In all seriousness, I like the hire. If I were to describe a coach I wanted, I would say someone with both NFL and college experience, at different levels (position coach, coordinator, head coach), and for a bunch of different teams or programs; that way you know they've seen a lot of football from all angles and have the right knowledge base upon which to make informed decisions. I'm not going to pretend that 100% guarantees success, but it's a pretty good foundation. Reich gives us most of those, and darn near all of them, and considering we're doing this in late March when the pool has significantly dried up, it's about as close as you're going to get for now. We'll have to see what the results are, given that NIL and transfers are still uphill battles for us, but I don't know if I could think of a much better choice that would actually say yes.
