Mr. Scot

If you're centered on Bryce, I'd look to Frank Smith since he's worked with Tua.

1. Capers 2. Seifert 3. Fox 4. Rivera 5. Perry Fewell (interim) 6. Rhule 7. Wilks (interim) 8. Reich 9. Tabor (interim)

Not so much "breaking". More like "worst kept secret in the NFL"

He didn't do it for Brady. Charlie Weis and Josh McDaniels did.

Like Jed York did, i.e. you guys do what you need to do and I'll keep my ass out of it.

And has only made things worse

I remember. And yeah...

Good chance may have kept a good portion of the staff intact. With a coach like Wilks, you really need savant X's and O's guys at the coordinator spots because that's not his forté. I don't know that Holcomb fits that bill.

Meanwhile...

Don't necessarily think he could have. I was talking about what he'd have wanted.

Neither Reich nor Brown did that consistently. I've grown to believe that Brown may not have been ready to be an OC. That doesn't excuse Reich, mind you.

GameDay roster management and mismatched schemes / personnel were my two biggest peeves with Reich

Meanwhile in New England...

Also... Wonder if we'd be interested.

Technically most of our line would have signalled that preseason

I know Florio said it but he's not the only one. Pretty sure Breer said something to that effect also.

Brown himself said he wrote the playbook "from the ground up" before the season ever started. Why would he lie? Now, was it influenced? Yes. Brown listed both Reich and McVay as influences on what he wrote, though Reich's likely would have been greater. As far as specifics, my guess would be the lack of pre-snap motion would have been Reich's preference. Likewise, the heavy use of shotgun and certain personnel groupings. On the flipside, as I recall some analysts didn't see many of the mesh concepts and triangle read patterns that were common for Reich before.

I'm not a fan of either option...
