[Ras-IR Dowling]

He was an OC and QB coach right?

I'm not opposed.

Reich is definitely the scapegoat, and he was the absolute best of Clots management. Now they have no intelligent or responsible adults in the room. Frank is talented, he deserves another, and better, job.

If I had to guess Reich didn't love the Matt Ryan benching and firing his OC. I would guess he and Irsay butted heads and that was that for Reich.

Bill won't hire Reich to be OC...he's too loyal to Fat Matt

Don't worry, the Colts have so much farther to fall.

Remember what Archeletta was saying yesterday: The Colt's OL was the highest paid OL in the NFL and played like trash. That's a GM problem and this is a move by a GM trying to blame it all on the coach.

Frank Reich was not the Colts problem If I was BB I would be tempted he fills a NEED.

I’d welcome him with open arms as the new Pats OC…

I did not think Reich deserved the sack seems a decent coach.

I don't know the history between Reich and BB, but from seeing the end of the game quick handshake, no conversation, I'm guessing there is no love lost between the two.

If he did, though, it would allow MP to concentrate on his exemplary OL coaching.

A guy of Reich's caliber is not always available and we have a Offensive problem.

Jim Irsay is a two-headed snake.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Well, Reich was the OC for the Eagles in 2017 so....

It'll be interesting to see if Matt Ryan becomes the starter again under the new HC. Ehlinger is clearly not ready

Reich was the OC under Jim Caldwell when everyone was fired back in 2012, so this is Reich's second stint under Irsay. You know, the Colts got rid of him too quickly this time. The GM is going to hire some schlub like Mike Kafka, and it's going to be a disaster. Then Irsay will fire the GM and he'll try again for the Third time with Reich.

Reich was railroaded by "8 Ball" Irsay

Great year out of Luck in 2017
Brisket's best year in 2018
Solid year out of Rivers in 2019
Blood out of a stone w/ Wentz last year.

Give the guy a competent QB and he'll do OK.

Give him the dog **** he had yesterday and a cooked Matt Ryan this is what happens.

I would love to see him as OC here.

I get it the Third Reich.

At this rate I'd welcome him as the new Pats Right Tackle....or backup Center.

Thanks Dad Ferentz threw some nice Blocks yesterday.

Thoughts.........the writing was on the wall with the OC getting canned (when he wasn't even the playcaller!).

I like Reich, pretty innovative by today's standards and seems a good guy. But he's badly mis-handled the Colts QB situation (or at least not do enough to make it be known he's not in charge of personnel if he's not had enough say in what's gone on) and they have looked awful offensively (aside from Taylor and the O-line, at least up to this year).

Might be an overhaul coming in Indy.......if so, go all out for Nelson and Leonard.
