Overview
- Reich, introduced Wednesday as offensive coordinator, praised Geno Smith as a perfect fit and said the quarterback’s best football is ahead.
- He outlined a plan to lean on the run, build off last year’s ground game, add more punch in the pass, and sharpen situational execution.
- Smith arrived in a March trade from the Raiders and is set to start after Justin Fields was benched last year and dealt to Kansas City.
- Reich said a longstanding bond with head coach Aaron Glenn helped draw him back to the NFL after serving as Stanford’s interim coach in 2025.
- The move targets an offense that ranked 29th in points and yards last season, with Reich set to tailor schemes to the line, Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall, and a deep tight end group as the rebuild continues.
