Fire frank reich
So, this article just appeared on Yahoo. This is Frank's response in regards to the lack of the run and throwing it 26 times straight:
"Normally someone will say something to me. Nothing was said to me during that stretch but sometimes something like that will be said,” Reich said. “The reason probably no one was saying anything was because a lot of the things we were calling were working. A lot of them were working against a really good defense. So, I think that’s probably why.”
Says it all. The response is so low-key snarky and to me personifies what I bet he is like in terms of being "smart" and others not being so leave him alone. However the thing that stands out to me is the very first statement:
"Normally someone will say something to me. Nothing was said to me during that stretch but sometimes something like that will be said,”
So the head cheese admits that others on the staff / team have had to question what he is doing with play calling during games- ala- "do you realize what you are doing". "NORMALLY"- so is it like pretty much an every game thing, because as a fan, it's pretty damn close to that, seldom do you watch him coach and feel "good" about his overall management. He is a QB coaching a QB he wants to prop up because of his emotional investment in him. It's creating hero ball stuff and it's killing this very good, very well rounded team.
If he isn't fired, Ballard isn't holding up his end of the deal. This guy is a disaster, he is way too focused on what HE can do vs what the TEAM can do. He needs to go!
