After taking over as interim head coach of his beloved Indianapolis Colts during the 2022 season, Jeff Saturday has a new job – but it’s not in coaching.
On Tuesday, Saturday returned to ESPN at the desk of Get Up as an analyst alongside Dan Graziano, Dominique Foxworth and Robert Griffin III. Prior to the show they did a little skit where Saturday showed up with a plate of pancakes – a running gag.
“Good to be back with fellas!!” Saturday tweeted during the show.
Fans and fellow analysts were happy to see Saturday back in his role as an analyst:

“Jeff!!! Welcome back brother,” Damien Woody replied.
“Good to have you back Coach Saturday,” Robert Griffin III wrote.
“we appreciate your sacrifice, we would not have AR without you,” a Colts fan joked, referencing his poor record as the Colts’ interim head coach.
Saturday went just 1-7 as interim coach of the Colts last year after Frank Reich was fired.
Pretty much everyone agrees that Saturday is more suited to being a studio analyst than an NFL head coach right now.
