People criticize the Colts' hire of Jeff Saturday. It was :52.
The Indianapolis Colts hiring of interim head coach Jeff Saturday is being looked at by the Fritz Pollard Alliance.
"In light of the recent interim head coaching hire in Indianapolis, the FPA has initiated an inquiry with the NFL into whether this hiring process conformed with NFL hiring guidelines for naming an interim head coach," the statement read.
The Rooney Rule, which requires teams to interview at least two minority candidates for head-coaching positions, doesn't apply to interim head coach appointments. McCarthy said that the team would need to conduct a search that complies with the Rooney Rule after the season.
It's not clear what guidelines are being questioned. The message was not immediately returned.
Colts owner Jim Irsay, who in 2002 hired Tony Dungy, the first Black coach to win a Super Bowl, said after hiring Saturday there will be a full process of reviewing permanent head coach, which we will have an interview process for. It is for eight games.
He told the reporter that there was no problem or perception except for some of them.
