Reggie Wayne named Assistant WR coach

[JLeòdhas]

Thats what I'm talking about, you go Reggie.

[NewEra]

Awesome news and shows great leadership and wanting to be apart if the team. He can watch from the sidelines and give them pointers. Like on route running. How to fake them out and set them up for later in the game, etc...

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.

That along with a couple nice passes from the qb

I heard on the MNF game that Reggie gave the team a speech before the game talking about you never know when your time is up....your career is over so go make the most of it. (paraphrasing) Perhaps taking this position is his way of saying he is hanging up the cleats. All speculation.

[JlynRN]

Wow that's a Great move for the team and a Great move for Reggie !!!  He will still be around to mentor the guys and provide the leadership that is needed.  Love it

[CanuckColt]

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

I am sure Reggie will recommend what is best for the Colts...he is "Colts" first and foremost.

He said in a post game interveiw that he would be back on the field, Just wait and see. Taking this position is keeping him involved with the team while he rehabs. Tap into his knowledge and his leadership abilities. Let him contribute to the team in any way that he can. Why stay at home and rehab when he can be with is teammates and be an active part of the family

Knowledge, Leadership, Work Ethic, There couldn't be a better influence for this young crew of receivers!

Great move by the TEAM!

[CanuckColt]

Gotta feel great to have Reggie on the sidelines...big positive influence on our receivers.

[FanFromtheWasteland]

Just curious, has anything like this been done before?

[Carlos Danger]

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

... and Jeff Saturday...  we'd have the best QB, WR, and O-Line coaches in the biz, I'd bet. Of all of those guys, I could see Saturday having the most success as a HC. He was probably the most respected player around the NFL until his retirement. Intelligent, diplomatic, has a ton of heart... I think that he'd be the perfect successor to Pagano after putting his years in coaching the O-Line... Peyton would make an excellent O-Coordinator... He pretty much coordinated our offense for the last 10 years he was here... Reggie would be an elite receivers coach, but I could also see him being an elite QBs coach... after seeing the way he has helped Luck's development, I'd give him the job in a heartbeat... sorry Clyde.

[t-rex]

It shows you what a class organization the Colts really are.

 

 

Look at the value and greatness of Reggie Wayne and then compare it to what is going on down in Miami.

none of that will happen

[Carlos Danger]

none of that will happen

yeah... I know that... Players that make the kind of money that Peyton and Reggie have don't usually go into coaching... It would be hard to argue that they wouldn't be good at it, though.

[Andy]

Great hire lol! He's a perfect mentor on the field and off the field!
