Frank Reich


Reich is working from his home office, where he has everything he needs right in front of him: a big-screen TV, his work computer, a computer to watch film, his tablet, his clicker — and a Dwight Freeney bobblehead for good measure.


The third-year Colts head coach really is balancing both draft preparation as well as heading up efforts for the start of the offseason workout program — whenever, and however, that will go.


Working from home has provided its challenges, for sure, but as Reich tells King, just because it's a different setup doesn't necessarily mean it's for the worst:


Reich always loved the occasional 10-minute session with a coach this time of year, the office pop-in to talk about a play for the offensive playbook or what he thinks of a particular draft prospect. "You miss a lot of the impromptu stuff," he said. But he said he reminds his coaches that virtual coaching and scouting still means coaching and scouting. "I do remind them every so often, 'Hey, just because we're home, we're not on vacation. We're not working half days, we're working full days. Structure your day. Plan your day.' "Reich also tells them to lock in with their families during the day if they can—just be sure to have the work done by the end of the day.
