Colt’s Hiring of Jeff Saturday

Welcome to the Sports and Compliance podcast. For the longest time, I have wanted to have a podcast on the intersection of Sports and the World of Compliance and Ethics, both for those stories as they play out on the Sports Page and for the lessons they provide to business executives and compliance professionals. In this podcast series, I am joined by one of the top compliance commentators, Stephen Martin, CCO at Skillsoft. Together, we will use our love of sports and competition to discuss current ethical issues in sports, look at compliance through a sports lens, and determine how the world of sports and its stories can guide the compliance professional.

In this episode, we consider the hiring by the Indianapolis Colts of Jeff Saturday to be a head coach. Saturday is a former All-Star player, playing most of his career for the Colts. He was hired as interim coach after Frank Reich’s firing. Owner Jim Irsay hired him. We consider whether he was hired to tank and the implications around that issue. The Colts did not follow the Rooney Rule, and we consider that issue. What does this hire say about the NFL coaching fraternity? Saturday won his first game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

We take a deep dive into the hire through a corporate compliance program lens and consider what happens if you bring in an inexperienced CCO to run your compliance function.
