Should Colts consider a familiar face in head coaching search?

While the hire of Jeff Saturday as interim head coach was a nice way for Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay to keep his franchise in the spotlight, it was clear pretty quickly that he has no long-term future in the position.

While it’s to be expected that the Colts will be linked to the big fish of potential coaching candidates like Jim Harbaugh and Sean Payton, perhaps the best course of action would be to turn to a familiar face who had a successful tenure with the franchise.

“[Former Indianapolis Colts head coach/quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell] has a wealth of football knowledge, experience, leadership ability, and many forget, success,” Sports Illustrated Colts reporter Drake Wally recently said. “…Nobody is discussing how good Caldwell would be for a Colts team that is likely to draft a young quarterback who needs an experienced head coach that not only knows the NFL but has seen and done it all. When it comes to experience and success, Caldwell checks every single box for the job.”
