Imagine what it's like at his house after dark. It's really amazing that everyone in his family hasn't gone completely bonkers. Prolonged exposure to a strobe light causes brain damage.

So while his ability is apparent to some of the top football coaches that have ever coached, because it is not clear to YOU then that is all that matters - the guy in a house somewhere with NFL.com on his browser and no actual knowledge of his ability as a coach. Jesus. When did we stop being allowed to give our opinion? Almost everyone on here has the same couch level knowledge and yet here we are, talking about it. Clearly, any pessimistic thoughts about this hire aren’t welcome here. I’ll kindly move on from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Ready to give him a chance. Another up and coming name in the NFL coaching circles. I thought he might stay at Alabama for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) This is a VERY intriguing hire. I have no idea if it'll work out, but consider: it's probably McDermott's most important hire (because you only get a certain amount of chances to hire coordinators before the axe falls on your neck - especially if you're an unproven HC), and he chose a guy who coached in two PROGRAMS. Like it or not (and I like it), these guys are trying to build a PROGRAM. Why not poach a guy who has worked within the two biggest powerhouse programs in the history of both the NFL and college? Why not hire a guy who should at least bring analytics to the offense, and hopefully will bring creativity and versatility? Who comes from two places where they adapt scheme to talent instead of vice versa? Hey, again, this may not work but you've got to give them credit for thinking outside the box a bit. McD has steel stones, I'll give him that. Edited January 14, 2018 by Coach Tuesday 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for asking and good response have no data on the hire so go after me for not liking it cool. I hope i am wrong and i even said this hire doesnt matter anyway if you get a legit QB. But we dont have one so yes the fact in his other NFL and College OC stints the QB play has sucked. The passing offenses have sucked. Sorry i dont put my Bills glasses on for every move they do. So HOW IS THIS BETTER than Dennison You wont be able to answer if he’s better than Dennison until he’s actually coached 16 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I know nothing about Daboll, and will reserve judgement until I see him in action, but I can tell you who will love the hire tomorrow at 10AM on the Pegula Radio Network...Jones & Murphy. Let's see if Daboll was given enough clout to fire McD's OL coach "buddy". Edited January 14, 2018 by LabattBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGBillsFan Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I'm going to wait and see what we do at the QB position and how he performs for at least a season before I say good or bad hire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
