Colts Jim Irsay defends firing of Frank

owner Jim Irsay has gotten lots of pushback for his firing of head coach Frank Reich and subsequent hiring of interim Jeff Saturday. And every Charvarius Ward Jersey time, he's fired back with comments of his own. He upon introducing Saturday. He called "bulls---" on . And now, in the wake of coach Nick Sirianni dedicating his recent win over Indianapolis to Reich, Irsay has spoken up again, his decision was best for the organization, and that the ex-coach is still "like family.""It's not personal," Irsay said of Reich's dismi sal, per Stephen Holder. "It's the very opposite from being personal."Sirianni, who spent three seasons under Reich with the Colts, was seen hollering to the Indy crowd after the Eagles' 17-16 win over the team: "That s--- was for Frank Reich!" Afterward, he teased a sort of vendetta against the Colts, telling reporters "you don't want to know what I think (about) if (Reich) should Derrick Nnadi Jersey be here or not, but you guys can probably imagine what I really think."Irsay, meanwhile, insists that he not only remains close with Reich, but that he gave the coach unprecedented support. "Frank is a treasured friend of my family and all my daughters," Irsay said. "We go back a long, long way. I'm very, very close to Frank, and I've known Frank for many decades. He's like Patrick Mahomes Jersey family. ... (And) I've been doing this for over 50 years, and I've never, ever, ever, ever given a coach an extension when there's two years left on the contract. But (I did) because of the closene s with him and our family, and because I hoped that maybe it would be something that would help strengthen him in his position and his own belief."

Because Saturday, unlike other Colts legends with zero college or coaching experience, emerged as the man ready for the job, according to Irsay. "You have to make a decision that's in the best interest, in your belief, of the franchise going forward," Irsay reiterated. "It's not personal. ... People think that Jeff was gonna come in (and) be a miracle worker. I mean, what kind of delusional trip were they on? They have their original narrative and anything that goes against that narrative, they don't wanna write until they have to. And eventually they will. They'll see the light. But all we can do is focus on Pittsburgh, and then when the offseason hits, we'll do a serious and dedicated interview proce s, which I'm looking Tyreek Hill Jersey forward to."
