Scott Fitterer on the trade

Based on what? The fact that he did a 180 and went with a retread NFL coach recently fired instead of the next flavor college coach w/ virtually no NFL experience? I like Reich and the choice, but the man got fired in Indianapolis for a reason and that reason was losing football games.  Tepper is 29-53 since buying the team.  His highlights are paying a ton for Matt Rhule and defrauding Rock Hill, SC. 

He went with a professional coach on the recommendation of his football people rather than a college coach based on a gut feeling.

The results may still be yet to come, but I'll take that.

[rebelrouser]

Yeah, I like Reich too. Hope Tepper got lucky.

Tepper likely would have means to find out more of the inside story of that situation in Indy. 
 

I like to think he saw Reich refuse to placate Irsay, and knowing that he has these same type impulses and needs a strong personality to save him from himself?

Maybe not.
