Who do we want, who do we need as our next HC and, or GM?

Well, in Pegula's defense, the Rex hire was at the urging of Russ Brandon, who was more interested in marketing than building a quality team. -

The routes dont seem to be ones that generate separation. I dont have all 22 so cant speak for every play. But it seems most of the times our routes are not even run at full speed. They are hooks into zones and comebacks, they are short slow hitches. It seems like every play is designed for the ball to go to a primary target and everyone else is a safety valve just standing in a spot. Then you have the two and three guys in the same area. It looks like a mess. Would love to sit in on the meetings to see if this mess is by design or if there is something not translating. Because at this point our offense success comes from good running game by Cook, Allen scrambles and runs or Allen scrambles around and we hit the backyard football pass. Rarely do we see success in the passing game that looks in rhythm - Josh sees guy throws ball to open receiver (unless its the wr screen of course). -

Do you think the Chiefs would beat the Patriots as a 7th seed?

I hope you're right, but Maye has been doing more with less than CJ Stroud's good season. -

I watch the All-22 from time to time and this is what I notice regularly: 1) There's lots of wide receivers who are not running full out on every passing play. 2) There's lots of pass rushers who throttle down when they calculate that they have no hope of catching up with the play. Most of the time this sort of common behavior only becomes a talking point when fans decide they want to criticize a player. You have a serious problem with reading comprehension. I said exactly: "As I pointed out to you before, people don't know exactly what happened between Allen and Beane regarding Coleman except for the quotes, posts, etc. indicating that Josh was factually in favor of drafting Coleman. Without actual evidence to the contrary, the reasonable position is that Josh had some sort of input, perhaps a tie-breaking vote." And please answer this question: What does anything I posted have to do with rabble rousing?

Ryan Day, but we'd probably lose to the Lions every time we played them. They keep putting the Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman in the lists for the Giants opening, so that might be an option. But he makes a ton at ND. -

Whoever it is, make sure they are not satisfied by simply reaching the playoffs. Get rid of “playoff caliber” and bring in “championship or bust” -

Doug wanted him and fought hard for him to be hired. It was the first and only time in his tenure as GM that Pegula gave him who he wanted as a HC. -

In terms of coaching I'm not looking to replace McDermott but guys on my long term radar that could be inline do could be the next crop are Klint Kubiak, Shane Day Marcus Brady and/or Cam Turner when looking for offensive minded. I can't suggest defensive minded as haven't done any diving on that side of the ball yet. -

Any promising HCs in college? I dont watch College FB except for Cuse and I want nothing to do with anyone from there for coaches. How about Kingbury for OC? He had Daniel's balling last year. I like many on this board dont think Pegs will fire McD this year. -

I don't know if you quite have to go there, but I was definitely b'ing and moaning early in the Dolphins game about them not making even the slightest bit of effort whatsoever to run the offense at any kind of pace. -

Bruce Coslet is still alive at the ripe young age of 79. Why not him? Bruce Ariens is only 73. -

There's a saying I embrace which is that "If you're the smartest guy in the room, you're in the wrong room." So, no, I don't feel particularly smart but there's lots of people who are obviously stupid. 🤣 This is possibly true but another poster trying to correct me on a different topic suggests that politics plays a big role in pro sports which is actually true... just not in every conspiracy theory case. With regards to a franchise QB having some influence over personnel matters, it definitely exists and sometimes the outcomes are good and sometimes they're bad. Tom Brady is a part owner of the Raiders and has never been a scout... but on one doubts that he'll have heavy input into the remodeling of the Raiders franchise. To the point, we can only guess at Josh's personnel input and how good he is at it. The numbers aren't bad. The testimony of many credible evaluators is that he's not playing to his own standards and that's my belief too. He played well against KC and then reverted to bad habits against Miami. He's been very inconsistent this year. As I pointed out to you before, people don't know exactly what happened between Allen and Beane regarding Coleman except for the quotes, posts, etc. indicating that Josh was factually in favor of drafting Coleman. Without actual evidence to the contrary, the reasonable position is that Josh had some sort of input, perhaps a tie-breaking vote. In your previous 6 paragraph screed on the subject your opinion was that Josh is a company man and was just being supportive of the pick, though posters both before and after you provided evidence of Josh's genuine support of the pick. Of course those that believe that Josh had meaningful input into the Coleman pick will have the right to take a victory lap if it all works out. Hmmm... "If EVERY Wide receiver is the problem, then it's probably the offensive coordinator." All of our receivers suck and our QB is regressing and inconsistent. Why wouldn't that be a coaching issue? I think people are putting way too much into that and now that we're in the pitchfork phase, doubly so. Just keep in mind James Cook's demeanor and the criticism he received regularly for the belief that he didn't care about this team. The rabble rousing here is textbook mob mentality. Everyone's pissed off and wants their pound of flesh.

It is an interesting question. I have actually thought Terry has said he is staying hands off and McB has carte blanche for what they want. On the flipside I would argue they could be more aggressive because truthfully Bills fans have been very good even in really bad years, whereas LA if you don't win they just dont care. That is really important because that is an easy ace in the hole cap wise when the times come and the longer you can go without touching those the better.

If the idea of trading for a HC crosses your mind, beat yourself about the head with a ball peen hammer. We have a bottom 15 roster as it is, there is no need to compound that problem by losing 1st round picks. Hire the hottest HC, then give him nothing to work with--great plan. -

I thought I read somewhere that the NFL recommended McD to Terry. I dont recall the details of that. Maybe others on this board recall if that is true or not? -

From all accounts, Whaley was the driver behind that one. And then he got fired by the guy he got hired. -

Worked great with Baker till he turned into the Bake Show -
He was able to extract a Moratorium on Mischief, which was Harris-esque in scope and importance. I heard somewhere he was looking for Abeyance on Azzholery but just couldn't pull it off because the elections snuck up on him. At the airport, somewhere in American, an annoucement shall soon be made: HIS ROYAL NIBS....THE FRANKISH REICH, HE WHO SHAN'T BE DISRUPTED...
