Frank Reich shouldn't have been fired from the Colts. That organization is a mess from the top down and the fact he had the success he did after Luck unexpectedly retired was a miracle. He will need a strong DC to create a competitive team though. Eberflus had that defense humming and the main reason the team sucked in 2022 aside from Matt Ryan being washed out was their defense took a hard fall from grace. That said, Frank Reich just feels like a bland hire. Won't excite the fanbase, but might produce results on the field. Best thing he has going for him is he might have a good chance to develop a rookie QB.

Wilks with an offensive staff that can develop a QB wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Honestly I feel like hiring Sean Payton is the worst decision this franchise could make. The HC choices are better this go around than in 2020.

you say the wrong things

Let’s not forget trading a third round pick for a pothead loser like CJ Henderson who has sucked ASS since he entered the NFL

Can anyone tell me what Fitterer has done to deserve staying though the next head coach? What’s his best move? Drafting Icky? Signing some offensive linemen who panned out? As far as I can see he wasted a ton of resources on Sam Darnold who sucked ass most of the time he played for the Panthers, whiffed on re-signing some key players like Hasaan Reddick, drafted injury prone Jaycee Horn instead of Slater or Justin Fields… Wait why is he still the GM again?

He looks like straight Billy Eichner

Or hiring a coach that everyone interviewed and no one hired

Why don't the Broncos just promote him then

Maybe they’re interviewing Kellen Moore as a OC candidate if the Cowboys blow up their staff to get Sean Payton

Aside from Steichen I’m not really excited about any of the candidates. Just hire Wilks so the team isn’t an embarrassment at this point.

I agree, Tepper has taken a mid level franchise and turned it into a bottom feeder. But he could do worse things than hiring one of the best head coaches in the NFL over the last 15+ years

It would certainly be dumb but at least this coach has a Superbowl ring

I don’t want either of these teams to win

Wilks blew it in the Tampa game by punting on two 4th and 1 opportunities early in the game. With the offense rolling and a chance to stomp the Bucs into oblivion early, Wilks chickened out and played conservative. It was a game where all caution should have been thrown to the wind and all the stops pulled out. How will he coach when he has security? Probably even more conservative. I’m not a fan of going back to John Fox/Ron Rivera conservative play bend-don’t-break defense (although often, Wilks’s defenses did break) and running the ball. It’s a new era of football where the rules heavily benefit the passing game. But ultimately who cares. Tepper is a horrible owner in so many ways and I’m confident whatever choice he makes, even if it’s a good decision at first, will be a failure because of he is too involved and obviously has no idea how to build a winning football team.

Great let’s do what I thought we should have done last year!

Tepper hired a head coach to a top 10 salary who not only had 1 year of NFL experience (as an ASSISTANT position coach no less) but who hadn’t beat any ranked teams in his time as a head coach in college. Guy was a thoroughbred phony and Tepper fell for it. Now he’s chasing Sean Payton who is probably still working for the crooked Saints to grift the Panthers and tank the franchise into oblivion. Whatever decision Tepper makes, I’m confident it will be the wrong one.

I think it’s really weird he doesn’t just go back to the Saints

Payton would half ass the f*ck out of being coach of the Panthers. He’d collect his fat paycheck, collude with the Saints to tank the Panthers into oblivion, set the team back for potentially decades.

Agreed, the fact he punted on those 4th and 1s early in the game with a chance to stomp the life out of the Bucs early said he lacks killer instinct and is no different than Fox or Rivera. If they hired Wilks it’s not a horrendous decision like hiring Rhule was, but they need to find someone who is evolving with the modern NFL and can develop a QB

The threat of a plane flying over the stadium with a banner saying “fire Shula” got Mike Shula fired so who knows lol. In retrospect I don’t think Shula was as bad as we made him out to be though hahaha

If Reich doesn’t get a head coaching job I 100% guarantee he replaces Steichen as OC of the Eagles. Would be strange if Steichen was hired as Colts HC.

Given all the rule changes that make playing QB much easier, it's not hard to understand why either.

The candidates at least appear qualified and intelligent. The crop of candidates last go around was rough. Matt Rhule was the worst of them all.
