I am not sure if he is any better or worse than McDaniels but that sure seems like an uninspiring hire.

Although Pederson looked like a pretty meh hiring at the time as well and he now is a SB champ so maybe it will work out great.

Eagles getting killed in the post-championship hiring frenzy.

Can't even promote DeFillipo to OC now.

This Colts fan takes this hiring with cautious optimism. Let's see how it all works out.

You should be.

Looks like a done deal.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Well they announced it. I'm assuming that means a contract is signed this time lol.

I know Colts fans are a bit...lukewarm to this hiring (given how it does look like settling given the circumstances) but take it from a Dolphins fan; Reich is probably a better route to take as compared to Dan Campbell.

Campbell's one of those guys who talked big and motivational, but was clearly not qualified to be a head coach.

May be one of the few, but I like this as a Colts fan.

Not gonna lie, I was starting to sell myself a bit on Dantallica. Mostly for the nickname, but still, wouldn't have hated it at first. Having said that, yeah this is the better hire. Probably don't need another motivator, need someone who can help the offense.

Also, great to see everyone have such a great sense of humor about this:

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Dan Campbell would have been a disaster. This is a good hire given the circumstances. It'll look even better if Luck returns to full strength.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Colts did as a good of a job as they could under the circumstance. Good for them.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Not a bad hire. And truth be told, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he turned out better for them than McDaniels would've.

Faint praise.

Interesting you seem to be calling out Hasbro about McDaniels stuff but aren't you same guy who trashes a certain former bald Vikings coach often?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Faint praise.

No doubt, but aside from being stuck with three of his guys, my central thesis point is that they dodged a bullet by not getting McDaniels. Honestly expect it to blow up in the Pats' faces whenever the transition happens between Belichick and McDaniels. Reich is at least a decent hire in my book.

We can all hope.

When have I ever said anything bad about Brad Childress?

I'm an Eagles fan
I met Reich this past summer & he couldn't have been nicer
His play calling this season was superb & I think the Colts could have a very good HC in the making here

The rest of the people should be ashamed that they didn’t “like” this.

 

[MMC]

Was thought by many to be a meh hire, but he has done an awesome job this season.

Frank Reich should definitely be in the running for coach of the year.
