26CornerBlitz Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) @RapSheet If #Chiefs lose, co-OC Brad Childress could be coaching his last game in KC. Sources say he’s a top target for #Bills OC, as is Greg Olson. Edited January 18, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Childress isn't as flashy as McCoy, but he's a solid hire. He has a LOT of experience in various positions and hasn't really had a big fail (outside of his last season as HC of the Vikes). I lived around Philly during his time there and saw the development of McNabb. I'd be confident that whatever QB we end up with will be getting solid developmental coaching.

Captain_Quint Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Olson has pretty much just kicked around the drain in the NFL. Rams, Jags, Raiders, Lions. Fired from all of them. Id be pretty uninspired if hes who we're high on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Olson would be terrible. We'd be another team he'd be fired from. Childress I'd like which probably means we're running a west coast scheme. Not sure Tyrod's strengths are a good fit for that offense though.

jeffismagic Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The hire will not be about Tyrod but about developing a QB we draft in 2017 or 2018.

If they need time to develop someone they draft in 2018 it's unlikely they are around long enough to see how that turns out. Need a short term answer too.....WHO? The gazillion dollar question!

YoloinOhio Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Childress is probably his preferred of those two given he's worked with him before and he has HC experience @christrapasso Starting QBs Brad Childress has worked with in NFL career: DPederson DMcNabb BJohnson TJackson GFerotte BFavre BWeeden ASmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Olson has pretty much just kicked around the drain in the NFL. Rams, Jags, Raiders, Lions. Fired from all of them. Id be pretty uninspired if hes who we're high on. "There's two kinds of coaches. Them that's fired and them that's gonna get fired." ~ Bum Phillips Here's how the NFL typically works. A team is under-performing. The GM and FO can either blame themselves for not getting enough good players for the roster, or they can blame the coaches. So, of course, the coaches get fired. Pete Carroll was once fired from his position as DB coach of the Bills. He was later fired from HC positions with both the Jets and Pats. That track record of getting fired didn't stop Seattle from hiring him. Marv Levy was fired from Cal, William & Mary, and Kansas City. Bill Belichick was fired from the Browns. Good coaches are fired all the time. I'm not saying Olsen is a good coach. But he's thought highly enough in the NFL that he keeps getting OC gigs.

JoeF Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 If it were Olson it would be a done deal already. McDermott really wants Childress I bet and Andy has already given his blessing. I would be okay with Olson as QB coach. I would be better with Greg Olsen at TE........ So.... Childress would be making a lateral move?

Good QBs play good early now is like saying the winning powerball numbers produce millions. The problem is finding that good qb and not another EJ or Trent or JP.

dwight in philly Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 for what it is worth, childress is very tight with the old "Coach" meaning Dickerson.. used to listen to him say he was like a son to him.. not sure of the connection, just remember him talking about him.

We need a QB guru to assist him. Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Derek Carr, and Dak Prescott have all been there for Buffalo. Just last year Bills didn't get Prescott because they spent 3 picks on a linebacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also is not really in charge of the offense. Reid is, and maintains play calling responsibilities. The Bills could offer him an Asst. HC/OC title and more money I bet. Depends on if he still has any aspirations, or is content with staying where he is. Also, I think it is smart that McD is looking bringing in experienced people, with HC experience on their resumes. Invaluable it seems to me for a first time HC to have that experience to lean on. Edited January 15, 2017 by MDFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why it is hard for the Bills is they don't spend enough resources on the position. We also need to get Terry Pegula to bring in a QB czar. Pay the best QB scout in the NFL 2 million a year to help us draft and develop someone. Bills have only drafted 2 QB's in the top 2 rounds in TWENTY YEARS. That is gross negligence and I would like it to end now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check i out. Quotes from Childress. I personally would love it if we got a receiver like Mike Williams and another in FA to put with Watkins, and attack more. I think Shady would find lots of gaps.

And just because a QB has had success somewhere,does not mean that they would have success somewhere else. I.E. stop assuming Dak would have been as successful here as he was in Dallas.

Kirby Jackson Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Dak would have looked great here. Sorry, Bills messed up. He's not just a product of the system. He has played behind the best pass blocking line in the league in a conservative system where he has been asked to manage games. He's done it really well. He is in the absolutely perfect situation as well. It's not one or the other, it's both. Edited January 15, 2017 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he is, I'm saying that he wouldn't have necessarily succeeded here in Buffalo. Or do you think Roman, and Lynn, could have schemed for Lynn as well as Garrett and Linehan. Or perhaps you think David Lee is a better coach then Wade Wilson. If it's not that maybe you like Charles Clay better than Jason Witten? Or do you think Sammy Watkins is better than Dez Bryant? Don't get me started on how much better the cowboys line is at passblocking either. Edited January 15, 2017 by mob16151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
