Could be considered a bit of an ass saving move by Chris Ballard...

Just appears to be a once good HC that got old and stagnant by NFL standards. I wouldn't discount this as Ballard's time to prove he should stay after the moves they have made recently.

Colts fans have wanted Reich gone for a bit so I'm sure they're rejoicing.  That franchise is in a similar boat as us--but the vet QBs they pick have been over-the-hill types rather than reclamations.  

Pretty nice roster otherwise.

They've thoroughly screwed the quarterback position over the last couple of seasons trading for Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan. 

That wasn't Reich's fault, though he may have believed he could fix Wentz.

I find Frank Reich's arc interesting. I remember when he left Philly, and the Colts were doing better than expected, and the Eagles struggled, there were lots of comments about him being what drove the Philly Bus, I bought into that.

Then Pederson got off to a good start with Lawrence in Jax, and Reich struggled and Pederson got some of his credit back. I wonder where Reich goes from here.

Wow, that is a bit of a surprise.

Not really. It's been rumored for weeks that he was on the hot seat. Maybe it's a little surprising that his axing was mid season (not really), but there was a time that he and Rhule were in a race to be fired.

He may not be first in line on blame for those but unless he was screaming 'NO' then he was probably part of the problem. Just those 2 moves will is enough to fire a HC and/or GM. When they got Ryan I knew it was going to end poorly over there. And after Wentz like they learned nothing.

      Nailed it! Chiefs got #10 overall (and selected Mahomes) and sent the Bills #27, #91, and a 2018 first-rounder (ended up being #18) to pick the QB that has kept them out of the Super Bowl. 💀 Tbf to the Bills tho, they turned those picks into Tre'Davious White, Dion Dawkins, Tremaine Edmunds, and Siran Neal. Three out of four hits ain't bad at all, but that one for one for KC... ooh wee mayne.

      Yep. Happens to a lot of talented kids. I just think a lot of people don't understand that just because this kid is super talented doesn't mean he's going to make it to the pros. Most of them won't. Some will get injured. Some will run into trouble off the court/field. Some won't put in the work. The catering greatly increases the odds of the latter two. Then most will simply just not be good enough to make it to the pros. Either way, it all adds up to a long shot and the kids need to have solid plan Bs. A few years back my HS had the #1 RB recruit on the nation. He originally committed to UGA but flipped to Bama and was getting decent playing time as a true freshman before obliterating his ankle. He was never the same again after that. Never made it to the pros. Not sure what happened to him but evidently he wasn't the brightest bulb and was basically just getting passed through school to stay academically eligible. I don't think he was a bad kid, never really heard anything like that. He just wasn't all that bright and all the eggs were in the football basket.
