I’m meh on this. I don’t think it’s his fault, but I didn’t think he was that great either.

Keefer has indicated that Reich will take over the OC job duties for the rest of this season.

I am guessing this means that Reich will have a little more face time with the players on offense now.

And not ideal that there isn't another coach here because Reich used the OC as a sounding board when developing the game plan. So I guess Reich will be talking with himself now.

But yes, Frank has almost always called the plays on offense on game day so no change for that task.

It’s the fact that this line has become shit overnight. Who here thought Nelson/Smith/Kelly would be this bad? Who thought we couldn’t find a r guard who was adequate? Fischer over Leno is enough to get Ballard fired. I cannot think of offensive linemen who has regressed this much in so quick a time. Coaching may not be up to par but this is on Ballard almost totally. He kept bragging about knowing how to bring in the ‘right’ kind of players, self-motivators that he and his staff could pick out. It seemed like a difficult thing to do, get inside someone’s head like that, and obviously he didn’t. He instead gave huge money to guys who obviously only care about making money-they got their contracts and don’t give a shit. Oh they will talk a good game but what they put out on the field says everything to me. I can’t stand this commitment to mediocrity this team has.

After reading this it brings back a memory of Ballard comments. I believe it was 2018 Colts training camp. Not sure what year it was. But his words were.

Ballard: I screwed it up last year, I should’ve addressed it last year. I didn’t address the depth. It taught me a great lesson that we’re gonna fix it.


So here the Colts are again OL terrible..

Sorry for the confusion. It was sarcasm towards the Colts.
