Colts hire Reich

They said much worse thing about Pederson when he was hired. Think Pederson's only experience has a HC was at the High School level and then worked under Reid where we all know he runs the offense on his teams.  Hope Reich does well in Indy and I agree he will have his hands full but so did Pederson with cleaning up Chip Kelly's mess in Philly. 

As far a Reich's replacement, will most likely be a promotion from within for Duce Staley. 

You never know how it is going to work out until after the fact. He has been in the league and worked under several head coaches. I hope it pays off for him. I find it interesting that some guys get fast tracked while others seem to wait forever to receive an offer from anyone.  Especially when the fail rate seems high for most head coaches let alone new ones on their first job.

Getting confirmation on something I suspected now.

In previously contemplating Reich as a head coach, one of the things I wondered was whether he would run an offense that included some K-Gun type concepts. Word coming out of Indy now is that Reich plans to run an aggressive, up-tempo, no huddle attack.

Basically, Andrew Luck will be playing the role of Jim Kelly.

I always thought Reich was a good QB.  I remember (although age is playing tricks on it) the "K-Gun" back in the day.  It won a lot of games, shame it didn't get them any titles.  I still can't believe they lost 4 straight SB's with that offense.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
