I'd send them Feliciano for a street vendor hot dog and free medium Pepsi.

I like watching Burrow throw to Chase. However I think with a bit of time Burrow is going to have that "Brady Smug" demeanor that a lot of people will hate.

collecting a paycheck.

We would have to draft a waterbug....

One of my biggest worries of this offseason is that the line did "just enough" to convince Beane that we should run it back with that line and continuity will really help next year.

Well, with the way Johnson has coached the Bills line....they sometimes have issues blocking anything. Also leads me to believe if we cut Feliciano he would end up with the Giants as he's one of Bobby Johnson's pet players.

Again...looking for external names. Dorsey is the obvious choice amoung Bills fans. Always because of "consistancy"....but no one really can explain what Dorsey knows, thinks or how he's the best person for the job. What HE brings other than he's already here.

It's odd that from the part you quoted you assumed it was a race thing. It wasn't. Had a lot more to do with those yelling "Rooney Rule" not really being educated or choosing to take the TIME to learn about a candidate before automatically chalking it up to race. However, mostly the uneducated will water things down to the simplest rational that they are comfortable with.

I agree. Just like there's no guarentee that a position coach from within will step into a new position with Morse responsibility and do well. It's a 100% crapshoot either way. Issue is that so many here are 100% closed off to an external hire that if it's not Dorsey (or Hall) named people will freak out. I think looking outside and comparing what you already have on staff is the most effective way to make surs the guys you name is the right guy...not just the hot name of the one you already knew.

True. But most here assert that idea only exists with external hires.

Way too many people in this thread that are way too comfortable exposing who they are.

Curious. Did the Bengals donit that way too? Because they are paying in the same Super Bowl.

Again, aa said in OP...looking for external names mainly. However let me say this...ever see Matt Barkley on the sideline? Team loved having him. However there was a better external choice out there potentially so the Bills took it. Same could happen with OC.

I actually did not see a thread on external hire choices. I saw 2 threads about people saying the 2 guys announced so far are wrong...so I was curious who everyone thought was right. If it's something to be merged with one of them, I'm certain the mods will so their duty. They are pretty good at that sorta thing!

Being there doesn't mean they can do the job well. Which is why I asked this post focus more on externals than Dorsey and Hall. Because everyone's biggest fear is change...even if it has the possibility of being a better situation in the long run.

This is an excellent choice IMO. One of the guys I have had in mind as well. Very high regarded and well liked by many from what I've heard. It's obvious IF the Bills just want to promote from within. Yes, Josh endorsed him, and he is well thought of by some...but I don't think it's automatically "his job". Frankly, aside from already being here we know no more about him that we can find out about Tee Martin and Mike Kafka with the aide of a brief internet search.

Since there are a lot of people feeling certain ways over Tee Martin and Edgar Bennett being announced as the 1st 2 OC candidates I figured there were already strong thoughts on external guys we could discuss. What I'd like to know is who are Coaches you like and most important...WHY? While Dorsey is a popular name because he's on staff I would like to focus more on externals for the moment. I will add mine down thread as to not influence responses.

Did some digging on both he and Martin. I favor Martin at this point.

Means absolutely nothing...but...

Spent 3 years as OC in Green Bay. Under Mike McCarthy. Thought they did a solid job in Vegas this year with a serious lack of talent on the WR room.

We can't see the face. Can we be sure it's not Jason Bateman? Because I'd be all in for that.

I mean, there is really good information on why this may be a good thing in this very thread. Scroll back, I suppose? Also, context is a good thing. In Tee's 1st season coaching him Brown went over 1,000 yards and had 90+ catches with Jackson and Jackson Lite passing him the ball.

Like who?

Sometimes the end justifies the means. I would sign him...but he would not be allowed to wear #12. That's special.

Not only that bit at least Tee has experience in the OC chair and calling plays. It may have been at the NCAA level but it's experience Dorsey doesn't have on his resume yet. He coached Hollywood Brown to his 1st 1,000 yard seasons this year. Wonder what he could do with Gabe?
