Doesn't really matter who he named to call the plays. After the second snap you will be ranting about him being fired

Oh bullshit! 2nd snap won't even be enough to go 3 and out so automatically he will still be ahead of Frank at that mile marker!

Man I am good with the extremity of this shake up- this team needed a radical departure from the norm, something to shake loose all the bullshit Frank embedded in these competitors. I have ranted that the dude walking up the street would do a better job than Frank, and I stick to that, we're not that far away from it incredibly- and that tells me Jim felt the same fucking way. Sunday was the culmination of a long slow spiral to butt. Not sure how but the professionalism mantra morphed into complacency and it was awful to see. Some where down the road the truth is going to emerge about how this all went down, and I expect it is going to be a wild tale.

I am going to support this new regime and I hope we see some crazy things out of them. It literally could not get any more morose than what it has been this year.

The offensive line has been handing out wins all year.

Until and unless the offensive line starts to play at at least a respectable level, it won't matter if the team is coached by Tony Dungy, Bill Parcells, or Mr. T.

I can't say that I've ever heard of a "pass game specialist" before. Brave new era I guess.

Keep in mind a lot of HCs are more CEO types. This is the way Dungy was. He was a not involved in the day to day Xs and Os and game planning. He delegated and made sure everyone was doing their job and of courses hired guys who understood his Tampa 2 system. He more or less let Moore and Manning do their thing on offense and didn’t bring that old “Dungy ball” approach.

So I would look for more of that from Saturday. He is probably fielding advice from Dungy this week, not to mention all the years he spent observing how Dungy did things. And of course he can’t come in and implement any sort of system. He’s going to let the current staff continue to run the system that is in place, but he is hopefully going to be there to provide leadership and accountability, and start fixing whatever fucked up culture is happening within the team.

I’ve said many times it seems that Reich was too much of a players coach, didn’t work them hard in camp, gives them easy days during the week, and seemingly not holding anyone accountable. I think that’s why they always have slow starts, they aren’t prepared because Reich doesn’t making them prepare hard.

I’m also seeing an interesting theme emerge from Irsay’s comments and many interpretations of it, that this era of analytics is making for some bad football. All this stuff about genius coaches is pretty dumb. You don’t have to be that smart to understand football, and we’ve all been complaining about Reich always trying to be “too smart” and doing weird shit that never works. So maybe we’re going to see some intuitive, schematic football now, and instead of that pseudo-cerebral stuff Reich was trying.

The main thing I might expect to see Saturday mess up is in-game stuff. He hasn’t been on the sideline in action for awhile, so things like time outs, clock management, challenges, all that procedural stuff, he might mess up here and there. I know he understands that side of the game but I’m sure that without too much experience, and under the time pressure of a live game, it’s easy to get lost in processing too much information and make a mistake. I hope he is planning to use his staff effectively to aid him both during the week and in-game.
