IMO Reich deserves credit and should not be on the hot seat, which seems like a knee jerk reaction to the loss today. Even though today was disappointing, 11-5 and giving probably the 2nd best team in the AFC (and possibly NFL) everything they could handle is overall a really good season and definitely improvement YOY.
There are definitely some things he needs to improve on:
- Our end of half/game clock management needs a lot of improvement.
- He should probably reign in passing on FGs a bit. Not only did it cost us today, but it should have lost the game at Hou.
- He gets too cute on his play calling at times. The set of downs that led to said passed on FG being prime examples.
- He definitely needs work on his in game adjustments and inexplicably abandons the run too often.
If he cleans up some of that then he'll be a top flight coach IMO.
