I turned on local sports radio for the first time in forever today because I was interested to hear more about Frank Reich and the hire, etc. and the first thing I hear is the douchenozzle host ask some guest “Does Steve Wilks get the job if he’s white?” And the douchenozzle guest replies “Well if Joe Brady had been a better coordinator and then named interim coach they would have made him head coach in November because he’s young and white and was an OC.” Like wtf is wrong with people.

He mentioned he wanted to speak with the team before doing anything else in the video interview you posted.  That will take some doing to bring them all together since everyone is scattered out everywhere in the offseason.

Does WFNZ hate the Panthers or something? All their doing is bagging on them for not hiring Wilks and saying Reich won’t make it here

They arent the only ones. Jim Rome just spent an entire segment on it. Says Wilks earned the job, and implying he was canned because Wilks let the cat out of the bag that Tepper was tanking.

Race radio gets clicks. It gets listeners really engaged and gets a lot of emotional responses. I haven’t listened to WFNZ in ages, suggest you do the same. Look at the threads here about Wilks.

They traded CMC immediately after they fired Rhule.  There was no cat to let out of the bag. 

Tepper just didn't account for how horrific Matt Rhule actually was.  And that just running the most simplistic stuff highlighted how the NFL is in fact designed for teams to go .500.  Takes special people to go drastically north or south of .500.

Wilks said in a post gamer presser that the team was trying to tank. The T word. Can’t imagine that made Tepper very happy. 
 

Ruhle was a catastrophically bad hire here. Wilks did a really good job of getting some stability and respect back to the team in 12 games.

What presser was that? I tuned out pretty early on.

He clarified it.  He was telling the players to ignore the media narrative that they are tanking and inspired them to play through all of the changes.  It's nothing really and had nothing to do with Reich getting the job.  Tepper wants a QB more than anything and Reich is more equipped to find and develop one since he was a QB, OC, and HC successfully.  People also keep leaving out the fact Wilks had no other interviews to be HC.  The league knows his style of play is dated and no one aside from us was interested in him being a HC.

Jake Query who covers the colts was just on WFNZ to talk about Reich.

 

- Indy fans happy to see him get another opportunity in a better situation.

- Reich is a Players coach.  Players loved him.

- was good year 1 then year 2 was caught off guard by Lucks retirement in preseason.

- Rivers was brought in the next season because Reich had coached him in San Diego.

-Rivers retired so they scrambled and Reich vouched to trade for Wentz who he had success with.

 

- Wentz refused to get vaccinated which was a controversy.  Wentz ended up getting covid late that year and missed some practice.

-at the end of the Season, Irsay told Reich he never wanted to see Wentz again.  They then went onto trade for Ryan.  
 

- few games into this season.  Irsay told Reich that he was to bench Ryan for Elinger.  Then eventually fired Reich.  Hired Saturday which they then went back to Ryan.

-mentioned OL injuries this year early.  And no one outside of Pittman weapons wise.

The good news is this won’t last. There will be another hot button topic soon enough. Especially if the Colts hire Jeff Saturday

Irsay kind of looking like a genius for making Saturday interim and not having to deal with all this race baiting nonsense.

      And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection.

      It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
