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.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
