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

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.
