Official: Colts Hire Frank Reich as their New HC - Signs Five Year Deal


Recommended Posts

Good move. I'm really pulling for Indianapolis now, I think Reich is the right man for the job, may actually be a better coach than McDaniels.

So it seems like Leslie Frazier was a Rooney Rule interview. The good thing is we get to keep him!  He did a great job with the defense last year.

Frazier will get his chance soon, he is a good coach. If our defense improves, he'll get offers I'm sure.

I don't think that's necessarily true. I'm almost positive that they already satisfied the Rooney rule before McDaniles was to be hired.

 

Frazier has connections to Indy and with Chris Ballard pretty dead set on running a Tampa 2 defense, Frazier would have been a very good fit, which is most likely why he got the interview.

That's what I thought. I wonder if he'll try to do that for the Colts or have his OC do it.

 

I read that they had been talking to Darrell Bevell about becoming the OC for awhile.  Not sure where that stands with the hiring of Reich.

Frazier was to make the owner happy. He never was getting the job. He won't be a HC in this league again
