It's sad Norm because as a human, definitely you want to like him and root for him- at leas the perception he crafts. But as a football coach, he is atrocious. I am not a huge fan of Dacich but I am 100% in his camp when he says that Frank has no sense for the game, he really doesn't. 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!

Well said Chopped. Something that helps Reich's reputation out is that despite being a bad coach he is still considerably better than his predecessor. But that's like saying cheap hotdogs are great b/c they taste better than dog shit.

Where I think Reich really lets us down as a coach in in game coaching. We never seem to make adjustments at half time. If we are losing, we are going to lose. No capability to turn it around at all. Not sure if there is anything he can do about that. It just isn't in him.

[Hoopsdoc]

Reich failed because he believed in Wentz. He’s a good coach, he just needs to cut Wentz loose. He’ll never win anything with that turd.

I think this crow tastes better than any of the turkey or ham that I had tonight !!!

This organization is NEVER going to do jack with this bum as the head cheese.

That's a double-reverse ...... something that I think that the Colts' offense should try more of.

He had a good game against The Cards. One of very very few.

Elvis Grbac threw for over 500 yards... once as well.
