Smart, imho.

****ing balls. Good hires, Pederson is moving quickly. I always like HC's that bring in experienced, and successful to boot, coordinators.

I like Frank for obvious reasons.. but don't know whether he's a good coach or not. Still wish him the best.

Feel exactly the same. Wish him well. Somebody on the radio said that Rivers flourished while Reich was there. I haven't followed them to know one way or another. But Reich could certainly make a name for himself if he got Bradford going in the right direction.

I wouldn't call Reich a successful coordinator just yet.

I think Reich interests me because he was known to be a student of the game, has some good QB coach and OC experience, and I remember it being said he was considered a manager type. Worked with Dungy, Whisenhunt, Levy, Marchibroda, Peyton Manning, Jim Kelley of course, and Philip Rivers during his career. Pederson is going to call his own plays anyway, so I'm not too sure about Reich as an OC either, and I doubt this stop will prove much, but the guy has a resume going.

I think his recent firing by San Diego doesn't say much, Mike McCoy is an offensive coach with his hands in the pie, and I think a lot of Charger issues are McCoy anyway. They had to fire someone to protect McCoy.

I think Reich has an interesting career going, and really would have preferred he'd have continued it here, like 8-8 would have been beyond his grasp with Schwartz still on staff.
