discussed the possibility<\/a> of Reich becoming an adviser to Sirianni in Philadelphia.<\/p>\nAfter Kevin Patullo was fired, Sirianni didn\u2019t interview Reich to become the Eagles\u2019 offensive coordinator. Reich ultimately got a better opportunity to run the offense in New York, for a head coach whose specialty is defense.<\/p>\n
The pressure seems to be relatively the same in both organizations, for different reasons. With the Eagles, there\u2019s a very high bar. With the Jets, there\u2019s urgency to finally exceed a very low bar.<\/p>\n
With the Jets, there\u2019s also flexibility at the quarterback position. Reich surely will have some say when it comes to who they\u2019ll acquire.<\/p>\n
Pompei writes that Reich jokingly called Andrew Luck, the Stanford G.M., about playing for the Jets. Last year, it was Luck who tabbed Reich to take the reins of a Stanford program that was in turmoil.<\/p>\n
Reich, as the Eagles\u2019 offensive coordinator, helped the franchise win its first Super Bowl in 2017. He parlayed that into a twelfth-hour candidacy to become the coach of the Colts. Luck\u2019s retirement sparked a revolving door that ultimately prompted Jim Irsay to roll the dice on Jeff Saturday. Then, only 11 games into Reich\u2019s first season with the Panthers, he was unceremoniously fired and ushered out of the building by security.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s still getting his head-coaching salary from Carolina through 2026. And Reich has a chance to remind everyone that he knows a thing or two about designing and calling plays. Especially if the Jets can get a quarterback who\u2019ll be able to effectively and consistently execute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During the first three years of Frank Reich\u2019s tenure as head coach of the Colts, Nick Sirianni served…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483934,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-483933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483933"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483933\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
