Frank Reich for New HC with Eagles QB coach DeFilippo as OC

Recommended Posts

I think that is the direction the Colts need to go. A young and upcoming coach for OC with Frank Reich, who has seen everything from QB coach to WR coach to OC now being HC.

 

Frank has been known for his good demeanor and is probably more suited for HC at this point in his career. Have to keep moving forward, and I am sure that is what Ballard and Irsay are doing, as we speak.

 

Thoughts???

I was about to post the same thing, I like Frank all along and thought he was over-looked.

He was OC but he didn't run the Eagles offense and didn't call the plays. 

 

Im not so sure.

 

That is why he will bring DeFilippo. Same argument used against Matt LeFleur, who became OC of the Titans.

 

Frank has called plays with the Chargers before, it is not like Doug Pederson did not get any input from Frank, much like Sean McVay got a lot of input from LeFleur before coming up with a game plan on offense.

Frank is a former QB in the NFL, I suspect he can call plays if required. I mean, I can call plays if necessary....we need a leader and a strategist who can build out a team and game plan etc, etc.  Plus there's one NFL team in the world with a HC job open....who wants in?  I'm more worried about Andrew being ok.

And he's been in our organization before....easy choice all things considered or Ballard with go with a KC coach.  People usually jump to comfort zones when stuff like this happens.  We know Frank and Ballard knows Taub.

Frank Reich has been learning from great coaches since his playing days in Buffalo. Maybe some are to young to have seen the bills in there dominant day with Jim Kelly. Frank Reich was his backup qb with the best hc at the time Marv Levy. Frank was holding a clip board for years and learning how the game is managed/coached from then till now. He was just the oc for the superbowl winning team. He knows how to coach qbs ala Carson Wentz/ Nick Foles. He's. A competitor with drive. He will be an excellent head coach.

I’ve seen some others say this (@theMMQB) but if the @Colts want a guy with potential to be a serious leader of men, impeccable character, not to mention OC of SB champs... Frank Reich.

If Frank Reich came here why would Defilippo come with him? He would likely get promoted to Eagles OC.

 

Actually, I thought he was going to be hired by the Vikings as OC after Valentines day. Something about his contract is up around then.

Defilippo is the QB coach, right? So if he came to the Colts as an OC, that would be a promotion and I imagine a pay raise.

Not excited about a loser who has never been a head coach, who has been dismissed or fired from three separate organizations in the last 7 years.  If he is the pick I don't expect him to succeed and definitely won't be watching next season.  There really are no good options though so whatever it's not like he is any worse than Toub or any other loser they might bring in. Ballard sure screwed this one up, that's for sure.

Sorry, but I'm not impressed with Reich as our Head Coach

I'd rather take a chance with Flip

 

Frank Reich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coaching career[edit]

 

In 2008, he served as an offensive assistant and quarterbacks coach for the Indianapolis Colts. After Tony Dungy retired early in 2009, Jim Caldwell (former Colts quarterback coach) replaced Dungy and Reich took his place as the new quarterbacks coach.[5] Reich switched to Wide Receivers Coach[6] in 2011 but was dismissed when the entire coaching staff was released. He was the wide receivers coach for the Arizona Cardinals in 2012 under head coach Ken Whisenhunt,[7] but both Reich and Whisenhunt (along with other offensive coaches) were dismissed on December 31, 2012. He was hired by the San Diego Chargers along with Whisenhunt in 2013. When Whisenhunt left to become head coach of the Tennessee Titans, Reich was promoted to offensive coordinator. On January 4, 2016, he was fired from his position as offensive coordinator with the San Diego Chargers. On January 20, 2016, he was hired as offensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles

 

As coach:

You guys aren’t crazy with the Frank Reich hype. I understand he won a super bowl and you all feel like scorned lovers but damn people. He doesn’t even call plays...


It's not like the cupboard is stocked with home run hires at this point.

    • I almost spit my coffee out reading this a few times, lol!  I love sarcasm and I especially love it when there is some truth to it!  Well played Sir!
    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • if he is healthy and they make the playoffs in spite of, say, Houston being the 1 or 2 seed in a loaded afc, you think Irsay would contemplate firing him? That would mean we took another step forward and AR proved he could stay healthy and play ball. I don’t see his seat being hot in that scenario at all. I see the organization being fired up with that and ready to hit the offseason hard to take the next step forward. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
