And who knows, it probably wasn’t gonna work here anyway after everything that went down. Irsay absolutely DETESTED Wentz and Frank was directly responsible for bringing him here. That was Franks mistake and I don’t think Jim ever really got over it.

It just drives me insane to see everyone dumping all the blame on Reich when he was clearly not the problem. That became painfully obvious the minute Jeff Saturday showed up.

As for Sean Payton, if the Panthers felt he was head and shoulders better than Reich, they would have paid the price necessary to get him. That’s kind of my point. They obviously didn’t think there was that much of a difference.

Pierce was on one of the drive time shows today. He was asked about the difference in having Frank vs Saturday. He made a very telling statement. He said Frank was a very nice guy, pretty soft spoken. He referred to him as a "mind". Said Saturday was more of an energy guy, more of a fire people up guy.

Definitely sounds like Frank struck people as the thinker and implementer much more than the leader.

I don't think you can succeed in the NFL as a head coach without being that guy that the locker room looks at as their leader vs their teacher.
