He's been a DC.....why do you think this?
Because he's a defensive head coach who looks like a meathead and has a dud personality like Jauron/Marrone.
Plus I'm a judgmental prick.
-
It was Jesus, and we sure as heck don't have him on our side.
I blame the tailgate butt chugger for this.
-
show mccoy the seattle game and see if he can make taylor do that every game or at least 5-6 times a year.
Show Whaley and the Pegulas each game from the 2016 season then ask them why they want to blow up the offense.

Just who ever is the Bills coach. Please for the love if god bring the Bills into Modern football and not 1980s and 1990 concepts and push it as innovative to me.
DJ did it with the Tampa 2 (even after teams started breaking it with these TEs)
Rex did it with the antiquated 4-6
Marrone did it with the Ground and Pound (yes was here)
Heck really the only one that was a bit innovative was Chan.
McDermott screams "punt on 4th and 1 in opponent territory" to me.
-
So McDermott's getting a second interview today.
These are they guys that also got interviews: Anthony Lynn, Cardinals OC Harold Goodwin and Kris Richard Seattle's DC.
Sounds like McDermott at HC, Butler (Texans) at DC, and McCoy (Chargers) at OC is nearly a done deal.
I have not seen one report saying that McCoy is nearly a "done deal."
All I've read is that McDermott wants to bring him aboard.
Newsflash: every team with a staff opening wants McCoy as their OC.
-
No one has confirmed McCoy to OC. Please change the title before you jinx it.
-
if Lynn doesn't want to stay as OC then how do you propose they keep that offense?
Lynn doesn't have a choice unless he lands a HC position. Same situation as Schwartz two years ago.
-
23rd in yards and 25th in points is not "functioning" or any kind of success.
That's with the #1 rushing attack, btw.
Have you seen Tebow throw a football?
-
why? Not a flashy rex hire so its wrong. Who cares about the press conference, i'd be happier knowing its not some gimmicky hire to sell tickets
Because winning the press conference is what really matters.
I'm just saying it will be a horrible press conference. My belief that it will be a failed hire is separate from that observation.
Like I said in another thread - I can get behind Dick Jauron Jr. as long as (a) Tyrod is retained, AND (b) Lynn OR McCoy is offensive coordinator.
Anything less will be doomed for failure.
-
I couldn't read the entire thread this morning, but I am hearing a lot of "it's almost a done deal...maybe Mike McCoy." Anything about Lynn staying on as OC? I would really prefer if we kept him over McCoy. McCoy is a passing specialist, and maybe he gets a good year out of Tyrod, but Shady and our run blocking looks the best.
I can get behind Dick Jauron Jr. as long as Tyrod is retained AND/OR Lynn/McCoy is offensive coordinator.
Anything else is doomed to fail and I'll find something better to do on Sundays for however long the next GM and coaching search will be.
-
What?
The drop off in offense will be apparent. Don't count on the team duplicating that type of running game, top 7 in points scored and virtually no turnovers again.
Ill wait and see what the plan is but I can't see it being better then what we currently have on offense.
It's hilarious the number of Bills fans taking a Top 10 offense in back-to-back seasons for granted after 16 years of attrocious offense. It's absolutely mind-boggling.
-
This is an intelligent point and a question that deserves an answer. Unless he's bringing a QB, I hope he can also make the run game go.
He was offensive coordinator for Tim Tebow's Broncos.
-
If McDermott is hired, it will be the most awkward, boring HC opening press conference in history with McDermott, Pegula, and Whaley.
-
Haley is an interesting candidate. Like McDaniels, he was kind of a mess as HC although he had some success - inherited a bad team, turned it around to winning and playoffs his second season. His best year featured Charlie Weis as OC and Meh Cassel in a stout run-first O, #1 run game, #30 pass game, and a middle-of-the-pack D. Hmmm, sound familiar? His next year fell off, with Cassel and his backup both throwing more picks and the run game not as good. He was reportedly a bit of a "prima donna", doing stuff like firing Gailey as OC just before the start of his first season there.
Like McDaniels, if Haley has grown and reflected on "what went wrong" in KC as McDaniels would hopefully have reflected on Denver and St Louis, Haley could be a good HC in his 2nd shot. The Steelers had some fall-off his first two seasons but they're cooking along right now.
If Haley hasn't done that reflection and it's all on everyone else, he could be a disaster. He's spent time around 2 winning organizations (Cardinals in 2007 and 2008) as well as some success with a mediocre QB in his HC gig. I think Whaley's mental model for how a franchise should work is based in Pittsburgh, so since Haley has spent 5 years there they might be a good match to work smoothly together, provided Haley doesn't go all inflated-ego when he gets a 2nd HC shot.
Unlike McDaniels working with Belichick where the offense was arguably great before he took over, great after he left, and great when he came back, I don't think there's any question that Haley is the real brains behind the Pittsburgh offense. Big Ben is a very good QB, but he's not Brady and the Steelers arguably have a stronger offense now than under Arians. Haley should have the experience and contacts in the league to bring in a good DC.
I would actually be very positive about bringing in Haley.
I'm sorry but I don't believe it takes great brains to generate a productive offense with Big Ben, Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell.
Haley may have the easiest job in America.
He was a trainwreck as a HC in KC. I wouldn't touch him with a 50 foot pole.
-
I don't know anything about McDermott. Is he a disciplinarian, tough guy?
Will the offense regress if they hire a defensive guy? I still want my 25 pts per game on O
He's a bore who will punt his way to being fired within two years.
-
ugh...he's pretty boring but....as long as we win and he's smart lol
Dick Jauron Jr.
-
FWIW Leroi is reporting they are negotiating with McDermott in Charlotte right now. McCoy as OC.
Who is Leroi and why should anyone trust what he says?
-
those aren't real by the way.......the eyelash's, I'm talking about......
Neither are her breasts.
-
Goodwin is literally the worst case scenario for me
Why?
He's not my first choice because I'm hoping we can retain Lynn as OC and that may not happen if we bring in an offensive mind. But I like Goodwin's interviews and I like that he's basically been molded by Bruce Arians, one of my favorites.
-
As reported yesterday, told interview with Kris Richard went well, but no indication where things stand with Richard or Goodwin. @wgrz
Which means it's between Richard and Goodwin.
-
FIRE SEAN MCDERMOTT
Sorry, I'm just getting prepared for the inevitable.
-
My feeling has been to not pick up the TT option, have $45 million is cap space - fill our holes in FA (keep Gilmore) and draft Hooker/Williams if they are available and move on up next year for the QB. Could give him ton of tools to work with...
I hope you enjoy losing 13 games.
-
Hmmmmm (from Buffalo Rumblings guy):
If Lynn lands a HC job elsewhere and Lal is ready for primetime then sure. Keep the current system and Tyrod, and let's go.
-
Sammy loves Lal. We better keep him here.
We should keep the entire offensive staff (unless maybe they hire Goodwin).
Yeah, I have no idea what he thinks. But the chances the Bills hire another coach that likes to punt look pretty high based on the list.
Goodwin wouldn't be a punt maniac. Richard isn't a coachspeak robot.
McDermott New HC per JLaCan - new jw tweets re: Whaley & TT

21st in yards per attempt. Not great, but ahead of Newton, Eli, Flacco, Bortles, Wentz.
18th in passer rating (ahead of Rivers).
