Talking about a .547 win % as if that's a great record. Guess what Rivera's win % was in Carolina? .546% and folks couldn't wait to run him out of here. Reich is and always has been a mediocre head coach. 

I think part of Holder's point is that he had an interfering owner with the Colts as well. In that case, one who actually dictated to him who he'd start at quarterback.

What we really need is an owner whisperer.

Well at least Tepper has hired on his young trophy wife in an official team capacity. And like so many brave pioneers before her, when she realizes she doesn’t have to be married to the old billionaire for herself to be a billionaire, she will divorce him, take half the team in a settlement, some typical allegations of impropriety will surface and the outrage mob will force a sale. I figure another 4-6 years of this before the team gets sold again. My vote is for the Saudi’s. Say what you want about human rights abuses, the guys know how to throw money at a problem to fix it!

Bullshit. That only happened in his last few games there. I give Reich the benefit of the doubt when it comes to having to roll with Brissett when Luck retired right before the season, but I don't think Irsay was the one pushing Reich to go for Rivers, Wentz, or Ryan. I firmly believe all three of those, and especially Wentz, were guys Reich advocated for.

People tout Reich's record with 5 different starting QBs as if that's not an indictment of Reich. I think Tepper is probably embarrassed that he bought into this QB whisperer aura when all Reich is proven, especially post Sirianni, is that he can put together a plodding offense with a veteran QB. Not surprised that @Leaky_Faucet has mentioned time and again that Reich wanted Carr here rather than a rookie QB. BTW, Carr looks like garbage in New Orleans too, so that doesn't reflect well on Reich either IMO.

I looked it up, yeah, it looks like you are right, he only lasted 3 games before resigning as Falcons head coach

I was wrong, he lasted 13 games so he is not the first, I looked it up Pete McCulley is the shortest with 9 games unless you count Belichick who only lasted 1 day or George Allen who lasted 2 preseason games

It happened before that.

Holder had an extensive story about Reich's last year in Indianapolis and the absolute sh-t show that resulted in Jim Itsay hiring (and trying to keep) Jeff Saturday as his head coach.

I'm sure Reich was happy to get away from Irsay, but then he got stuck with David Tepper.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By Basbear · Posted

      Also maybe the biggest part is his fromer college buddy, Lord Lamar told the GM to sign him. It was done nearly right after and guess who was the first person Alexander met at ravens stadium??
