Brian Daboll hired as new OC


Estro

Recommended Posts

I like the move.

 

He has a history of winning.  Five Super Bowls, and a national championship his first year.

 

He has coached under the greatest HC in pro and college (Belichick and Saban) so he understands detail, preparation, winning, and never letting the foot off the pedal.

 

HIs past Pro OC experience does give pause, especially since the passing game on the teams he OC were horrible.  But he also had horrible teams (CLE, KC) who had horrible QBs that are all either backups or out of the league.  He was still able to rank 5th in rushing for a 2-14 KC team with Matt Cassel at QB.  That's how you cut your teeth as a first time coordinator, getting your butt kicked on a crappy team with crappy talent)

 

I'm sure he has learned from that experience as well since it's been five years ago.  Since that time he's won a few more rings with NE and was tabbed by the greatest college coach to run his offense.

 

This guy was next in line for the Patriots OC job.  Bills snuck in and stole him before McDaniels could make his decision.  He was also Nick Saban's selection to replace Lane Kiffin.  My thoughts are if this guy is good enough to be considered OC by storied franchises such as Belichick/Patriots and Saban/Alabama) than I believe the Bills made the right move here.

 

I would rather do this then hire a retread like McCoy or Chud, both of whom really hadn't done much to write home about over the last five years.

 

I say go outside the box and strive for greatness.

 

That's what champions do.  

 

Go Bills!

Basic human thinking? And he’s had 4 years of OC experience. Last being 6 years ago. 

 

During that time he’s failed miserably with the following teams and QB’s...

Cleveland - Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson and Jake Delhomme

Miami - Matt Moore, Chad Henne, JP Losman

KC - Matt Cassel, Brady Quinn again.

 

My point is that you don’t know anything.

 

clear?

 

 

Crystal clear. You're a genius and I'm an idiot. Got it.

How could this guy not win a Super Bowl with the great QB's he's had ?

 

Brady Quinn

Colt McCoy

Chad Henne

Matt Cassell

 

Hall of famers one and all.

John DeFilippo, the hot name this year managed 30th ranked offense in points in Cleveland as OC.

NFL GamePass goes back to 2012, the last time Daboll was an NFL OC. I guess I’ll be using my spare time watching Chiefs games to see how he likes run his offense and call plays. 

 

That season they averaged 13.18 points/game. I wouldn't wish re-watching that offense on my worst enemy. Godspeed.

I like to see what other players and fans say about their departed coaches.  Here is a cool response by NE TE Bennett

Talk about counting your OCs before they hatch

We have Shady and.......not really much else on offense. How optimistic can we realistically about this if he’s failed with little talent but is coming to a team with little talent?

 

They also have Clay and Benjamin as established targets and a return to a power run scheme that the OL excels at will help the run game.

Wow.  Never thought I would ever see a guy that played for and graduated from the University of Rochester ascend to these heights.

 

Some U of R games have < 100 people watching.

 

We are UR!

 

They went 8-0 my freshmen year and I helped organize the playoff bus to the playoff game. We had tons of people at the games.

I like that this isn’t another re-tread coordinator who’s tried and failed in the NFL. Might be great to get a new perspective 

There were some rumors that Daboll might replace Josh McDaniels next season. Good hire.

Saban, having both worked under Belichick and hired Daboll, agreed.

 

“We want to be well-organized in our presentations and how we teach the players,” he said. “I think conceptually that helps players understand and learn more efficiently and effectively. And, of all the people that I’ve ever been with, Bill Belichick probably does this as well as anybody. For Brian to have been in that system and that organization for a long time, I think, is reflected in his organization and in his teaching progressions that he has for the players.

How the heck can anybody hate this hire?

 

The guy coached under the 2 greatest coaches of all time in BB and Saban.

 

Young and innovative.

 

Incredible some of you that are mad.

 
 

That's because you got some people on this board that can't be pleased. The Bills could hand out free gold bricks and they still would find some way to complain about them

It all comes down to QB. If we keep Tyrod, sign another vet or start a rookie. I just want to get with the times and have an OC design an offense around what his guys do well and not jam a system down their throats

Playing to their strengths. Very Simple. Tyrod sucks at intermediate passing, has (had) a decent deep ball and is best scrambling. We have arguably one of the BEST rushing attacks in the NFL. Rather than force Tyrod to be a pocket passer, do like Chan did and use more roll outs and bubble screens. 

 

The reason I like this hire is I feel like from what he has done historically is more up my alley than Rico. He has more of an adaptive skill set.  

If he keeps Taylor as his QB his career here will be short lived.

So Mr Fixit thinks you should drink the kool aid so you're not allowed to have an opinion.  0nly experts are allowed to have opinions.  Looked it up we can celebrate turns out he only coached the 46th worst offense in the history of the NFL at 13.2 ppg so my guess is we'll have to take the starters out by the 3rd qtr vs the Pats next year.

Read further. Mr Fixit should be the only one writing words.

 

Stop wasting your time wasting my time.

I like this post, and I agree 100%. You knew it was going to go to someone that McD had a prior connection with (as it should), but I'm glad to see it go to someone younger.

 

He has enough experience to give you confidence, but not enough previous OC jobs in the NFL where you feel like you're getting a guy who's just laterally failing around the league. It also seems like his previous OC gigs were in no-win situations, and never had the time to develop with the roster. I'd be more concerned if he'd stayed with the Browns, Dolphins, or Chiefs for 3 years and never got it going.

 

I'm optimistic, and assuming he's not complete garbage at his job, I'd like to see him get more than one season, for simple continuity alone if nothing else.

Havent got ONE other than he worked with Saban and BB. So what are his concepts. Whats his play design like, how does he look to develop a QB. 

 

How IS he better 

Why is it you always no more than everyone else?! At times you know more than NFL coaching staffs and FOs... like here. 

 

Do you know what a contrarian is?

If the Bills scored 13.2 last week they’d have won, just sayin.

It has been a couple of years since I went to a Homecoming game.

Blows my mind a U of R player/grad is the Bills OC.

Good stuff. 

I double hope he does well.

Hey, RIT doesn't even have a football team anymore (wasn't much when they had one either) but we still churned out tom coughlin.

Do you know what a debate is?

 

an Opposing View is?

 

and how lazy it is to say NFL coaches and FO know everything?

I've lived in Rochester for 37 years and I didn't even know that.

Thanks!
