What Colts Coach Frank Reich Needs to Show During Camp

Frank Reich is a brand new head coach to the NFL. He has several things he needs to learn. But there are certain things he needs to show during training camp to show fans he knows what he is doing.

The Colts feel comfortable with the man that they hired to take over for Chuck Pagano. Frank Reich is by all accounts a great man and a great football mind. He helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl last season with a backup quarterback. But he is still learning how to be a head coach.

Reich needs to show Colts fans a few things to make them feel more comfortable that he can handle the job. One of those things is implementing his new offense effectively. He and offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni need to make sure everyone learns the new offense early and can use if effectively.

Reich also needs to make sure he spends time on the defensive side of the ball. As an offensive guy his whole life, he hasn’t needed to worry about defense up to this point. But as a head coach he needs to make sure both units are learning the new systems well.

The newness of being a head coach will wear off a little bit once the regular season starts. At that point, you’re just going off of instinct and focusing on what’s best to do in the game. But this is the time of year where preparations are made to be successful in any situation the time might find themselves in.

Reich doesn’t need to try to do too much in his first season. As long as he can teach the new offense and allow players to grow into their roles, he should do fine in his first season as a head coach.
