Getting help from other coaches
The Colts are in an unprecedented time having to sift through a lost offseason. While most teams want to keep everything in-house, Reich hasn’t been afraid to reach out to other coaches around the league to see if there are better ways to combat the virus.
“It’s been a good spirit of camaraderie. We are figuring this out together, sharing ideas and how we are handling things, what are the protocols and where are there little nuances, how are you handling this, how are you handling that – just talking through roster dynamics and stuff like that. I think it’s been encouraging,” Reich said. ” It’s not surprising to me, but those conversations have been good and have been helpful. I’ve gotten one or two good ideas from other coaches and I hope I’ve given them one or two good ideas. So, it’s been good conversation.”
If the league wants to have a season, they will have to come together at least in this regard. Combating the virus will be almost as important as preparing for the season because they need to make sure there is a season to prepare for.
