I know what everyone is thinking… who cares right? I know Frank was not the coach we wanted him to be. I personally was not the biggest fan of his play calling and coaching style, as most of us weren’t. But I just honestly feel bad for the man struggling over there in Carolina. I was pulling for the panthers tonight just to hopefully give Frank a little boost of energy. I was sure tired of watching the Colts play with him in command and I am the biggest Steichen supporter, but I would love to see Frank succeed as a coach over in Carolina. Anyone else feel kinda bad for him? Or feel the same way about seeing him be a solid coach?

Frank imo is just more suited for a Offensive Coordinator role, he just doesn’t have the energy or say the right things to really get a team play inspired football. The team needs to have some really strong leaders in the locker room that inspire the team because it won’t come from Frank.
He should’ve not jumped right back into a HC job. Should’ve sat this year out
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Take some time off, become a OC or QB coach somewhere and work out the kinks
He shouldve taken a year off to evaluate himself… maybe he thought he wouldnt get another chance if he waited
The last bryce young QB school vid (i posted it in here) paints a pretty poor picture of Reich. While Carolina currently doesnt have a lot of pieces, they look poorly coached and running absolutely terrible route schemes
When he had his beard a few years ago and his round glasses my son used to say he looked like a “friendly wizard” so we have always referred to him that way since.
He seems like such a good guy - I always root for him.
Sympathy for Frank Reich
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a coach of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for long, long years
Preaching process and calling plays.
Pleased to meet you.
Hope you guessed my name.
Frank certainly isn’t built to coach/energize a garbage roster, and man is that offensive roster brutal. Theilen is the WR1 and wouldn’t be higher than a WR3 on nearly every other team in the NFL. OL can’t block anyone. And Bryce certainly isn’t overcoming the deficiencies.
Just a brutal offseason for the Panthers. Obviously the Young pick/trade. Brought in Sanders, Chark, and Hurst on offense who have collectively been useless and none of them are number 1 at their position anymore (or less than useless). Bozeman was predicted by PFF to be ~16th at beginning of season and is ranked 34th right now. Theilen was a good signing.
I think it’s a fools errand to try to grade coaches of terrible rosters (Andy Reid and Belichick have both been fired, Belichick has two wins this year, Walsh went 2-14 his first year, etc), but not a great couple of years for Frank
