Whereas the transfer was unprecedented and even a bit disrespectful to Frank Reich, calling it the “most egregious factor” to occur within the NFL is a little bit of a stretch. There have been far larger points the league has handled than the hiring of a former participant with no teaching expertise.
Irsay actually deserves blame for appearing impulsively and with out rationale, nevertheless it’s onerous guilty Saturday for taking the chance. He’s made it clear he has a love for Indianapolis and a ardour for being a frontrunner, and it’s not like he’s a no one. Saturday, in any case, did earn six Professional Bowl nods and two All-Professional alternatives whereas working with Peyton Manning.
The teaching life is undoubtedly a grind, and it’s one which takes full dedication.
So whereas Irsay’s motivation and rationale are extraordinarily questionable, we shouldn’t be blaming Saturday for leaping on the probability to educate within the NFL.
And the transfer, whereas unprecedented, actually shouldn’t be considered “probably the most egregious factor” to occur within the league.
