Can help Luck (or whoever is the QB), has play-calling experience, just won a SB as part of a tremendous offensive coaching effort by Philly, and was part of their organization for 4 years, including an AFC title season.

Punching Bag Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I agree completely as was being discussed in another thread. Any team with a QB needing "tuning" or a new QB should consider Frank. Just now, BringBackFergy said: Have been saying this for years. Reich deserves a HC gig. Hard worker, dedicated, #lunchpail. Not just hard worker - smart and creative coach who builds consensuses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 If they are looking to hire a HC from the offensive side of things, I don't think there's a much better candidate floating around, as it were. McDaniels might have done the Colts a big favor, tbh, should they do that, as I think Reich would be a better guy to get the most out of Luck, than McDaniels, as I think McDaniels wants a Brady mk2 as his QB, and Luck is much more of a Manning 'type', but with a lot more mobility. I see Reich as way more adaptable than McDaniels, when it comes to types of offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw a video on NFL Network that said they have all signed contracts and were already breaking down film expecting to work with McDaniels. That's a tough situation right there. Unless you have praise for the people already in place why would any candidate take a HC gig with personnel already in place that he did not hand pick? There are only 32 spots in the world and their hard to get. Somebody will emerge from the shadows but don't expect a big name candidate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunk in Denver (and had another videotaping scandal there), and gets cold feet because he's afraid he'll get exposed away from Brady. Dude lacks confidence. I'll be surprised if he gets offered another HC gig (except Pats**, but have fun w/ that after Brady retires). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I am watching the press conference with Colts GM, Chris Ballard right now and he is doing a GREAT job! Talking about the Edwin Jackson tragedy, the Josh McDaniels situation, Andrew Luck, etc... He is very well spoken, took the blame for announcing "too early" and has a positive attitude rather than a finger pointing pity party. He is definitely earning my respect. Kudos!

buffaloboyinATL Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I love the comment he made about the rivalry with New England being back on.

I didn't need any convincing it's a good thing, McDaniels hasn't really done anything outside of NE as a HC. They can certainly find better As for Reich, I don't get the love outside of him being a former beloved Bills backup. He was let go in SD, goes to Philly where I believe the HC calls the plays and people keep talking about how great he is and would be a good option for a HC. I just don't see where he has shown he would be great at it. Not saying he wouldn't be, but what has he done that's so great as a co-ordinator? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 If I'm Frank Reich or really any NFL coach, I let Irsays call go straight to voicemail and forget to call back. Sorry but there is no way I would take the job right now. Now before the "Well there's only 32 of these positions" people chime in let me retort with a different number. There's only ONE career. Ask Mike Pettine or Chud about going to such a dysfunctional situation. Going to Indy at this late stage of the hiring process is career suicide. As head coach of the Colts you get: - A possible franchise QB with a murkey future at this point. - One of the most untrustable owners in the NFL - To be known as the guy that only got the job because someone else turned it down - A severely reduced coaching pool to assemble a staff from - A roster full of holes Just a no win situation. Indy will find someone to hire and most likely in 2-3 years they will be somewhat better, but whoever they hire here is nothing more than a "bridge coach". The coach they end up with will either be a guy that is nowhere near ready but taking the job to accelerate his options (much like Pettine) or someone that flamed out and needs to rebuild his resume (much like Chud who should have had more time.) One name that they may be able to get that would be, I think a nice hire...Jack Del Rio. I know the rumors about them wanting to hire an offensive guy, but Del Rio would be a nice "get" at this stage I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I am surprised he has not gotten more love during the head coach hiring circus. He only got let go because of Gruden, not necessarily because he did a bad job.

Freddie's Dead Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) You're assuming that Irsay has a brain. To quote Dorothy, "What would you do with a brain if you had one?" Frank Reich checks all the boxes and makes too much sense. And it's exactly why Irsay won't hire him.

To quote Dorothy, "What would you do with a brain if you had one?" Frank Reich checks all the boxes. Not really. Reich is such an unknown. Frank has very little control experience. What I mean by that, is that in both spots he was an OC, he was just an accessory and not the main guy. The one thing that was so great about McDermott is that he was given a lot of freedom in Carolina. I think that showed right away. Everything is so calculated and tight shipped. Indy needs someone who is going to come in and demand control. I fear that Reich will be too robin and not enough batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 1:26 PM ET Adam Schefter Chris Mortensen Frank Reich has emerged as the favorite to become the new head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, who are hoping to hire the Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator once they have negotiated a signed, sealed and delivered contract, league sources told ESPN. Colts general manager Chris Ballard finished an intensive round of interviews Saturday with Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. Reich was interviewed Friday, and New Orleans Saints assistant head coach/tight ends coach Dan Campbell was interviewed Thursday. The Colts renewed their search for a coach when New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels backed out of an agreement in principle after the team announced Tuesday that he would be introduced at a news conference Wednesday. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was such a Josh McDaniels thing to do. Hopefully Luck is ready to go next year as the league is better with him playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would any coach play the waiting game, especially for the Saints? The Colts have a young star QB right now and the ability to draft another if they so choose. Reich would need his head examined if he turned down the Colts to wait for a very much unguaranteed job with another organization.
