He’s a good guy, won one unforgettable game as a Terp. I really don’t go out of my way to support Maryland or Tennessee players, but for some reason I make an exception for Reich (and Juan Dixon, Dale Ellis).

he is a good coach, and did a great job with the Eagles the year of their Super Bowl win, dealing with Wentz and then Foles.

Irsay seems to have been meddling of late with the Colts roster, and who they were starting. In that context, I kind of expected Reich to get canned at some point either during this season or at the end of the season.

Wasn't he also the Bills QB in the magical comeback win against the Oilers 92/93? Jim Kelly was hurt.

Sorry if it's in there. I didn't read the article.

and his brother Joe went to Gettysburg, and has been the HC at Wingate for like 22 years. .
I often wondered if Frank was going to hire Joe to get him into the pros....now I wonder if Joe is going to hire Frank.

maybe you would like his brother Joe better....Reich played offensive line at Gettysburg from 1984-87, earning a B.A. degree in Mathematics in 1987.

FWIW Frank was in some sort of honor society at Maryland (Phi Beta Kappa? I am not sure) Frank also somewhat changed some acedemic rules while at MD. In the old days the school could only pay for inelegible students to go to summer school. Frank thought that was BS and forced a change to have them pay for summer school so he could take graduate classes.

thats easy. let one guy call the runs, another call the pass, and a third to call play action. Maybe a 4th to decide A, B or C

Irsay will make all offensive and defensive calls from the booth. He'll do anything to tank the season.

Agree he is a good coach and knows his stuff. He went there with the idea Andrew Luck would be his qb then his injury/retirement and the Brissett and Wentz experiments went south, he is the scapegoat of them not being able to draft a starting qb or get a solid starting qb in free agency. Be interesting to see where he ends up. If there is some type of opening I think he could do wonders with Lawrence down at Jax and Dougie P again.

Reich is a good dude and a very solid coach. He will land on his feet.

Irsay is a lunatic. Daniel Snyder is an a-hole, but it was really funny for Irsay to be the one to criticize a fellow owner. He personally and his family have had more than their share of issues. He paints himself as an elder statesmen like Rooney or a Mara, but he is much more like one of the problem owners.
