It's actually been revealed since the firing that Irsay dumped Reich specifically so that he could hire Saturday.

Irsay went so far as to say that if Saturday hadn't been available, he wouldn't have fired Reich.

Yeah, it was all quite weird.  I mean, we're talking the AFCS, 3-3-1, with what's left of Matt Ryan as their QB.  It's not like it was some situation that was falling by the wayside.  Irsay directing the change to Ehlinger was just, very Irsay.

Given their division winner ended up 9-8, who knows what would've happened if they stayed course with Ryan, Taylor & Pittman.

Just announce Reich already.

What else would Jeff Saturday have been doing? Golf? A podcast?

Think he was working for ESPN.  So probably still on one of the shows there.

Don't ask me to explain Jim Irsay 

[Growl]

I was gonna make a thread prediction how it all played during the zenith of Payton hype and so far it looks like I’ve nailed it

->Payton hype fizzles then withers away 
->Steichen emerges as favorite candidate, long enough for everyone to get excited 
->team begins redirecting attention elsewhere in attempt to suppress expectations 
->Hires Frank Reich

shame I didn’t pull the trigger on posting it, so far it looks like it’s been spot on

As a HUGE Star Wars fan, I would pie the OP 1000 times if I could.

Unless Tepper is legitimately torn it makes zero sense not to make this hire today. Gives you a leg up in filling out a staff.

You had me at bickering and eating paste!

Love it!

It is possible they want to offer a second interview to someone else.

The team has guarded this process better than Fort Knox.
