Did Steve Smith influence Tepper into firing Frank Reich?

I’m just listening to Steve Smith talk about how Bryce was a RPO QB in college, and how his rookie year he didn’t do any RPO in Frank Reich’s offense. We know how Frank was asked to add it by Tepper and he said no. I have to think that Steve has a line to Tepper’s ear and he had at least a tinge of influence telling Tepper that Reich’s offense wasn’t a fit for Bryce and later fired him. Steve is also talking about scheme fit and how it’s the most important thing for an offense and now Bryce will use RPO more under the new coaching staff and what a difference it will make. 

I have to think Steve wasn’t shy about telling Tepper these things last year.

Maybe. Maybe not. I have heard Steve point that Mingo was a certain type of receiver in college who ran and was successful at certain routes and then in Reich’s offense they had him playing somewhere completely different and running routes he wasn’t as good at. So basically, seeing his players up to not succeed just to fit his scheme got him fired

Mingo's best position is a big slot, which doesn't really work with our personnel.  He got thrown into a situation he was totally unfamiliar with last season.

No I influenced Tepper into firing Frank.

 

Do you not remember me slandering him all preseason? Even before the season started I said this guy might actually be a downgrade from Rhule. I took the heat, but I was the one who was right.

 

I know HC's bro.

How did Tepper respond when you told him to stop meddling?

I think at some point in the season Reich basically fired himself. There was not any influence needed.

One day we will get a full story of how everything went down. Just expect to hear some things that will surprise you.

Tepper had reservations about the hire in the preseason.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
