It's Done! Frank is gone!

If you think keeping Ryan and Reich would have been a winning move well shit, I guess we just disagree I must have been watching a different Colt team these last few months.

If you want to win, you keep things in place and try to eliminate the problems you have. You don't create new problems on top of the old. They threw a monkey wrench into the engine to make sure things don't run. Hell the reason we even have wins is that Ryan was getting us there. Not like the run game was helping.

We were not winning shit with Reich/Ryan and this offensive line.

The Colts will regret firing Frank.

Good coaches adjust their strategy to the roster they’re given. For Reich, this strength was evident in the carousel of quarterbacks he rode. From 2018 to 2021, the Colts’ leading passer changed in each season: Andrew Luck to Jacoby Brissett to Philip Rivers to Carson Wentz. The few teams that endured this level of quarterbacking instability suffered far worse offensive performances than Reich’s Colts. The Commanders had three different leading passers in the same four years, and were a bottom-five offense by DVOA in three of those four years. The Broncos had five different leading passers in five seasons, from 2017 to 2021, and never made the playoffs, never had a winning record, and produced three seasons of bottom-eight offenses. The Panthers have also primarily featured six different QBs in the last five years if you include this season, for which we can safely say they will once again have a below-average offense—as they have in the last three years.

Reich sustained transitions at quarterback so well it made the team-building strategy almost seem viable. The Colts went from Brissett’s poor downfield focus to Philip Rivers’s lightning-quick running back dump-offs to Carson Wentz’s RPO reliance and cement feet without a hiccup. They didn’t reload the entire offensive roster each season—they just plugged in a new centerpiece and ran a new system. Other coaches can’t do that. Reich can."

This is a now league, not a wow look what you did for us the last 4 years league.

For 11 straight games Reich has been the main architect of an offense that has been arguably the worst in the NFL. For those 11 games, I saw no coaching, no emotion, no fight from Reich. He kept burying his head in his play call sheet thinking that he could scheme and out smart the opponent.

People want to say that starting Matt Pryor at LT was on Ballard. No that was on Frank, because he had to options in Kelly and Raimann. Then Frank moves Pryor to RG, watches him not block anybody game after game, yet keeps trotting him out there.

Frank had to go because he failed to realize it's not the X's and O's it's Johnny's and Joe's.

I think that Reich can be a good head coach if he gets another job ...... but only if he cedes the play-calling responsibilities to the offensive coordinator.

As I pointed out before, a head coach's first line of defense in the proverbial blame game is the offensive coordinator ...... IF the offensive coordinator is the one whom is calling the plays. If the head coach himself is calling the plays and the offense goes to hell, all of the blame falls squarely at the feet of the head coach ...... and that is exactly what happened with Reich and the Colts this season.

I agree with this. Whoever our next HC is, I do not wanting him calling plays on either side of the ball.
