petition to end his candidacy that gathered ~3,000 signatures by Thursday night. Apparently a lot of fans weren’t happy with his 1-7 record as interim head coach.

General manager Chris Ballard interviewed more than a dozen candidates through the first round of interviews and is expected to have a second round with several more candidates before making a decision.

Meanwhile, former head coach Frank Reich has already been named head coach of the Carolina Panthers.

So as we wait for the Colts’ fate, we have to ask — who do you think should be the next head coach? Let us know your pick.
