This is a disaster, and it really isn't too early to consider firing Reich

[Bear Hands]

This is not typically how I roll.  But re: the title--it really isn't too early.  

He seems like a good dude, he had his success, SB win as an OC...but his hire had the same weirdness that rehiring Hurney and the Hornets rehiring Clifford did.

I gave it some consideration as he built the staff, seemed super promising.  We heard the players who came to praise the crew we brought together, we heard talking heads hype this coaching situation.  It has just been an unmitigated disaster thus far and we're about to play a league top Lions team and then Miami.. 0-6 is coming folks.

Things still feel directionless. They don't trust Bryce.  Bryce doesn't trust himself, the playcalling is awful, the OL is depleted, the whole team seems to be in a tailspin.  

They sold us a few things:

• Playoffs were in the cards
• We built the defense first, offense second, and then had the opportunity to give up assets bc we just needed a QB to insert

They were setting things up as if we were ready for takeoff.  

Then it doesn't quite happen out the gate.  Okay, that's understandable.  But, thing is, even in loses, you want to see SOMETHING.  Some type of WR stepping up, some chunk plays busting out here and there, some nice moments from a guy we spent huge capital to get.  We have gotten nothing. Zilch, zero.  Nada.

This is one of the most embarrassing things I've witnessed as a fan of the Panthers, Blackhawks, Braves, and Hornets.  I've just never seen such flatness, such uninspiring play.  Poor team construction, a QB that seems entirely frazzled.  This entire situation seems awful.  

Rhule was at least a dud that you could say was a dud, bad hire, not NFL caliber.  Reich is this "regarded" figure that is absolutely failing right now.  And the constant talking heads saying Bryce has his moments, or Reich just needs time are looking more silly by the day.

Talk me back into this please.

Fire him and Fitts both. Right now. Get this God awful amateur hour over with.

[L-TownCat]

Nah man, looks like we missed on every single move so far.

[The Lobo]

Shouldn’t have been hired. Got fired from the colts, the colts for crying out loud and Tepper is thinking: “I gotta get me some of that poo”. This is like in Walk Hard when Dewey walks in on his friend doing drugs. 

[Knaakedup]

There’s nothing to talk you back into. 
 

This coach is outdated. The GM has made every wrong move possible. Everything is broken. 
 

Only way to fix this is to blow it up and see what a new coach/GM duo can pull out of BY on the rookie contract. 
 

GM - trading up for Corral while missing on Sam Howell. Sitting here with Burns wanting a top 3 DE contract while producing at the lowest tier. Zero WR’s to allow us to throw beyond 10 yards. 
 

everything is fuged lol

I mean we're such a joke at this point I don't know anyone who was actually worth a poo that would WANT to come here. I get that people want HC jobs, but why go to an org that is in total shambles

[Proudiddy]

It's true, Reich was a horrible hire.  The only way we can salvage anything from this last offseason is to fire him and hire Evero as the HC.  But, at this point, I'm convinced any decision made with Tepper at the helm will be the wrong one.  We are cursed.

[Proudiddy]

But seriously, I was thinking a lot about us and the parallels to Hackett and Denver last season.  I would not be surprised if he doesn't make it through the season.

The next GM hire is crucial.

You have to give the guy full control and he has to be given three years to sort out this mess of a roster.

If you fire Reich, might as well try and trade Bryce by the deadline too.

If you fire a HC 4 games into his tenure, after he traded away the farm to move up and take a QB of Bryce's size, while he's struggling this much... good luck attracting even a Rhule level of a HC to the job.

We're stuck with Reich and Bryce for at least 2, maybe 3 years.

[Navy_football]

If Reich doesn't give up the playcalling and just be a MFing HC!? Let people do the job you hired them to do! If Thomas fails,you replace him. Period! He's gotta stop holding these grown mens' hands and trying to protect them from the NFL! They're paid very well to do what they do, and if they ain't up for the challenge, then get them out. If Bryce can't push the ball downfield, then get him out of here. This ain't a league for the weak! But honestly, I think he's the one preventing everyone else from being their best. Just get out of the way!

[Smithers]

He should be fired, but he won’t be.  Fitt will trade away next years 2nd for an average WR.  Things will only get worse.

This is probably the best and easy “fix” to make. Reich stinks!!!!!!! Just doing that and then Brown calling plays would be such a welcome change.

[Cpt slay a ho]
