Interesting.  Did he not do it in Indy?  

I'm not sure to be honest.  I stopped following him after he signed with the Colts.  It appears he did at times so who knows? He did say that is one of the things he would change is focusing more on other aspects of the team and not just the offense.

If he hires an experienced OC, then I could see him giving up playcalling.

If he hires a young guy, I'd be more likely to expect he'll do it himself.

Pretty sure he hasn't said.

He's "open" to not calling them but I'm not certain that decision has been made yet.

He did call plays for the Colts.

He mentioned that he wasn't going to micromanage the offense and let his OC take care of that. He said he wasn't planning on calling the plays. Sounds like he doesn't want to anyway.

Good news on Campen and Tabor. It sounds like Reich was told to keep them on staff rather than just “encouraged.”  Smart move by Tepp/Fitt. 
 

Also, it seems clear our owner is willing to spend what it takes. Being that’s the main purpose of a sports team owner, I’m in the minority that’s happy with Tepper as our owner. We are forcing teams league wide to match what we are willing to pay. 

These are competitively natured guys. Money is not everything and it will not buy everything. We have seen this time and time again with players and coaches during Tepper’s tenure.

Countless players (with options) would never fathom going to the Browns in the past and this is no different -

You can’t be a dysfunctional, losing franchise and just expect to pay for wins/success. That mentality has been a big part of the issue all along.

Do you remember where you saw that?

I can't recall seeing anything definitive. Honestly, we've had little to no substantive discussion to this point.

(not that they're necessarily should be this early)

Honestly, he probably doesn't need to call plays. Once Indy began failing this past season, they scapegoated OC Marcus Brady when Reich was actually the play caller.

He said it in the first interview with the lady Balboni or whatever her name was. But he didn't go into much detail or give specifics. I would have to go back and listen again.

I really don't know what he will end up doing to be honest.  I'm just trying to figure out what they are doing just by going off what is actually said. This is misinformation season you know.

If we retain Tabor as STC, that's actually a under the radar coordinator that tends to get overlooked...and he's a good one!  Reich should sit down with him and just make sure they click on a personal level because we all know he can coach STs extremely well.  Then draw up the contract and check off that box for a coordinator.

Same with Campen, his influence on our OL can't be denied.  Another sit down and chat to make sure everything is kosher, agree to terms and get that contract signed too.

Can't remember where I saw it...someone did say that he wanted to take more of a CEO approach.

It was the interview on the official website.  It wasn't anything definitive, though.  It was more of a generalization about being a HC and having an OC calling plays.  It wasn't a firm statement like,  'I will not be calling plays as the HC.'  Reich wouldn't pigeon-hole himself like that.  Would he like an OC he's comfortable enough to call plays?  Absolutely.  However, if he can only land a green OC and not a experienced veteran play caller, I'm sure Frank will have some input.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
