I wonder if the eight owners and General Managers who are currently in the market for a new head coach were watching the Indianapolis Colts dominate the Houston Texans on Saturday and wondering: are we missing this year’s Frank Reich?



Last year at this time, Reich was not a hot candidate, even though the Eagles, the team he was the offensive coordinator of, were the best team in the NFC and soon to become Super Bowl Champions. Even so, Reich was not on the top of many lists, partly because of his firing as the offensive coordinator of the Chargers in January of 2016, partly because no one was certain who was helping Eagles head coach Doug Pederson the most, quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo or Reich, and perhaps also because he wasn’t quite as youthful and bright-eyed as some other candidates. In order to get “elected” as an NFL head coach these days, you must have a great public relations machine, as the days of being selected on coaching merit alone...
