Why are people saying Frank Reich

Never ran an RPO offense? He was the offensive coordinator for the 2017 Eagles who road the RPO that made Nick Foles a SB MVP?

He was the OC but the HC built and ran the offense. He never called the plays from what I have read.

Reich is earing 9M a year through 2026 from both the Colts and Panthers!

 

18m per year total to do nothing he pulled a good con

I would have taken the money over coaching either team too. The HC doesn't usually run the team so it's not like he hired and payed himself. Getting out of a contract with that much cash is a solid move for him and his, especially given the situation.

He did a bad job but it was also a bad job.

There is a LOT that solid coaching can make up for and coaches turn teams around all the time his fat checks ✔️

And there is a lot it can't cover up also.

Nothing about a job with the Panthers sounds great. Millions vs working for the Teppers and their dysfunction? Only a young guy would tough that out to try and keep his career off life support.

As others have said, Pederson was the brains behind the offense. Reich's job was to relay to the QB and essentially more hands off with playcalling.

And, well, as this season has shown, he's out of his element both in design and practice. He seemingly showed zero ability to be effective when it comes to playcalling and coming up with innovative designs. 

His firing was well warranted. Whether you believe in Bryce Young or not, Reich did him no favors by being inflexible to Young's strengths, and the offense as a whole.

I posted this in CRA's thread with the Kyle Bailey tweet that got this thought process going before seeing this thread:

 

Kyle Bailey gave more insight on his show yesterday about this tweet. It's not to imply that Frank has never run RPO (which he clearly has) - moreso it's that when people inside the organization brought up this idea he basically just said "no that's not something I want to do here".

    • I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.
    • I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
