Estelle Getty Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Norv Turners credentials blow everyone else's left out of the water. Big loss not getting McCoy. Very important a Coach who doesn't deal with the other side of the ball hires a top guy in that area. To many times coaches fail (especially new ones) because they go with inexperienced coaching on the side of the ball they don't know. Not the time to be going with first time offensive coordinator. To me this hire will determine if he is going to be successful or not as a coach here. Very interested to see if he is smart enough to realize he needs a guy with major credentials as an offensive coordinator.

BillsGuru4 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I was very excited about the mcdermot hire because i was under the impression he came with mccoy. The more i read about him, the more i like him, but an experienced oc is very important in our situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Tom Clements? Chip KELLY???? Chip Kelly as an OC and only an OC might be good. McDermott can punch him in the face, from one Irishman to another, if he gets out of line. Chip isn't going to be taking any OC job he'll be hired and making $5M-$10M per as a head coach at a major college program by this time next year.

Harryhood280 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hey pegs, or Kim, if you're reading this, open up your fat wallet and pull a curveball out of the ether - chip, Mcdaniels, James Franklin, etc. money talks. Don't settle for mediocrity at OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Mud Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 What about McCoys former OC in SD, Ken Whisenhunt? Not sure if Lynn will keep him, or want his own offensive staff. A name I have not yet seen discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I know. Highly unlikely. But money talks. NE would block the move even if he wanted to. Besides that, he's under consideration for the 49ers' Head Coaching job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just talking s**t, friend. I know it's not happening. Chip or Franklin, however, while extremely unlikely, are out there. I just want to see a huge splash. Not a "well, we missed on our top choices, let's settle" type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Totally bummed that McCoy will not be OC. This was a big part of the reason that I liked the McDermott hiring (thought he was bringing McCoy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 You feel that way despite how well Lynn did as a 1st time OC/playcaller? Well Lynn had 24 years in the league and was Assistant Head Coach for 4-5 years. He was thought of as a future Head Coach before he came to the Bills. He has boatloads of experience. I don't like Norv and I'd prefer continuity to McCoy but otherwise agree with your points. That's where I am. He needs an experienced OC that can completely take over. I don't want Norv. Not sure who is possible. Musgrave maybe but he's uninspiring. Not getting McCoy is a big blow if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Gotta think Childress or Nagy with the Reid coaching tree thing we have going on. Maybe Andy Reid can do us a solid and give us the next great offensive mind. Please help out your pupil Andy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norton20 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I only hope it is someone that won't change the team's approach to running the ball. Going from Marrone and his ploddy big guards that couldn't move at all in space to what they've had these past 2 years has been refreshing. Averaging over 25 points a game is good. The D needed fixing more than the O. I'd hate to see them abandon it and destroy the strength of the team. (Sort of the flip of what Rex did to Schwartz's defense). Improve the wide receivers and in my opinion (and I understand why others differ), keep Tyrod (keep drafting till you find something better) and keep working with him and Jones. I am very fearful that whoever they hire will take them back more than a few steps and cost years of having to undo it again. The Bills chase their tails better than any team I've ever seen.
