Before that, he was the offensive coordinator of the Eagles and helped Philadelphia beat the New England Patriots, 41-33, in Super Bowl LII with Nick Foles at quarterback.
CBS’s Jonathan Jones: Reich was the Colts head coach for 4-plus seasons. He was on the inaugural Panthers team as a QB in 1995. He becomes the sixth head coach in team history.
Rapoport: Steve Wilks got a second interview and did a very nice job on the field and in his interviews. Interestingly, Kellen Moore really, really stood out in this process. The #Cowboys OC made this a very tough decision.
