Frank Reich happy for Bryce Young after 'terrible' start in NFL

Frank Reich said he is happy for Bryce Young after what he described as a "terrible" start to the quarterback's NFL career with the Carolina Panthers.

Reich, now the interim head coach at Stanford, was entrusted with Young's NFL growth under center in 2023, but the relationship was cut short early when Panthers owner David Tepper fired Reich just 11 games into his first season after a 1-10 start.

Young struggled under Reich's tutelage, something that carried over to 2024 when the former Heisman Trophy winner was benched two games into the season by new coach Dave Canales only to reclaim the starting job in late October.
