respk Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Good to see Reich possibly moving up. Hope he gets the job. OC now. Bills head coach candidate when Marrone is let go.
YoloinOhio Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Reich officially named OC in SD http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/14/chargers-promote-frank-reich-to-offensive-coordinator/
simpleman Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I could be wrong, they may have just been talking about the cheerleaders, but I remember Reich was always very involved in the games he was backup. Huddling with Kelly and the coaches and his clipboard while the defense was on the field. I always thought he was an extra set of eyes for Kelly during the game. Looking for weaknesses and tendencies. It seemed he was an extra member of the coaching staff even back then, A real intelligent student of the game with great QB instincts. Not just a backup waiting for the starter to get hurt and waiting for his big chance on the field like most back ups.
Chump Change Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Who wouldn't want to be in SD? Haha, I agree. Plus he has a QB already. It was 81 degrees here yesterday, so you got that right!
DallasBillsFan1 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Recent interview from Chargers website: http://www.chargers.com/news/article-1/Get-to-Know-Frank-Reich/5e9c1dc8-72aa-4fb4-85f3-18dedde76781
Kellyto83TD Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 It also goes to show that great players rarely make the best coaches. Reich is probably a much better coach than Kelly would ever be. But good for Reich. I can't disagree with that and neither would Kelly.
YoloinOhio Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 It was 81 degrees here yesterday, so you got that right! Most perfect weather in the country
RyanC883 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) do we have a WR coach yet? If not, perhaps Reed? (well, I guess as long as he is good friends w/ Marrone, which seems to be the requirement for being a coach here). But, back to the thread, glad to see that F. Reich is the OC in San Diego. It's been a long time coming. Hopefully a HC job is next. Edited January 15, 2014 by RyanC883
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Who wouldn't want to be in SD? Junior Seau?? Ouchhh.....
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Good for Reich. He deserves the shot. Very interesting that the HC in S.D ,McCoy, realized you need an OC with NFL exp AND a QB coach with NFL exp. Meanwhile Buffalo has 1 guy doing both OC and QB coach, neither position he has ever held at the NFL level. Another thing Marrone should but most likely will not address, thus leaving us with another 6-10 year.
yungmack Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 People forget, Frank is a committed Christian, with strong ties to the Bible Belt. Yes SD is a better climate, but OC in SD vs. OC in TN, could be a tough choice for him, esp with SD's stadium issues. If Frank could turn CJ2K into a faster Thurmal, that would be a start right there. I'm for committing all of them.

That said, I think Marrone spends a lot of time working with EJ as well.

That said, I think Marrone spends a lot of time working with EJ as well. Of course.... while I think a QB coach can usually be helpful, sometimes it isn't depending on the QB (I think Fitz regressed under David Lee). Hackett is inexperienced but Marrone isn't.
thewildrabbit Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Nice...always wished Frank had become a part of the Bills coaching staff... http://espn.go.com/n...or-void-appears Who knows, as he just might someday Good to see such a good guy get a great opportunity
Gerry Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Could Reich be the next HC of the Bills? Personally, I do not believe Marrone will succeed in taking the Bills to the playoffs, but he will probably get to finish out his contract. By then, Reich will be ready for a HC gig..

Personally, I do not believe Marrone will succeed in taking the Bills to the playoffs, but he will probably get to finish out his contract. By then, Reich will be ready for a HC gig.. It's a strong possibility, but won't happen. I look back though and wonder why Frank wasn't considered for a QB coaching job here, so won't get my hopes up on him coming here to be our HC. More often than not, coaching selections are not based on aptitude. Nevertheless, I wish him all the best!
