I agree with John on this one, would love to see Reich, think he would put together a very strong staff and he could develop a rookie QB. The QBs he had to work with in Indy…

Rooting hard for Frank Reich. Can't believe it came to this but desperate times

[trueblade]

Reich feels like the compromise between Steichen and Wilks. Head coach experience, but offensive minded.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

 

I'll take it. Reich would be an instant upgrade at coach. As we saw with Wilks, an actual NFL head coach would have had this team performing years ago.

No more time to waste. Plug and play Reich.

Nobody wanted us and nobody else wanted Wilks. We got each other though. 6-11 for life. Everyone better get on the mediocre bus now before it takes off.

[Mr. Scot]

Not wasting time, indeed

I actually like this idea. As I said, my ideal scenario at this point is HC Wilkes, OC Reich, and DC Fangio (though I realize he is less likely). Another awesome DC hire would be Evero if their new coach does not want him (also unlikely).

Frank Reich shouldn't have been fired from the Colts. That organization is a mess from the top down and the fact he had the success he did after Luck unexpectedly retired was a miracle. He will need a strong DC to create a competitive team though. Eberflus had that defense humming and the main reason the team sucked in 2022 aside from Matt Ryan being washed out was their defense took a hard fall from grace. 

That said, Frank Reich just feels like a bland hire. Won't excite the fanbase, but might produce results on the field. Best thing he has going for him is he might have a good chance to develop a rookie QB.

Why would anyone want to coach for this train wreck of a franchise. Tepper has soiled his reputation since day 1

I told everyone it was going to be focused on an experienced HC. The young coordinator interviews were to gage where thier mindsets were at and compare plans and such. 

 

It was always going to be a experienced coach after the Rhule experiment.  

 

Why I said yesterday that I'd expected Wilks, Reich, Payton to get second interviews and Steichen if he agreed to the front office Coordinator plans for a younger coach.
