“Something very unique,” Tom Brady voices honest opinion on Colts’ most talked about hiring of HC Jeff Saturday

The Indianapolis Colts created huge shockwaves in the NFL last week after owner Jim Irsay announced Jeff Saturday as the new franchise head coach. The unprecedented appointment created plenty of murmurs in the media, and finally, veteran quarterback Tom Brady has joined in on the discussion.
Jeff Saturday had zero experience of being a head coach in the NFL previously, and that was one of the things that worked to his advantage, according to Jim Irsay. While Saturday’s rise from working in the media to an NFL head coach can be termed as meteoric, Brady, however, would not follow his path if given the choice.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback termed the inexperienced hiring as “something unique,” and did not want to rush into a judgment with the fact that there’s still plenty of football to be played in the season.
Tom Brady credited Jeff Saturday for leading the Colts to a victory against the Raiders
“Well, it was obviously unprecedented and to go from his role, what he was working on in media, to that in the middle of the season is something very unique. And, obviously, Jim Irsay had a great relationship with him,” Brady said on Monday’s episode of Jim Gray’s Let’s Go podcast.
“So it’s a long season and Jeff got the team, you know, found a way to win and they’re 1-0. And I think for all of us, not just for Jeff and the Colts, but for our team, the season is everything’s ahead of us and time will tell on all of what happens.”
“So we have a very small sample size. It always feels good to win. It sucks when you lose. The success of a season is determined by what happens over the length of the season. So there’s still a lot more football to have happen,” Brady said on the show as reported by Fox News.
To give credit where’s due, Jeff Saturday oversaw the Indianapolis Colts to an impressive victory against the Las Vegas Raiders in his debut fixture, silencing his critics to a certain extent.
