Wilks and Reich is not what I'm looking for. How did we go from this awesome pool of Ben Johnson, Shane Steichen, etc. to these two? Also I'm sick of hearing how Reich was a brief part of the Panthers in 1995 as a QB, I really don't care.

But if he is a local guy that means he is destined to lead this team to 17-0 and to the Super Bowl. /s

Johnson chose to return to Detroit.

Reich isn't my top choice either but he's had success at HC and Wentz's best years statistically have all come under Reich.  Reich would be seen differently if Luck didn't abruptly retire, but I trust a young, new QB with Reich.  

Sometimes it is what it is.  At this point I just want an offensive-minded HC.  Plus he has great connections throughout the NFL.

No Roman please. I get a distinctly average feeling from him. Very Ben Macadooish. 

Any word on how the interview with Evero interview went or if there will be a 2nd? Based on what I am seeing now for me It's 1) Reich 2) Evero 

Not that I've seen.

John Ellis mentioned a couple of other staff options from previous connections.

Reich as head coach, Vic Fangio as DC, Greg Roman as OC...

That's...not a bad staff 🤔

IF that happens, I will feel much better about Reich. If it doesn’t I don’t have a good feeling about Reich. As I told you before I live near Indy so I’m surrounded by colts fans and listen to a lot of colts talk (radio, work chatter etc). You don’t have to believe me and that’s ok, but friends of mine have “sources” if you will, really just friends of theirs who know people associated with the colts. They did not have good things to say about Reich. The most glaring thing was the Wentz move they made was all him.

If Wilks has not interviewed with any other team there is no reason for a second interview.

can’t wait to hear the “Wilks had multiple interviews for head coaching positions” argument around here

you’ve gotta understand the most important thing when you’re hunting for a coach is whether or not they’re from the area

Those are much better names then Roman IMO. From what I understand with Roman is the run game is good but he can't develop a passing game ( google RG3 remarks regarding this ). Staley would be interesting if he learned a lot from Ben Johnson while there.

he had three winning seasons in Indy with no QB.  thats a lot of charm if you ask me

 

get him a QB to develop. 

Exactly and he was instrumental in Wentz earlier success.  Compare Wentz with Reich to Wentz without.

I think it is fair to be a bit underwhelmed but Reich has proven he can get a team to the playoffs.  And he can develop a young QB and assemble a solid staff.  Lets remember it was Reich who had Sirianna at OC and Eberflus at DC, both are HCs.  Also Jonathan Gannon and Mike Groh.

The ability to build a good staff is just as important as the HC itself.  And Reich has proven he can bring in great assistants.

I'm good with Reich, if a tad underwhelmed. He's got a lot of staff connections, and he got fuged over in Indy. He had the Colts in position to make the playoffs last season after an 0-3 start until Wentz completely poo the bed in the final two games (they were 9-6 and needed one win to make it). That would've put the Colts in the playoffs for the 3rd time in 4 years and with four different QBs in those 4 years. Prior to Irsay's meddling this year, he had a 37-28 record as HC (.569 win %). 

I think he's as good of a candidate if you want someone with experience, someone on the offensive side of the ball, and someone who can get the most out of a QB. I was hoping we'd go with Steichen or Ben Johnson, but I don't think Reich is a bad consolation prize.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
