Dude, you're first point is so insanely wrong it hurts.  He had Luck his first season in 2018, 2019 he retired before the season and they had jacoby brissett, third year they had the final year of Phillip rivers career, next was Carson Wentz, and his final year in Indy he had Matt Ryan.  In no world did he have andrew luck for "most of it".  also its pretty openly known now that Reich wanted Stroud, Tepper wanted Young, so we took young.

 

Reich is a trashcan of a coach, but we don't have to make up stuff to prove our point.

true, I stand corrected.... but the bulk of his wins were under Rivers and Luck... 2 qbs that force wins that really arent due to coaching...

Now THIS is absolutely correct.  They held the Offense together and they had a good defense, those 2 things will produce wins as long as you don't get in the way.  Hell it was the Rivera Method with Cam and a dominant defense.

The idea of Reich being "broken" from some of his prior experiences actually make a lot of sense. As mentioned before, some of his choices here were just baffling.

Also, his statement that the job could be considered desirable if it comes with a 6 year guaranteed contract is consistent with what's been said elsewhere.

And McAfee's final comment is correct: Tepper still has to make the right choice.

Youre right scot, its similar to what adam put out. 

I wonder how his energy levels were during the hiring process??

How did tepper and fitt not see it?? 

I know not many 70 some old coach cannot have pete carroll PED/meth energy........just matt rhule fooled them and now frank fooled them as well....

yeah I agree we need a roster builder.moreover, like I said in another post was that any coach would have a difficult time trying to be successful with this current roster

[GoobyPls]

Lombardi would always scoff when they called Reich an offensive genius

Sheena Quick backs it up...

"Roster Builder" Does that means a different GM?

This makes a lot of sense, but it also goes against what a lot of people are saying about Tepper making uninformed decisions etc. It seems like it is the opposite, he listens too much to other people. So the upside is that when he figures out who to listen to, he is open to their input.

My biggest complaint about Jerry Richardson was always that he trusted the wrong people (Marty Hurney, in particular).

It's a similar issue with David Tepper, but almost like he doesn't know who to trust. Odd given that he was around some great football minds in Pittsburgh.

It may make more sense to keep Fitterer as he seems to be very connected in the league and you ultimately need someone to handle the financial side of the roster. But our coach should have say over the roster composition so that the scheme will mesh with the players. I think Jim Harbaugh would be a good fit as he is a strong personality, his scheme would fit our existing roster more closely and matches our historical identity, and he can build the roster in his image and let Fetterer handle negotiations. Every personnel decision including trades should be Harbaugh’s final decision.

And basically whoever the coach is should have the option to interview Fitterer and if they do not think he is the right GM, then fire him then. But why fire him now if the new coach felt he would be a good GM.

Spoiler alert: he’s not a good GM

Fitterer is not a roster builder, that's his problem. He's more like a gem seeker, trying to find the next unknown player that will become a superstar. He passover the talented players, which the team needs, for later round players. Fitterer is more like a debuilder.
