Frank Reich

Frank Michael Reich (; RYKE; born December 4, 1961) is an American football coach and former player. He played 14 seasons as a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL). He became a coach afterwards, including head coaching stints with the Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers, and Stanford. Reich played college football for the Maryland Terrapins and was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the third round of the 1985 NFL draft. He spent most of his career backing up Jim Kelly, although Reich achieved recognition after leading the Bills to the NFL's largest postseason comeback during the 1992–93 NFL playoffs, which was also the largest comeback in any game, including the regular season, in NFL history until December 17, 2022, when the Minnesota Vikings staged a comeback against the Colts, four games after Reich had been fired from his head-coaching position and been replaced by interim head coach Jeff Saturday. The Vikings' comeback was 33 points, one more than the Reich and the Bills' comeback against the Houston Oilers in January 1993. After retiring as a player, Reich began a coaching career. Holding assistant positions from 2008 to 2017, he was the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles when they won their first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl LII. Reich later served as the head coach of the Colts from 2018 to 2022 and guided the team to two playoff appearances. He was the Panthers' head coach in 2023 before being fired before the end of the season after a 1–10 record. In 2025, he served as the interim coach for Stanford before transitioning into an advisory role under new permanent head coach Tavita Pritchard.
