I'm with you.  This is exactly the kind of guy McDermott needs for a OC.

 

He was with Belli and after Mangini left the Patriots for the Jets he took Daboll with him.

When Mangini left for Cleveland he kept Daboll and promoted him to OC.

 

After Mangini was let go Daboll had a year in Miami under Sparano (his last year) so Daboll was let go

and KC new 1 year head coach Crennel picked him up.

Reid took over and let him go......................Belli picked him right back up.

He has been a victim of HC changes on very poor teams.

 

This guy is travelled but I bet he will do good in a stable environment.

Nice, thanks for the track record!!

Whenever Rico leaves a team, they are glad to see him go.  Whenever Daboll leaves a team, they seem sad to see him go.  Daboll is good at game time adjustments and utilizing his players' strengths while trying to cover their weaknesses - he doesn't try to jam square pegs through round holes.

Alabama had a top-five offense in nearly every category, but he does seem to be more of a ground and pound kind of guy. He will have great insight on the upcoming Qb class, though. 

You will never win playoff games with ground and pound,  this is passing league end of story.

Don't bother with trying to be reasonable. Some of the "I hate everything" posters on this board are already convinced that he sucks because he was not "their choice". He's hired and that's not changing. I, for one, hope he succeeds.I'd rather see the Bills win than get mad because they didn't hire the guy "I wanted". :rolleyes:

 

You're taking more stock in a couple quotes than actual facts.

 

This has nothing to do with "the guy I wanted." I didn't even really have a guy or look that deeply into the options.  I just wanted a modern NFL offense, and this guy has finished dead last in passing offense 50% of the time he's been an OC.  I get it, I get it, it's all about the QB, but we don't have one yet and I think it's perfectly reasonable to be nervous about this hire.

 

I'll stand behind McDermott because the teams appears to be headed in the right direction, but this is not the style of offense I enjoy watching, and so far it's not a very successful NFL offense.

Not a fan of this at all.  What has he done to earn this opportunity?  Failed in 4 previous NFL jobs badly. Regardless of talent, what’s he done to show he would succeed with talent?

 

When I think of Alabama, I think Defense and rushing attack. 

 

Besides Amari Cooper, I can’t think of a successful NFL QB/WR he’s coached. 

 

I’m trusting the process,  but I just don’t get the faith he will succeed

Neither of those are anything but coach and fluff speak

 

You have been nothing but a black cloud of gloom and doom on this board and you continue with flimsy, "everything sucks" takes even after the end of the drought. He might be a great hire, he might not be but one thing is certain...you don't know either way at this point. They've made their choice and it's not changing before this season. How about for once, you try seeing how things play out instead of thinking that you know everything and STFU. smh

He didn't coach Cooper at Alabama. He was in the NFL at the time with only one year coaching for Saban in 2017.

Ok, grew up in the Niagara Peninsula, went to St. Frannies, which has probably turned out more top pro athletes than any other school in WNY, Just won a National title with Alabama, not his first rodeo as an NFL OC.  If the Indy game didn't prove you need a strong OL and running game, then you don't understand WNY.

 

Go Bills
