He is way too mechanical in his process and is among the very most stubborn refuse to adjust coaches I have ever witnessed. Unless you are working with extreme top of the line talent that can just win any game based on their skill, then you MUST be willing to change things up. I was glancing through the game thread as the game was happening and someone said "Frank Reich's motto- try something 1,000 times and if doesn't work, try it again because, why not". That seems to sum it up perfectly. We got hot and rode the amazing legs of Taylor and the line but when push came to shove in the most key of moments, there was Frank fiddling with his play sheet and finding no answers. Sometimes that play sheet needs to be put away and your gut needs to be used. He isn't capable of doing that.

I also think you were right about Reich after all....I wanted to believe in him because I personally like and respect him, but he is just a mediocre coach at best. I don't pretend to be a football expert, but to me he seems too impatient in his play calling, he always wants to hit the big play rather than methodically
drive down the field and take what the defense gives you! More than likely we are stuck with both Reich and Wentz for another season or two....Ballard is not without blame either!
