I'd take him as a QB coach for sure, possibly even as an OC.

QB coach, ok.  OC, no way.

The only year his offense (as an OC) was ever better than average was the 2017 SB year with the Eagles where Carson Wentz was actually playing like a god.  His other OC gigs were middle of the pack at best.

What experience does he have developing a rookie? Indy seemed to prefer the vet approach during his tenure.

I think I'd still prefer someone from the Shanahan tree. 

 Carson Wentz was having a MVP-type season before getting hurt.  Not to mention Nick Foles looked like a like a Pro Bowler once taking over too.  Foles wasn't a rookie, but didn't squat before nor since then.

Shanahan tree has been picked fairly clean. Not too many guys left on it. Same can be said of the McVay tree, honestly.

There are guys that can be found on both though. Mike LaFleur in New York is a Shanahan guy and Shane Waldron in Seattle has a McVay connection.

When you hitch your wagon to poo qbs that is what happens. Ron Ron is next.

Hell, where we are currently I’d take him as our starting QB.

If teams focus on his ability, maybe.

Given the obsession with youth these days though, it might be tough.

Ageism discrimination.

 

I kid.

Not going to lie. Really wanted Reich when he was last available. Not sure about now but I'd at least consider him over Dan Quinn.

It's a pretty valid "kid"

I've only believed that if Dave Gettleman had been allowed to hire a head coach, it would have been Frank Reich. The two of them went way back.

He made the grave mistake of doing what Rhule did and not solidifying the quarterback

Jeff Saturday named interim coach.

Seriously?

I would have expected Gus Bradley or Bubba Ventrone. Hell, maybe even John Fox.
