That is awesome. 

 

I suggested a while ago that it was crazy to assume Reggie would be a coach on the field for the younger receivers, and I'm here to eat my words.  Reggie is a special guy, and we are lucky he has been and will remain a Colt!

[CR91]

how many asst coaches do you know making the money reggie is making

[Nadine]

I love this and I love Reggie!

[Valpo2004]

It's a good idea to keep Reggie with the team for leadership purposes.  This gives them an official reason why an IR player is on the sidelines and in the locker room.  

[BronxColtNYC]

I think it says a lot about his future plans. Why not hire him when he retires? He knows the playbook and even has the chemistry with players that look up to him. I think he'd be be a great fit on a pagano staff.

I agree many times we have thrown around the idea of Peyton working here after he retires why not him and Reggie lol

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

I've heard a lot of good things about this Reggie guy.  Good hire.

[TKnight24]

Leave it to the to do something like this. We seriously should be banned from the NFL. Having Reggie Wayne as your coach is downright cheating

[CanuckColt]

Fantastic!  Way to go, Reggie.

We could not have anyone better.

Peyton working here? I thought it sounded stupid at first but then I thought, Elway.

He'd probably be a great GM if he wanted.

[GoDeep]

Love me some 87!

[GoColts8818]

Glad we are keeping Reggie around he will help.

[Gavin]

Good decision...Dont think it will have a big impact on games however, More of a well deserved title and way of making sure he is involved in teachng and staying involved with th rest of the team

Reggie Wayne was the reason for Ty Hilton's 2nd half dominance. I don't know what he said to him, but it worked

[The Fish]

This really speaks more to Reggie's desire to be around this squad and the game. I can't see the future, but I think he's got a better shot of coming back than almost anyone his age with that injury.

TY said what Reggie said to him. "You owe me this one, man. Just go out there and do what you do. Just go have fun."

it was quoted what he said, forget where I read it, "You owe me one" was part of it

[BrentMc11]

Coach when on the field....Coach when off!  L E A D E R S H I P!!!!!!!!!

 

[pgt_rob]

Go Reggie, go! Best paid coach out there.

[Coltssouth]

Poor guy can't even get any time off for an injury. 

[CanuckColt]

I disagree...Reggie has a big positive influence on how well his WR group plays.

He has mentored all of them and can help them play/adjust throughout the game.

This is WAYYYY more than symbolic.

[Cleburne]

Good deal.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

Now he needs to make DHB the 4th WR and let ty, Brazil, and whalen get the bulk of the reps

[Monster]

If true this ranks right up there with Tom Moore and Howard Mudd!!

Sorry...DHB be is still going to be a disappointment no matter what Reggie says, It stinks and I wish it was different but DHB is who many thought he was, Hilton is going to have his ups and downs, Now clearly TY has shown Reggie has had an influence on him but there is going to be ups and downs with him, We just have to hope there will be plenty of ups to keep winning, But TY needs to continue to get plenty of oppurtunities in one way or another, he is dangerous with the ball in his hands

With all the Incognito stuff being reported on, this is a breath of fresh air.

Seems to be a different brand of leadership in the Colts organization, than there is in Miami.

was thinking that myself.  This is true Leadership. Leadership by fear will always cause problems.  Leadership with character is a sign of a champion.

[ThatOneColtFan]

Reggie.

 

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Cool!!

[corgi]

Hopefully that is a title he takes when he retires.

[MIColtsFan]

Fantastic idea and obviously a right choice. This is win, win, win, win...for everyone! I hope the camera people provide lots of good side line shots of Reggie, he so darn cute and that helmet won't be getting in the way! 

[John Dee]

This is simply a great idea and reinforces just HOW important Reg is.    

 

He is a fantastic leader.   And a stabilizing presence.

[HGRekks]

I've long loved the idea of player-coaches, just not in the sense of George Halas. I think letting a guy fulfill positional or assistant coaching duties while being an active player is a good thing both in regards to the fact that it allows them to experience coaching and develop in that manner during their career and it builds that teamwork and chemistry that teams need.

 

Just don't allow them to make coaching decisions.

 

Though the concept is somewhat moot, as older QBs are often used as player-coaches for younger players. Hasselbeck is kind of like that now.

[HorseFly]

I've long loved the idea of player-coaches....

 

We can start calling Reggie...Jackie Moon...

 

[Michael Myers]

That is so exciting.

No, Hilton was the reason for Hilton's 2nd half dominance.  Reggie just helped to get his head on straight.  But it was Hilton's ability, desire and heart that lead to that 2nd half.
