I keep forgetting the HCs that are losing their jobs, but Frank Reich has been fired.
Frank Reich had a terrible tenure in Carolina, but it may not be all his fault. He DID want Stroud, which is a big feather in his cap, but ownership overruled the staff for Bryce Young.
Reich has coordinated under Doug Pederson, who we interviewed for our OC job in 2021 but he was holding out for another HC job. Frank Reich led the Andrew Luck Colts to 10-6 in his first year, but couldn't find his groove with the one-year vets he had to use as replacements in the coming years.
Reich was the offensive coordinator of the Eagles when they won the Super Bowl off of Nick Foles run, and presided over Carson Wentz playing MVP-level ball until his injury that year.
Reich is quoted about his offensive philosophy as stating: "It's a passing league, but you have to run the ball to be a championship team."
Prior to that, he was the OC of the Chargers for 3 seasons, ultimately being fired in 2016.
In his tenure as head coach, he has generally been the primary playcaller. His Colts teams were above average on explosives and fourth down conversions.
As of now, I think Frank Reich is the favorite to get our OC job, should Waldron be fired. I know many will be skeptical of that, but I expect them to at least interview him, as he fits the profile they have considered at OC before. We need a steady hand, and I think they're going to lean toward experience.
