simool Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 How does Chan Gailey's name not come up in this discussion? lol. Just kidding folks. Aaron Kromer might be a good fit. May be too much of a knucklehead for McD though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked Chan, just wasn't a head coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayjent Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I think it's a less than 50% chance they fire Dennison. But I thought it was a bad hire and it proved itself out. You can point to Tyrod for the Offensive struggles and you wouldn't be incorrect in doing so, but you also have to put a lot of culpability on the OC that was too stubborn to mold a system around his talent. A guy that is looking for the right piece to his system is doomed to failure in the NFL, because injuries are just part of the game and the ideal component is always a play away from being unavailable. The coaches who adjust and evolve with the strengths of their personnel are the best coaches. I'm not saying Dennison didn't adapt, but it was really just half-measures and some elements of his offense that are just not suited to the personnel remained staples in the playcalling - such as the zone read runs wide - those were consistently met with TFLs. The playcalling lacked aggressiveness and seemed designed to get 10 yards in 3 plays, rather than attacking defenses. Mistakes were almost insurmountable if the team got behind the chains, and the play calling seemed satisfied with no turnover punts if 2nd and long presented itself. The NFL rewards passing more than running, and 2nd and long can easily be wiped out by defensive holding, illegal contact, and pass interference - some teams even design plays around trying to get those calls. Running on 2nd and long in an obvious run formation just doesn't cut it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I think you can have your cake and eat it too. I think McDermott could keep Dennison (that way he can stay loyal) around as a senior offensive assistant and hire Ken Dorsey. Hire a young guy in the role for the first time and have a guy around with a ton of experience like Dennison around. Or look at McCoy or just wait for Rob Chudzinski to shake lose from Indy.

Has a solid resume. I Iike the idea of Dorsey. Young and former QB too. I can see McDormett pushing for him due to the Carolina connection, that's if they permit him to interview with the Bills.

keepthefaith Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 If teams were smart and with practice squads at 10 players now, they'd hire a QB development coach and put 2-3 QBs on the practice squad. The league needs more QBs and more QBs to be working on their own development rather than being a scout team QB most weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBonhamRocks Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Don't mind the Dorsey idea. Would also not mind Greg Olson (Goff's QB coach, although likely to be Gruden's OC) or John DiFilippo (Wentz's QB coach, also rumored for HC and OC gigs).

MAJBobby Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I have a new favorite. John Defilipinno the QB coach in Philly. He developed Carr and Wentz two young QBs and also was OC with Pettines Browns and had some good production with limited talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of coaching that puts a rigid system in place that only certain players can do well in. Systems aren't necessarily bad, but one that requires certain talent at high levels is just too inflexible for the realities of NFL rosters over the course of a season.

The common denominator over the past three years of a dismal passing game is Tyrod Taylor. Dennison is an Offensive Coordinator. He's not Jesus.
