Former Panthers/Colts head coach Frank Reich is the interim (or intervening) head coach for Stanford this Fall.
Could he just be plotting to make a return to the NFL while Stanford looks for a real coach?
Brian Smith of ‘The Portal’ explains why.
This segment is from Wednesday’s episode of Locked On College Football with Spencer McLaughlin: WHAT COULD IT BE? Frank Reich to Stanford A PLOY for Reich to return to the NFL?
Good for Cardinal?
