BIO
Frank Reich is in his first season as wide receivers coach of the Colts. He served from 2009-10 as quarterbacks coach with the club, and he served previously as offensive coaching staff assistant in 2008. He was a coaching intern with the club from 2006-07.
In 2010, QB-Peyton Manning was 450-679-4,700, 33 TDs/17 ints., Manning set club seasonal-bests in completions, attempts and yards, while his completion total also set the NFL seasonal record. Manning was selected to his 11th Pro Bowl, surpassing John Unitas for the most by a Colts QB and tying Brett Favre for the most by an NFL QB. Manning has started all 208 career games, the most ever to open a career by an NFL player at any position. The offense produced a franchise-record 13th consecutive season with 5,000+ net yards. Manning extended his own NFL records with his 13th consecutive 25+-TD season and an 11th 4,000+-yardage season. Manning has 11 double-digit victory seasons, the most by an NFL QB in the Super Bowl era. He ranks 3rd in NFL touchdown passes, and he stands as the only NFL QB with 200 more career scoring passes than interceptions. The club had the NFL’s top-ranked passing offense.
In 2009, Manning was 393-571-4,500, 33 TDs/16 ints., for a 99.9 rating and a franchise seasonal-record 68.8 completion percentage. Manning won an unprecedented fourth Associated Press Most Valuable Player Award (2003-04, 08-09), along with a 10th Pro Bowl bid. Manning became the 4th NFL QB with 50,000 career yards. The club had seven fourth-quarter comeback wins, the most by any team since the 1970 NFL Merger. The Colts had a league-record five consecutive fourth-quarter comeback wins. Indianapolis produced the NFL’s 2nd-ranked passing attack. In 2008, Indianapolis ranked 15th in NFL total offense and 3rd in AFC passing offense, 5th in the NFL. Manning was 371-555-4,002, 27 TDs/12 ints. The offense sported four receivers with 50+ receptions for only then the second time in franchise history (82, Reggie Wayne; 77, Dallas Clark; 60, Marvin Harrison; 57, Anthony Gonzalez). Wayne produced the fifth of his now seven consecutive 1,000+ seasons and earned a Pro Bowl bid. Clark set the franchise seasonal records for TE receptions and yards (848), then broke both again in 2009. The club surrendered 14 sacks, 4th-fewest in the NFL, while setting a club seasonal mark (since broken) by allowing one sack for every 42.8 pass attempts.
Reich was a 14-year NFL veteran quarterback. He was a D3-85 draft choice (57th overall) by Buffalo, where he played from 1985-94, before signing with Carolina in 1995. Reich spent 1996 with the New York Jets and 1997-98 with Detroit.
During his playing career, Reich engineered two of the greatest comebacks in football history. He first led the University of Maryland from a 31-0 deficit to Miami in 1984 to a 42-40 victory. It was then the greatest comeback in college football history. Then, in the 1992 AFC Wild Card Playoffs, starting for injured QB-Jim Kelly, Reich led Buffalo from a 35-3 third-quarter deficit to a 41-38 overtime comeback victory against Houston. It still stands as the greatest comeback in NFL history. Reich started the next game and led Buffalo to a victory against Pittsburgh in the Divisional Playoffs, before Kelly returned to help lead the team to the Super Bowl.
Reich was born December 4, 1961 in Freeport, N.Y. He resides with his wife, Linda, and their three children in Indianapolis.
