In fact Frank Reich was the OC on that Eagles SB winning team. But, Frank had never called plays, even on that SB winning team. Doug Pederson was the play caller. I wasn't a Reich fan as a play caller. I think the Jests, and in particular Aaron Glenn will rue the day they hired him. I mean, look how much he had Bryce Young screwed up in Carolina.
I believe, that Steichen has always called the plays when he was the OC at San Diego and Philly.
For that reason, and many more, Steichen is very respected in the NFL as a play caller. Steichen usually has 3 to 4 plays a game that are called to produce mismatches that have the opportunity to provide chunk plays.
