The Indianapolis Colts will face the Raiders later today in Las Vegas and they will do so with their new interim head coach, Jeff Saturday, taking them into battle for the first time since his surprising hiring last Monday.
Saturday, of course, has only been a coach at the high school level and now he’s getting his chance to lead a NFL team thanks to the controversial decision by owner Jim Irsay.
The decision to go with Saturday as their head coach has brought out a lot of criticism, and rightfully so – it might be the dumbest move in NFL history.
Hall of Fame coach Bill Cowher weighed in on the move during the CBS pregame show on Sunday and he didn’t hold back at all as he passionately explained why he thinks it was a “disgrace to the coaching profession.”

Hard to argue with Cowher there.
