I am not suggesting this, but Buffalo News' list of potential OC candidates included: Ben McAdoo I'd rather have Dennison.

What time and where for the parade? Seriously though, despite my BBFS, it is tough not to trust the process.

Tell me downtown in which city and I'll be impressed.

My insider told me that the Bills are planning on going the Tyrod Taylor route with Dennison: fire him, wait for no other team to hire him, and then hire him back at a lower price.

Not pounding the table for Chudzinski, but per his Wiki page: In 2007, Chudzinski was named the offensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns. That year the Cleveland Browns ranked eighth overall on offense, sent 4 offensive players to the Pro Bowl, and finished second in the AFC North with a record of 10–6, their most wins since 1994. In 2011, Chudzinski was named the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator. He took one of the league's worst offenses in 2010 and transformed it into one of the top 10 offenses in 2011 with rookie quarterback Cam Newton. The Panthers finished seventh overall in the league on offense, fifth in points scored, and set a new franchise record for total yards in a season. Granted, those are not exactly recent, but he has success turning offenses around with Derek Anderson and rookie Cam Newton. We'll likely have a Derek Anderson type bridge QB (hopefully better) and a rookie.

Link?

Kind of feel like they'll work to retain Matthews after trading for him. If Bevell is the OC, then Richardson might follow him. Chudzinski would be familiar with Moncrief, who would be a speed guy (4.3 forty time).

I see. I would think if he knows he's wanted around the league, then he'll wait it out and get the money.

I like DeFilippo as a candidate because of his success with Wentz, but outside of college he only was an OC in 2015 for the Browns.

"Dick" Rid-of-him?

I think the Eagles should want to be careful getting a reputation of blocking promotions for their coaches. Also, if we get Chud, then he might bring Dorsey, who he coached at U of Miami, in as his QB coach.

I think I might flip DeFilippo and Daboll, now that I've thought two more minutes about it.

Okay, so Wade Phillips is part of Sean McVay's coaching tree. Got it.

Chudzinski coached Dorsey in Miami, so he could very well bring him in as QB coach if hired. I'd like that combination. Edit: Also had top 10 offenses in his first years with Browns and Panthers (Newton's rookie year).

Not sure you can put Schwartz, who had already been a DC and HC before him, on Marrone's "coaching tree".

My early list: Chudzinski Bevell Daboll DeFilippo McCoy Canada

It is a problem in that we can't hire him right now and until he gets fired. I know Ittakestime, but waiting is a risk.

For all those suggesting Chud, he's still employed by the Colts. Has to actually be let go first.

Agreed that black/gold fade helmet is trash.

Pat Mahomes was the first Jeremiah Briscoe?

My hope is we retain Gaines and Johnson and then take another CB in round 4 or 5.

Yeah, I mean I get targeting a CB if we lose Gaines, but probably not in the 1st.

Would anyone else, like me, want to see the Bills in their current blue-on-blue, but with the red 90's helmet? I think that would look great.

Gotta say, I've been a fan of the Seahawks' jerseys because of what they (I just found out) call "action green". I get how others see it as an annoying color, but I just like it, and, yes their highlighter-esque color rush jerseys. The Chargers' powder blue is classic, too. Was talking the other day about how I get annoyed by the new Rams jerseys. Specifically, I do not like that their logo features a ram with gold horns, but then their helmets have white horns. I may be picking a nit, but it irks me.

From Buffalo News today (personally would be really happy with CBS or NBC's picks): CBS Sports No. 21: Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma. Given that the Bills have back-to-back picks at 21 and 22, it's entirely possible they shoot up in the draft to grab a Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen. But if they stand pat, Mayfield is likely the best they can hope for to address the position if they move on from Tyrod Taylor during the offseason. Mayfield has an excellent arm and should be a good fit in Rick Dennison's offense in Buffalo, though he's far from a finished product and will likely go through some growing pains in Year 1. No. 22: Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan. The Bills traded Marcell Dareus during the season and Kyle Williams is a free agent. That makes defensive tackle one of their major needs heading into the offseason. If the Bills aren't put off by Hurst's size, which comes in a little small for his position, I expect him to be the pick here. He should be a scheme fit, and his quickness has the chance to overwhelm interior offensive linemen at the next level. Sporting News No. 21: Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame Buffalo is a strong contender to move up in the draft for a quarterback (packaging its two first-round picks this year and one more next year) with Josh Rosen in reach if the Giants want to move down. If the Bills stay put, look for them to build their offense further. McGlinchey is a plug-and-play starter at tackle or guard. No. 22: Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU After addressing their offensive line, the Bills could stand to add another young receiver. Kelvin Benjamin is a great No. 2 for the future, and Zay Jones is best in the slot over the long term. Sutton would help the Bills’ coaching staff create an offensive style similar to what the Panthers had when coach Sean McDermott was in Carolina. NBC Sports No. 21: Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma With the extra first-round pick, perhaps the Bills look at one of the Sooner state quarterback prospects. Mayfield's Heisman Trophy winning-season rocketed the mobile threat draft boards, but not all are in love with quarterbacks whose game may be best suited for gimmicky college offenses. No. 22: Vita Vea, DT, Washington Trading away Marcel Dareus created a need at defensive tackle for the Bills, who could also target a cornerback or linebacker in the early rounds. WalterFootball.com No. 21: Donte Jackson, CB, LSU The Bills traded Ronald Darby to the Eagles this offseason after losing Stephon Gilmore to the Patriots. They'll need to obtain another cornerback if E.J. Gaines, an impending free agent, heads for the open market. No. 22: Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU The Bills need downfield receiving threats, despite trading for Kelvin Benjamin during the 2017 season. A talented receiver to go with Benjamin and Zay Jones could be a huge boon for whomever Buffalo obtains to be its next quarterback. Draft Tek No. 21: Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville No. 22: Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan
