What record gets Reich fired?

Chuckle response: Whatever the record is between now and when he is fired.  It’s a gauranteed outcome.

Serious response: 4+ wins this season gets him 2024.  Flirting with .500 gets him 2025.  Anything less qnd he’s job hunting and we’re literally half cocked rebuilding again.  It’s the Tepper blue print.

I don't think that any record gets Reich fired this year...

As others have said, in the extremely unlikely 0-17, he's gone.

I don't see how you justify a second year no matter what your perspective is. We didn't build this offseason or the past two years as if we were in a rebuild. Quite the contrary.

If that was the result, Fitterer and Reich would be unemployed.

This team just got done with 2 plus of Rhule and then had just enough hope to get pissed about Frank's pulling his crap here to give him the theoretical time most new hires get. Even Rhule's first year he didn't get as much heat as Frank is already getting. I don't know what happens but none of this is usual territory. Even the media is already starting to pile on and it's week 3.

Gosh, I hate hearing this from the fanbase. But there's just no passion on that field when we play, so I can understand it even beyond the 0-2 start.

Still... we need some patience here. This is going to play itself out, one way or the other.

Wilks sure has a good defense going out there in San Francisco, though. And CMC sure seems to be having a ball out there, too.

Spilled milk, though. It goes well with souring grapes.

If we're so bad this year that it would get Reich fired, it could be hard to attract a quality HC who would then be saddled with Bryce, who subsequently would have likely had a really bad season. 

I also think Tepper knows the analytics say it's best to hire a GM and HC at the same time and he's supposedly an analytics guy who hasn't followed that one yet.

I think Reich and Fitterer are both tied here for at least this season and the next, but if we're not contending for the playoffs at the end of next year, they're both fired and replaced by a new combo.  

Although I could also see him firing Fitterer after this season and giving Morgan the job and 2 years to make something happen next to Reich for 3 full seasons to prove Bryce was the right guy.  If it's not working by then, you blow it all up and start completely fresh in 2026.

 

I don't think the win total matters.  How Bryce Young looks at the end matters.  But given we don't have a first round pick next year.....I think Frank gets a year 2 no matter what the outcome is.

I agree.  Reich's job here is married to Young.  As soon as we made that trade to move up his career was in the hands of whoever we drafted.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
