Frank Reich finishes his Colts career with a 40-34-1 record, the final nail coming in a 26-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
But the Colts never won an AFC South title under Reich, and the coach’s tenure in Indianapolis began to go wrong immediately after the 2020 season ended. Philip Rivers, the veteran quarterback Reich publicly declared he wanted back in Indianapolis for a second season, retired, and Reich"stuck his neck out" for the Colts to go get Carson Wentz, believing he could rehabilitate his former protégé's career.
“The offensive performance, that’s why I was brought here, that’s my responsibility,” Reich said in the aftermath of Sunday’s loss. “We’ve got players that are plenty good enough. I have to do a better job. It starts with me on offense. I’ve got to do a better job getting guys ready to play, putting guys in good position to win and having answers when we face problems.”
For example, the Colts committed to Ryan for two seasons after the trade, both publicly and financially, and Irsay said at times in the offseason that he believed Ryan could pause the team's revolving door at the quarterback position even longer than two years. "I think we have a really good head coach in Frank, who’s had to navigate some pretty tough situations at the quarterback position, and he’s been tremendous,” Ballard said. “I think we’re 11th in wins since he got here, and four starting quarterbacks. That’s pretty good, man. I think he’s really special.
