gr8billsfan Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Good start to the search. I want to see another 12 names mentioned though that are qualified for the job. Not 5 coaches and then picking one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The panthers defense was worse than Buffalo's this year. Is that due to him or the players? 2016 DVOA - Defense Panthers - #10 Bills - #26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 i might thin he'd bring ken dorsey as his OC. dorsey has been with car for years and is qb coach at the moment. but only 4 years of being a qb coach...working with cam newton. he's young...35 so i'd be very curious to see what type of offense he brings.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 JIM SZOKE: "HE HAS THE TRAITS YOU LOOK FOR" (7:09) Take a look a his previous years as a DC. Kinda got nerfed a bit by the GM too. Norman is not the best corner in football as he claims - but he was the best corner on carolina. And he left mid off-season for nothing.

Wayne Arnold Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) There aren't many interviews or press conferences out there with McDermott. This one is from six years ago when he was the Eagles DC. He would be fired by Andy Reid just a couple weeks later. Seems like a smart guy and obviously a talented and successful defensive coordinator. I'm luke warm on him as a HC though. But who knows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp88Fe5zaV0 Edited January 4, 2017 by Wayne Arnold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Call me crazy but I would like someone specifically qualified to oversee QB development. We don't need any more defensive guys running the show. I second that. I think we need a coach who can come in and develop a young QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Unless he's bringing Rivers or Wentz with him, I'm on the skeptical side. In his 3 years as OC, he's always had high-quality passers to work with. His run game in San Diego was bottom-scraping. I won't call you crazy, but I don't think it's really the HC job to oversee QB development. We need an OC that designs a good passing game and is good with QB development, and a QB coach who is in sync with the OC. That all sounds like common sense. But Buffalo, right now, is built to run the ball. We have more talent for running than passing. We need an OC who understands the running game. A good passing game coordinator who's not as good at coordinating a running attack might struggle to score points with the players we currently have.

boyst Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Have lived in Clt since 98. Panthers are my second team . When they lost the SB last year I was Meh so they aren't really my team. Last year they had an infuriating tendency to let teams back in on D. That was playing behind the league leading O. I'm not a fan of this pick. I don't hate him but he is boring and his defenses aren't all that. Nothing I've seen makes me think he would be anything better than average. i would rather get shula as OC to work with Taylor. if he can work with cam he can work with taylor. taylor is miles smarter - and we have a run game. Considering the Bills have neither a Keuchly or a Norman (and Gilmore likely gone) I'm not encouraged to hear the reason his D was bad was because he lost Keuchly and Norman. well, they'll be getting Gilmore next year... and Keuchly will be back... so there is that.

KOKBILLS Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I like McDermott...I've been in the Carolina's for the better part of the past 25 years...The Bills could do a lot worse... I like him better than Lynn at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I really hope that the next Bills HC hires quality OC & DC to handle the play calling on both sides of the ball, and focuses on game day management and being a great "leader of men"(motivator). If you aren't good at the latter, chances are you will fail as a HC. The 1,000,000 question...how do you know if the coach you hired is going to have these attributes when he has never been a HC before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
