That's all good, I think that at some point you have to realize that you can't blame Luck's departure for all of Frank Reich's failures in Indy.

Reality: Team was still competitive and making playoffs after that and had 4 different starting QB’s .. There has to be credit giving for that..

He has more back to back winning seasons there as a HC than our Franchise has had in its history.  Despite working for one of the most dysfunctional front office and ownership in the league.

he was still 3-3-1 after he was instructed to play Sam Elinger this season prior to being fired for their owner to hire his buddy Jeff Saturday (who actually looks May be the permanent guy)

Right…I mean look how easy it’s been for us to replace our franchise QB…they grow on trees ha. It usually sets any franchise back. I don’t see how he could be blamed for that. Teams were poaching people from his staff so that says something..Buffalo’s the last team to poach any of our coaches🤣 his last 3 QBs were retreads, hopefully he’s seen enough of that

Frank Reich may spurn Chargers for mediocre head coaching job

this might be a bit biased of a writeup from a chargers fan page.

Frank Reich might be better off being the offensive coordinator of the LA Chargers.

 

Quote

That being said, Carolina has to be one of the worst coach openings to exist on the market. This is a small-market franchise that notoriously has not spent (nor been successful) during its existence. Carolina was not great in 2022 and is still a long way to go until they are a playoff-caliber team.

Does Reich really want to go to another team that is going to play quarterback roulette and make him coach some mediocre stopgap quarterback? That doesn't sound like a great time, and quite frankly, it could tank Reich's coaching stock.

Or, he could come to the LA Chargers to take the best coordinator job in the sport and boost his value. Nothing is guaranteed in the NFL but as long as Reich doesn't fall flat on his face, he will become one of the marquee head-coaching hires next cycle after unlocking Justin Herbert.

I agree, but the team still underwhelmed when it came down to crunch time. Also, the team never won a division championship under his leadership...against so-so competition.

his "failures" in indy were still better than most of the seasons in our franchise's history. it wasn't until the owner started meddling in an effort to give him a chance to hire his buddy the HC job that reich started actually losing. 

if reich was handicapped at all in indy, it was by irsay.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      By rayzor · Posted

      agreed. reich and fox were kind of similar in that i think their comfort zone with QBs were established vets.  any rookie QB would have been outside that. i do think that he might have been more comfortable with stroud than young, but i also still think that we would have been stuck in a bad place. there was more than went wrong than with the QB. nothing worked and QB issues were one of many symptoms of the problem that we found ourselves in with reich. the whole thing was too much for him. not only did he get a QB outside of his comfort zone, he got unfamiliar assistants that came from unfamiliar schemes. he had no prior relationship with most coaches he had added to his staff.  again, that staff was tepper's idea...get the dream staff with a billion years of experience and those who don't have a poo ton of experience were coaches that were considered up and comers for HC jobs.  reich is a mild-mannered passive likeable kind of guy. he wasn't the big dominant personality that would be needed to handle that staff.

      Panthers ranked as NFL's 2nd-worst roster

      By frankw · Posted

      I can't blame anyone in sports media for not believing we've made a big enough jump talent wise to compete. I mean let's be realistic. In the eyes of many of us here we were improved on paper under Scott Fitterer each offseason the last few years. Just because we're once again buying in doesn't mean the rest of the sports world will also. Then you go back to preseason last year and the downplaying of how horrific we looked not just offensively but as a whole. If we look competent in preseason  I will begin to feel some level of confidence about the direction of the team and so will those in the sports world. Until then nothing we've done matters.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Yeah we don't have a beast mode, and Bryce doesn't threaten with the play action/scramble deep shots. That's the majority of the reason that formula worked in Seattle during that stretch. I hope Brooks is a good back, but he's definitely not a beast mode type.
