I think those questions about how he'd mesh are silly, given his relationship with 24 year-old Jordan Hudson. If anything, his players can always see if coaches gf has any friends she can hook his players up with. And if coaches gf has/gets silicone implants, the show could retitle to Hard Knockers.

Incoming Pitt Freshman CB Mason Alexander was sadly killed in a car accident Saturday night. He was a 4* recruit, was going to enroll early and start spring practice later this month. From the little bit I saw of him on signing day and doing media recently, he seemed like a good kid with a promising future. He was only 18 man, way too young. RIP and prayers to his friends and family.

That is awful. I hate deaths like these happening.

Just seems weird to intentionally hire an interim coach, especially with not much college experience.

Eh, it's just Stanford GM Andrew Luck (former Stanford QB) doing a favor for his former NFL head coach (former Stanford QB).

What's weird is the wording makes it seem like they aren't doing a search until *after* next season. If I were them, I'd be putting some research in over the next year, not waiting a year.

Yeah, a weird situation all around. Moving on from the other coach definitely had to happen considering the allegations. But, hearing a NFL coach to be an intentional interim HC is odd. Reich contract will only be 7-8 months, so literally until the end of season. He will not interview for Full Time position. Which to me says, Luck is doing his former HC a favor. Reich obviously wants to continue to coach. Him not interviewing for Full Time spot, says that he doesn't want to stay at the college level. He seems like the type that wants another NFL HC job, but doesn't want to drop back down to a OC. I get it. When some finally become "in charge", it's hard to go back to being 2nd in command. He's only 63, so he's not too old. But, I don't see him flipping being an interim HC at Stanford to being a NFL HC again. He'd have to win 8+ games. I see him having to be a NFL OC again. But, I don't think he interviewed this offseason. I thought he would've been good option for the Eagles OC given that him and Sirrani are close



Yeah it doesn't make sense to wait to do a search. Reich already knows he's in a one and done situation, so it shouldn't be a distraction. What's the worse that can happen, you find your target early and hope he stays available. At the very least, either hire a search firm like others do or spend this year doing research and trying to work with AD in making this a more desirable job
