And all the Colts had to do was beat the league-worst Jacksonville Jags to get into the playoffs on the last game of the regular season in 2021 and they pissed their pants. Lost to a bad Raiders team the week before and then went to Jacksonville and were never in the game.

iirc, the defenses he had were epically bad

 Cool

vs the guy who was 1 game out of the playoffs with the roster that was double the betting odds for the #1 pick as the next team when he took over 

He did better in 1 year than the guy we are looking to hire with Jones and not Luck. Cool 

Luck was also ruined under his watch and retired early. Cool

Reich did BETTER with Phillip Rivers halfway in the retirement home than Daboll did this season.

Thing is

I don’t think Reich would prefer a OC role and Wilks wouldn’t prefer a Coordinator role.  Both want HC roles.

if Reich comes in.  Think he wants his guys like a Gus Bradley at DC instead of Wilks.

I know it is unlikely, but it would be sweet if they could work out the dynamics of it. It would require Wilks to be the motivator and overall manager and let his coordinators run their side of the house.

It's unreasonable to expect either man to take a lesser position. It's one or the other. Neither are a spring chicken so you aren't making a 10 year hire. If it's between the two roll the dice on a new vision for the offense for the next few years and cultivate a staff where you may have a young coordinator ready to possibly step into the role in the next several years or so.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
