Was Frank Reich the problem?

Fitterer was the main problem. Reich's heart just wasn't in it anymore.

I don't think Tepper ever like Frank. Even during his first press conference, Tepper pronounced his name wrong and was uninterested. The media reported that it was a committee made up of himself, Scott, and other that hired Frank. 

I personally think Scott just did not want Wilks for whatever reason. 

With Canales it was just Tepper, Morgan, and the outside firm that the 49ers and Eagles used which is promising.

Seemed that way to me too. Felt like he was in a different camp and didn't get his way so he just said fug it.

Wouldn't you too though? If CJ was his choice, and judging just by the type of QB Frank tended to coach, he was, Tepper coming in and making that choice for him just cut his legs out. Would you want to work somewhere that you were required to be the leader but weren't allowed to lead?

I believe the reports that he wanted Derek Carr and BPA in the draft.

Hard to know what happened behind the scenes. Did he take the job thinking he was going to have more control over the QB decision? Was it due to a miscommunication or was it due to him overestimating how influential he'd be? No idea.

Either way, no I wouldn't just mail it in because I didn't get my way unless I was flat out told it was going to be my pick the. They jerked the rug out from under me. Otherwise I'd try to make the best of it.

He wasn't even happy the night they interviewed him at his house like right after it was announced lol.

You ask if Frank was the problem as if we were good this year. We went 5 and 12.

Our receiving core consisted of Mingo, Chark, and Terrace Marshall last year and we had one of the worst offensive lines in football.

Adding Coker, Legette and Sanders and the additions to our OLine. I’m sure Reich could win a couple more games as well. 

How would Frank do with the defense that allowed the most points in NFL history?

Fitterer did not want Wilkes because he would have exposed Scott for the fraud he is. 

Scott Fitterer may be the worst GM in the history of the NFL.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
