Brought together by circumstance, Frank Reich has come to value Matt Eberflus' flexibility

INDIANAPOLIS — Frank Reich and Matt Eberflus were brought together by a decision somebody else made.

Far from an ideal situation. Arranged marriages rarely work for long in coaching, a profession driven by relationships. Dave DeGuglielmo and Mike Phair, the other two coaches hired by Josh McDaniels before he backed out, are already gone.

But Reich and Eberflus seem made for each other, even though they hadn’t met before joining forces as head coach and defensive coordinator.

“I’m happy with ‘Flus in a million ways,” Reich said. “I think he’s a great coach, has great demeanor, very disciplined and very strong convictions.
