Frank Reich Expected to Interview

[Mr.Debonair]

Minny seems to be the favorite for Flips

Jim Bob Cooter is still listed as the OC of the Lions and this is an up to date list since it has Patricia has the HC. I don't think DeFilippo will be interviewing there.

[Qcolts]

Defilippo is interviewing for the Vikings oc job not the lions. Jim Bob Cooter is staying as OC in Detroit. 

 

I am am wondering why we aren’t interviewing jim bob cooter as head coach . He seems more qualified than Reich and Campbell to me. Stafford actually improved with Cooter as Calvin johnson retired .

[NorthernBlue]

The only shot Indy has at maybe nabbing both is that Defilipo won't call plays in Philly, which he may be able to do in Indy or Minny.

[Coltivated]

Right it is vikings my bad got Detroit on my mind i guess. and yes your right play calling was the only call i could make on why he would choose us over Philly

Another angle I would put on this. If Defilipo gets the job in Detroit wouldn't that mean we have access to Jim Bob Cooter? Another former Colt.

Patricia already announced that he’s retaining Cooter as OC in Detroit.

[jshipp23]

Urban Meyer, Mike Shanahan, Frank Reich, and DeFilipo in that order...

 Not an Offensive genius???      But  you'd rather have Toub?    I have no idea how to follow you on this 

 

I am just saying each candidate has different qualities.

With Reich its obvious offense is his specialty.

With Toub, I have to believe, his strength is his leadership, and Toub would need a good OC.  

 

As for Reich, when I said he is not an offensive genius, what I mean is... Where ever he has been, he's been an assistant to another coach's offensive system.

He's worked as an OC, but always under an offensive minded HC's system (McCoy, Pederson).

It's hard to say how good Reich's system is (or will be), since he has never had his own offensive control.

He's helped Pederson run his offense, and McCoy run his. But Reich has never run his own offense. So the Colts really don't know what kind of offense Frank Reich would run?

...Some in league circles believe that, between offensive coordinator Frank Reich and DeFilippo, the Eagles would rather keep the latter. With Reich’s name emerging as a candidate for the head-coaching job in Indianapolis, Reich getting the gig would solve the problem.

If it turns out to be Reich, I hope he has already given a nod, or agreement if you will, to Defillipo that he would bring him along to be OC. 

 

I like cohesion. 

 

Besides, they seem to work well together and I think the familiarity between the two would fast-forward the transition process in their new jobs here, rather than go through a learning curve with someone new at OC.

 

And I think that this would benefit Luck greatly.

 

Guys, we're not getting both Reich AND DeFilippo. If we hire Reich, there's a 100% chance Philly promotes DeFilippo to offensive coordinator. The only way we're getting him is if we hire him as HC.

Thanks @1959Colts for the videos on  Toub, DeFilippo, & Reich. I actually like You Tube profiles vs reading lengthy articles with glowing recommendations from former bosses that tell you absolutely nothing.

 

Okay sure, videos can often be slanted to place candidates in the best possible light sure. But, I like the tag along to workday stuff because habits reveal a lot because it shows how patterns whether in workouts, diet, film study, & consistency indicate a roadmap to success for both players & coaches alike. 

 

Plus, I need to hear a candidate's voice, see how the carry themselves, & it's nice to witness people like DeFlippo who lift weights & break a sweat before work everyday. It's harder to dismiss a coordinator or coach's advice if they are fit & not fat & slow with no stamina. Plus, it makes guys on your roster go hey, if I don't run this route correctly, my mentor is literally gonna embarrass me athletically during practice. 

 

I don't have a dog in this race meaning preference among these choices 1 way or another. They all seem qualified to be head coaches. Like I said before, I just like profile features on NFL candidates beyond articles because it reminds me of go to work with your dad day when you were little like a silent observer. Just soak it all up like a sponge. 

 

 

Very good point.

As for a dog in the race...

It's very early. (After all, we thought McDaniels was our coach two days ago). I have to think, with Chris Ballard, there are going to be other (yet unknown) candidates to surface for interview.

You are seriously criticizing him for abusing a running back?  You sat here and defended Chuck till the end. The same Chuck that put a young QB in vertical offenses with a porous lines, no running game and asked him to throw the ball 40+ times a game.

 

oh yeah, said QB hasn't thrown a pass in over a year.

Luck getting his serious injuries was because he played with a line backers mentality. Yes he was sacked a lot but he never played to protect himself. Big difference.

Then what is Defillipo doing interviewing there?  Or did the OP not list the right team Defillipo was interviewing with?

 That doesn't say anything about him having a bigger hand in calling plays than Reich

What Shanahan did to Terrell Davis was enough to make me dislike him.

And then to make things worse he let RG3 run his team in Washington.

At this point I think an experienced proven coach is the way to go..Shanahan can coach , guarantee the line will look much better and we will be able to run the ball...He did good with Elway and Luck is an Elway clone..

For some reason I think Reich will tear it up. We get him, Luck gets healthy, we Draft Barkley, and Draft Defense the rest of the way we will be dangerous. Get Norwell in Free Agency on the O.Line too  

[BProland85]

This would be my #1 option. Would really look good on offense with both of these guys in house and Eberflus running the defense.

Yeah I think the Eagles are scrounging to keep DeFilippo as they see him as a more potential coaching candidate than Reich.

 

Which is why if I were choosing one of these coaches to bring on board, it'd be DeFillipo.

 Hiring an old retread coach who don't care about the health of his players IMO is not the way to go.

If an experienced head coach was available I wouldn't have a problem but I don't see any available at this point that is drawing any interest.

I have no idea about the Defillipo interviews, but it was in the news yesterday that Patricia was retaining Cooter.

What could they do to keep Frank Reich?   There's nothing they could offer him other than the Head Coach position.   It's not the same as Defillipo who you can offer a position as Offensive Coordinator.  That's mainly why they don't want to lose him.

They pretty much know they are going to lose Frank Reich at some point unless he comes back. 

 

I'd be gung ho to keep Defillipo too rather than get a guy from the outside.   And this is not to discredit Defillipo.  When it comes to the Eagles I just don't view it as a I want this guy more than the other guy thing when it comes to Reich and Defillipo.

Shanahan was in a bad situation with Snyder in Washington..I think him and Ballard could make things happen here..

He may call Jim Harbaugh at this point and give him a blank check

Regardless of what you think about Shanahan his ship has sailed away and sunk.

I don't understand why people don't see it but Harbaugh with a healthy Luck and Barkley at RB - we would go 10-6 in our sleep. I would bet anyone in here that would happen.

Unless Irsay breaks out the check and just goes bonkers LOL. I know I am rambling but you never know. I know Jimmy loves Michigan.

[2006Coltsbestever]

At this point after getting screwed over I would be like OK, wanna play hardball let me give Jim a call. That would be a splash! Jim is loved here too.
