Jeff Saturday says that Reich will take advantage of having smart players:
“Frank understands how to simplify the game,” Saturday said. “He wants guys to play fast and physical, and he wants them to be smart. And you’re at an institution where you’re already going to have the higher end of intellect anyway. He understands more isn’t always better. He’ll bring a foundation of what he wants to get executed. That part I don’t think he’ll have a difficult part.”
Long-ago Stanford recruit Austin Collie said Reich’s amenable nature will endear himself to a locker room shaken by poor seasons and a head coach being dismissed.
“He’s got this phenomenal ability to come down to the players’ level and make guys feel comfortable and feel wanted,” Collie said. “He will validate their talent and skill set and what they bring to the team. But he has high standards and expectations for everybody around him.”
Nice story that provides a bit of hope…but I kinda wish Saturday said he was coming to help the OL coaches out…
