Some interesting tidbits here and will be interesting to see how this will compare to the answers he gives on his Panthers presser on Tuesday. 

Here’s some of the excerpts:

We will be a multiple attack, up-tempo offense. We will be aggressive. What I mean by multiple is that we will use multiple personnel groups in multiple formations to be able to run the same plays over and over again, to disguise it so that team won’t know what we’re doing. We will keep them off-balance with run and pass. We will change up the tempo. There will be a strong element of no huddle offense to the Colts offense. The analogy that I like to use is the analogy of a boxer. When you step into a boxing ring you want to impose your will on your opponent and as an offensive team and as a team in general we want to impose our will on the opponent. So as an offense, to impose your will means you run it when you want to run it and when you have to run it and you throw it when you want to throw it. We speed it up when we feel we’ve got somebody on the ropes and we can put them down for the count and you slow it down sometimes when necessary. That’s the analogy, that’s what it will be, and we will build the players around that kind of scheme.
 

I will call the plays but you can’t even imagine the collaboration that goes into preparing the call sheet, preparing the first 15, how we are prioritizing our third down calls, how we are prioritizing our red zone calls, all of the situational football during the course of the game... there has got to be one voice and I will be that voice calling it on game day but it will be a collaborative effort.
 

The first one is that we will be the toughest. We will be the toughest both mentally and physically. What I mean by that is there will be a relentless pursuit to get better every day. A relentless pursuit, relentless every day, to get better and an obsession with finishing strong.
 

Secondly, we will be the most disciplined team... discipline is going to be the foundation that’s going to create a lot of joy out on that field and in this city, and when we wear the horseshoe we will be wearing it with a lot of joy and a lot of pride in our hearts. It is going to be fun to be a part of that.
 

Thirdly, we are going to be the most prepared team... What we are going to be about as an organization and as a football team is creating and cultivating habits, championship habits and championship thoughts, that’s the vision.
 

fourth, we are going to be the most united team. We are going to be a close team. It is going to be built around trust, respect, and love. A love of the game... What we know is this, when you have championship culture, it’s going to result in many victories. That’s the vision.

Also found out through that article he inherited 3 coaches that signed before Josh McDaniels backed out of the job.

D. Coordinator: Matt Eberflus

(Now the bears Head Coach)

D-line coach: Mike Phair

(we hired him in 2020, now he’s out of

the NFL)

O-line coach: Dave DeGuglemio

(now coaching in college ranks)

So both of his original coordinators are now head coaches ( Sirianni with the Eagles and Eberflus with the Bears).

After Sirianni left, Reich promoted Marcus Brady to O.C, who ended up being fired a week before Reich.

Gus Bradley is who ultimately replaced Eberflus at D.C, but former Panther Chris Harris, Joe Cullen, Jim Schwartz, Kris Richard and Joe Whitt Jr. were also interviewed.

Interesting that Kris Richard was interviewed in Indy by Reich for the DC job. He was interviewed recently for the Panthers DC gig. Coincidence?

One thing to remember is that due to how Reich got the Colts gig after McDaniels pulled out, he was hired "late" and it created a weird assistant coach situation.

It seems like Karma that Reich was hired FIRST this time.

Also interesting that Fitt was with him in Seattle. I dug a little earlier and didn't see any connection between Reich and Richard, but this could be a situation where GM and HC are seeing eye to eye on DC candidates which would be an improvement over whatever was happening the last couple years.
