Ballard should hire Frank Reich (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter JohnnyU
- Start date
I think it's a plus for his chances that he shares same agent as Ballard, same agent who just dumped McDaniels.

Reich would be a better hire than McDaniels. If he is hired the McDaniels debacle is a blessing for the Colts.

I would love to see Reich and DeFilippo both come. Leslie Frazier or Dan Campbell not so much.
I hope Irsay doesn't interfere in the coaching choice and let's Ballard do his job.

It's hard to imagine any scenario where Reich leaves and the Eagles don't immediately promote DeFilippo.

I completely agree. Their only chance would be to hire DeFilippo as HC and offer Reich play calling duties as OC. He'll never get that under Pederson.
No way DeFilippo makes a lateral move away from a much more desirable situation. If Reich leaves, he almost certainly gets offered the OC position in Philly.

DeFillipo is going to the Vikings. :(

Suppose Indy is able to sign Reich, who do you suppose he picks as OC ?

Shouldn't random thoughts about the Colts go in their team thread?

I don't care about McDaniels not coming, what upset me was the hiring of the assistants at the request of McDaniels. I don't know if any of them are good (kind of like Eberfluss) for the team or not, but the Colts will honor their contract. How prospective head coaches feel about those assistants is another thing. It put the Colts in a pickle. Add all of that with the fact he caused men to uproot their families for a new job expecting McDaniels to be there. What a Richard move that was.

If he is hired, the Colts sure could use some good luck about right now. Next news is that Luck starts throwing.

I'm not sure Reich is the right guy to bring them back to prominence. Seems like more of a front-runner.
In all seriousness, I like the Duce Staley angle that Slider alluded to.

Playing devils advocate a bit...
This move comes off as desperate. Spurned by McDaniels and almost instantly going to the team that beat them seems hasty. At his stage no team needs a HC. They could have interviewed tons of candidates.

They definitely won the lotto with losing Mcdaniels he would have been a disaster. Reich will be much better.

Not if know what Reich brings to the table. Who do you think would be a better candidate?

Honestly I don’t have any other candidates in mind. I was just thinking they had all the time they need to make sure they get the right guy. There’s no more competition for a HC and teams can’t block someone getting promoted to HC. With that said, why not interview more people?

Maybe they knew Reich was the guy they wanted and knew dragging it out isn't always the best maneuver. I'm hoping that is the case. I think the Colts are putting a decent staff together and I especially like the DC.
