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.

      And again, the TLDR of the above is........ My expectations for T-Mac's rookie season have nothing to do with him and more because of my expectations for the rest of the WR room. I think his 2nd season when we then lose Thielen and replace him by just shifting everyone else up a spot in the pecking order and replace him with an end of the bench guy, is when he explodes for a huge yardage season. XL and Coker wouldn't make a good 1/2 combo with Thielen in the slot.  But T-Mac as the 1 with Thielen in the slot has the real potential to make XL/Coker an actual elite 2/4 combo.  Drafting T-Mac drastically changes the potential impact of those two, if anything, that's the biggest thing taking him did to the offense. Because honestly, how many teams have a 3rd and 4th receiving option as good as XL and Coker?

      good one though it’s really no joke. I know a few friends and family members that suffer with this condition.

      There's nothing normal about a 73 year old dating a 24 year old and a wildly successful NFL coach going to the college level in his twilight years is unprecedented. Yeah, raving success or absolute clown show. We'll see how it plays out on the field but this is why I was always very apprehensive about going after Belichick. The odds of it going the clown show route seem to be increasing by the day.
