He may not be first in line on blame for those but unless he was screaming 'NO' then he was probably part of the problem. Just those 2 moves will is enough to fire a HC and/or GM. When they got Ryan I knew it was going to end poorly over there. And after Wentz like they learned nothing. 

I don't know that he had much say in personnel decisions.

(he certainly didn't have Matt Rhule's contract)

All GMs listen to their coaches to some extent though, and it's not hard to believe Reich may have thought he could fix Wentz's issues

I'd take him as a QB coach for sure, possibly even as an OC.

Interestingly in a tangental tree to Steichen who followed the same LAC to PHI path as Reich. 

Still want Steichen as HC more than anything and would trust with his staff build.  Especially how Herbert looks with him gone and Hurts looks with him in PHI.  He's got something going on.  He's got his pulse on the modern ballgame.

One could argue he masked them about as well as any head coach could have at this stage of his career.  Look at Wentz #s with the Colts last year and his #s with the Commanders this year.  Numbers don't tell the whole story of course but Wentz was producing way more across the board.  

I think Reich will definitely get an interview here.  Experienced, offensive-minded head coach.  Not sure if we would hire him but an interview for sure

Roaring Riot is asking the question...

That wasn't Reich's fault, though he may have believed he could fix Wentz.

I know he was downright awful in that season finale game against Jax but stats wise Reich did a decent job with Wentz

Wentz threw a career high 15 ints in 2020 in 12 games. Reich brought that number down to 7 in 17 games in 2021. Wentz has 6 ints already this year in just 6 games

An ex-QB HC drafting HIS rookie QB in year-1 could not be set up better.

What experience does he have developing a rookie? Indy seemed to prefer the vet approach during his tenure.

I think I'd still prefer someone from the Shanahan tree.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
