I think it might be time to consider coaching changes in Buffalo. Not mid season but after this year especially if the Bills under perform. Coach McD is good but sometimes a change is needed. Same goes with Fraizer. The Bills seem to be unable to get over the hump. I'm thinking someone like Sean Payton. I know it's a premature discussion.

Gregg Williams still available?

chasing old QBs has been a failure

True, but it was totally understandable strategy given the talent elsewhere on that team. Gonna be a long slog now unless they get lucky with a QB in the draft. 

[ddaryl]

Reich is a class act, he won't be without a job for long..... I'm thinking he will be a top HC candidate for next season

My guess is they didn't trust him to develop Ehlinger and thought he might be doing more harm than good

[GunnerBill]

Surprised it happened mid-season. But it is the right decision. 

[TheFunPolice]

benching Matt Ryan was a dumb move. 

 

Matty Ice was like 3rd or 4th in the league in passing yards when he went to the bench, and I was told (Brady) that passing yards=playing at a high level. 

 

Sad for Reich, but the Colts are just a mess

Is there really anything there to develop?  My guess is that ownership wanted the Ryan/Foles ship fixed & he went his own way and lost.

Next years offensive assistant.

 

Then QB coach when Dorsey gets a HC job. 
 

Then OC when Brady gets a HC job. 

Expand  

why wait. this dude has a great offensive mind. Better OC than HC. I think Indy's QB decisions is what failed Frank the most.

 

Give the dude his dream shot coming home to buffalo as A. OC. 

[Chandler#81]

Chin up, Frank. We gotcher back! You’ll be employed again soon!

 

McAfee on the dismissal

Dougie P ran the Iggles offense.

I can't believe that Hackett lasted longer.

Dorsey getting a HC job is so three weeks ago.

Expand  

HACKet is only lasting longer because they JUST signed him, if this was his 3rd year, he’d be gone too. 
 

Dorsey may still get looks this off-season, we’ll see what the rest of the year looks like.

I find it hard to believe he has held any job at the NFL level

His offense was brutally boring and predictable in San Diego. I really like Frank but don’t want him on this staff. 

[Charles Romes]

He was coach of the year imo in 2021 through week 15 having restored wentz off the scrap heap.  Did the best anyone could ask for in qb purgatory.

Sean Payton has the same win pct as mcdermott and lost some playoff games in incredible fashion while having a HOF QB. How s he an upgrade? 

Expand  

He’s famous ?

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Maybe we could bring him in as some sort of offensive assistant to help get Dorsey dialed in on some adjustments. Colts offense was well designed. The QB was just completely washed up and horrendous

It was pretty well established that ownership mandated that Ryan doesn't play again (I think they're on the hook for his contract next year if he were to be injured) and they wanted to see if Ehlinger is worth giving a shot

[Nextmanup]

I know it hasn't gone well in Indy, but this still kind of surprises me, especially the timing.

 

He'll find jobs forever in this league, but maybe not a HC gig.

Ok I guess I hadn't heard. Are we sure that Irsay didn't hire Russ Brandon as his CEO?
