Two videos of Mike Lombardi from the Pat McAfee show...

The idea of Reich being "broken" from some of his prior experiences actually make a lot of sense. As mentioned before, some of his choices here were just baffling.

Also, his statement that the job could be considered desirable if it comes with a 6 year guaranteed contract is consistent with what's been said elsewhere.

And McAfee's final comment is correct: Tepper still has to make the right choice.

Which we know he can't do because of his ego....

What part of selecting Reich in the first place was ego?

Reich had several positive aspects in his corner:

  • Winning Record as an NFL HC, with nothing but turnover at QB in IND
  • A SB ring within the past 5-7 years as an OC with PHI
  • Extensive Coaching / Playing experience
  • Had the ties to put together a good staff -- Thomas Brown was lauded in the media as an up and comer, Evero was getting HC interviews, Caldwell, and also Capers as respected advisors. 

----------------------------------------------------------

There was a lot to like about the Reich hire, even if you are one who preferred Wilks (myself). The hire just didn't work out, and firing a guy at 1-10 while the team shows NO signs of improvement; I can't fault him for that.

What Lombardi said about rake having "PTSD" might actually help explain a lot.

Most of the positives that you have about Frank Reich were things that came before the Wentz thing and his last few years with the Colts.

Had we hired the pre-Wentz Frank Reich, maybe things could have gone smoother.

As it is though, no it didn't work out.

He's not wrong here, but Mike Lombardi is a joke in general. He's a Josh McDaniels/Patriots media plant.

I keep seeing these comments about all talking heads and reporters. It makes me wonder if there's anyone believable...or contrarily, maybe they're all shills for someone at the end of the day as they all have experience and are connected to some others--and human nature means that they'll inevitably be softer on some more than others.

The NFL Industrial Complex is just the WWE maybe.

  • Winning Record as an NFL HC, with nothing but turnover at QB in IND ....Had Andrew Luck for most of it
  • A SB ring within the past 5-7 years as an OC with PHI  All Doug Penderson...Frank managed the water boys.
  • Extensive Coaching / Playing experience ... Shame on him for thinking Bryce was going to translate to the NFL.. Which makes it the right move to fire his ass....
  • Had the ties to put together a good staff -- Thomas Brown was lauded in the media as an up and comer, Evero was getting HC interviews, Caldwell, and also Capers as respected advisors.   Capers just worried about dying his hair...looks like Ernest Angley.. Caldwell and Capers are fossils who took free money...And Frank set them up...

Meathead thought he could fast track it again without giving it any thought...thats ego...

Dude, you're first point is so insanely wrong it hurts.  He had Luck his first season in 2018, 2019 he retired before the season and they had jacoby brissett, third year they had the final year of Phillip rivers career, next was Carson Wentz, and his final year in Indy he had Matt Ryan.  In no world did he have andrew luck for "most of it".  also its pretty openly known now that Reich wanted Stroud, Tepper wanted Young, so we took young.

 

Reich is a trashcan of a coach, but we don't have to make up stuff to prove our point.

      I moved to Atlanta for work, in June 1995. Almost the same for a Panthers fan.  This was pre internet at least for me, and there was no coverage unless we played the Falcons.  As a Panthers fan I hated that because I was super excited we had our own team finally and I was missing it.  I remember going to a bar and watching us beat SF maybe in our first year. But not much chance to watch games.  This prompts me to bitch that an expansion team’s first year was better than anything Tepper has been able to assemble.

      I get what you're trying to say, but I have seen Tetairoa open a plenty and  Hunter Renfrow open a plenty, but Bryce just misses what are supposed to be routine throws. Bryce's arm isn't Mahomes' arm, and he certainly doesn't have the plus mobility (basically the backyard-ball mentality and athleticism to run around until someone's open) and ability to make throws off platform that Mahomes' does.  We also have at least two TEs that get open on the regular, as well as two RBs that can catch and get open as well. Not to mention that Jalen Coker gets open on the regular when in. I just ain't buying that he doesn't have enough weapons. Legette gets open at times as well, not to mention Tremayne. If Bryce would just time his passes better and do it more consistently, it would open up the offense. His issues, at least in my mind, come down to one main thing: his height. He developed consistently bad mechanics over the years to overcome his inability to see the field, and while he got away with it pre-NFL, in the NFL where guys are a little bigger, a lot faster, and more experienced with decidedly more motivation to consistently do their jobs, Bryce is coming up short.
