John from Riverside Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 He wasn't there when Carr was drafted. Not that it would make a difference because OC's have absolutely no say over drafting personnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Not that it would make a difference because OC's have absolutely no say over drafting personnel That really depends on the organisation. Some organisations (and I believe the Bills have in the last few years been one) are very collabrative. I think when those organisations choose Quarterbacks they absolutely seek their OCs opinion. Doesn't mean they draft their OCs preference all the time but especially in Buffalo if you think, for example, Marrone and Hackett were not consulted before the EJ draft then I say you are probably wrong. Doesn't mean they said "Draft EJ" but I do believe their opinion on the QBs will have been sought. Otherwise why have them at the pro days and visits?

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm wondering if the Castillo hire means McDerm thinks he's getting McCoy. How can he hire a run game coordinator without a run game in place to coordinate? Castillo helping to install the ground game with McCoy calling plays and working with the QBs could be a good setup. Why aren't the Bills setting up other interviews but the Broncos did? Wishful thinking probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I like the McCoy bent, but Musgrave should not be overlooked. Man led an prodigious Offense and had it not been for an injury to Carr, who knows if Oakland would still be playing. Musgrave also has to his benefit, as mentioned above, worked with and developed a young QB and was the Vikes OC the year Peterson ran for 2,000 yards. Interesting and certainly a well qualified candidate. I was thinking the same thing. Oak goes 12-4 with a young QB who seems like he's steadily improving from one year to the next. #7 offense on points, strong run game, strong pass game - overall balance. So why did they let him go? why did musgrave get canned in oak? He didn't get canned exactly, they didn't renew his contract, which may be a clue. Maybe he pointed to all of the above and asked for more $$ than they were willing to give on his new contract? I would think he would be well worth talking to. Denver is talking to both McCoy and Musgrave, they can't keep both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Oakland was worried one of the new HCs would poach Todd Downing (now their OC) and decided to let Musgrave walk rather than lose their young OC in waiting.

BarleyNY Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 OK, but does it happen? I can't recall a OC/DC going to a new city based on $$ Maybe Garret waiting his turn in Dallas. I do think that most coordinators are looking for the job that gets them the eventual big contract as a HC. But if a guy isn't looking to be a HC - perhaps they have already failed as a HC or just don't aspire to that position for whatever reason - then more money probably is a big deal. Also it's a way for less desirable destinations can compete with better ones. And, yes, it is happening now in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
