Irsays Tweet About Saturday

[turner46992]

What do you guys take from it? To me it sounds like he offered Saturday a front office or coaching job, He says

"We wish Jeff Sat the best,I wanted him to work for team full time but he wanted to go at it one more year..he's as good of a man as it gets"

If he is offering him an oline coach job, would you guys agree or disagree with him in that position. Do you think he is good enough to coach or no?

Its hard to tell....Certainly he is experienced and respected..

...but I would, have offered him the job...too...

I hope Mr. Irsay keeps that job offer open....until next off-season.

[Tark The Shark]

I would have given him a FO job, especially with how important he was in the player's lockout.

Sad to see him go but he probably only had one more year anyway.

[turner46992]

I think I would like the idea of Saturday being the Coach for the Offensive line. IF he can teach the center the line audibles and different protection schemes then Id be all for it. but I think that would more fall on the future centers ability to want to learn these skills

This offseason, Saturday wasn't in the team's plans for 2012 -- at least on the field. According to league sources, the Colts told Saturday they would be willing to give him a front-office job.

good players don't always make good coaches or front office personnel. who knows ?

Thanks Ruksak, I didnt see that anywhere, nor did I look, Just seen Irsays twitter and thought maybe He was offerin Jeff a job away from playing...but Yeah thats awesome though, if he is offering saturday a front office job, what would he possibly offer manning after he is done with denver

[ruksak]

Jeff has charisma and he is a great communicator with a high-end intelligence. A very personable and professional man, he displays obvious talent and experience for the quasi-political world of NFL front office management.

[LUVTHESHOE]

Sounds to me like maybe he wanted to be offered a center position not a coaching position. So maybe the question is who thinks he could still be playing?

The Packers

[Esquire59]

Jeff's a Hoosier now. He'll be back in the Colts front office or coaching staff by 2014. His play at the center position is really sub-par now and has been the past two seasons. I would've been happy to overpay him for one more year only to have his excellent game management, intelligence, and o-line coaching tutored to Luck.

[Coltswarriors]

I think it was more of a front office position, not a coach.

I think once Jeff is done playing, he'll be offered that job again.

Great guy and player.

[HOFClipboardHolder]

You're not going to find a smarter center in the league and he should be a pretty good OL coach, when his playing career ends

[21isSuperman]

I do think Jeff would be a solid coach, as he is a very smart guy and seems like he would be able to relate to players, get along with them, motivate them, and bring out the best in them. However, he really seems to like doing broadcasting stuff, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him go into a TV booth once he retires

[ColtsPRIDE11]

He'll be bad in some capacity for the Colts when he retires. Rest assured. That is unless he just doesn't want to do it at all.

[Andy]

I hope he comes to the FO when he retires. Would make a great scout or even a player personnel guy. Wish him well in GB!

what was his Wunderlick i wonder

[BleedingBlue]

Only one person classier than saturday in the nfl. I see Jeff as a commentator after his packers stint.

[funktacious2]

Saturday may be Ring of Honor material.

[21isSuperman]

what was his Wunderlick i wonder

27. I think it's out of 50

He offered him a front office job, which will probably still be open to him once he hangs it up.

[FireJimCaldwell]

I can see that someday.

I think Bob Kraft would bring him into the Patriots organization too.

I want to know wunderlick for andrew Luck so much out of so many

I think Manning only got a 21 or 22 on the wonderlic if I remember correctly. So I really do not care at all who scored what on the test. It is a stupid waste of time that has absolutely nothing to do with football what so ever.

[Keith L. Scott]

I thinkAaron Rodgers wanted a veteran center and not a rookie or an inexperienced one in front of him. It seems that what Aaron wants Aaron will get ... at least for now.

Jeff Saturday is no longer a Colt and that makes me sad. I guess he wasn't ready to hang it up and wear a suit or a polo on the sidelines and maybe after two more seasons the offer will still be good and Jeffy will be a Colt again and on the sideline telling people how to do it the right way.

Peyton got a 28.

Eli got a 39.

[braveheartcolt]

The test will now be known as the WonderLuck.

[dgambill]

I know this means absolutely nothing but my brother works for the city in Indianapolis and has spoken to many people that said Jeff is one of the front runners to be the head of NFLPA after Smiths next 3 yr contract ends. Jeff was instrumental in the negotiatons this last time and was one of the leading spokesman for the players during the talks. He is very very intelligent and well-spoken and very well respected by players around the league. He certainly could take a job with a team or possibly with the Players Association as well. No matter what he will be fine because he is a very smart intelligent guy.

[GoColts8818]

Since it doesn't look like Saturday will be the Players Preisdent I would look for him to still come back in a front office role with the Colts or another team once he does retire.

[ColtsPRIDE11]

He'll be bad in some capacity for the Colts when he retires. Rest assured. That is unless he just doesn't want to do it at all.

sorry, correction: he'll be BACK in some capacity

no, manning had one of the all time high scores, so there's no "only got" about it.

[BleedBlu]

I wish j all the best, with these rough times in Indy he couldn't have gone to a better team

[indynorth]

I was surprised he went to GB and not Denver.

[Balzer40]

no, manning had one of the all time high scores, so there's no "only got" about it.

Thats not right. As Peyton and Eli fan pointed out he only got a 28. Thats not very high, but who cares, its not important.
