Beast Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Just a gut feeling but I think that’s a good hire. How many HC’s could we see next season with direct ties to Belichick? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Has a Belichick coach ever had HC success? Bill O'Brien is the only one that comes to mind and he's been on the hot seat for years. Deshaun Watson might have saved his job. Vrabel is the first coach from the B.O.B coaching tree so hopefully he has better luck Edited January 21, 2018 by kdiggz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittakestime Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Terrible hire. Barely any coaching experience. Thought they wanted to get a coach for Mariota. Just another inside job with ex Pats employees 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 It really depends on who he gets as his OC. Daboll would have made sense for him, but we beat them to it. Its all about Mariota for that team. Their defense was already good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good mobility, but I wasn’t sold on him as a passer. He has been better than I thought he’d be, but he needs to be a better passer to stick around as a good starting QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a down year, for sure, but hard to pin that all on the HC. It is possible that after 2 very good seasons that the league figured him out or quite possible that he was injured without a lot of publicity. They also drafted Corey Davis high to help their receiver group, but he was hurt a lot of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban treated Fickell like **** initially BUT he got the best out of him because of it. Vrabel never wanted that from Urban. They did not get along at all. And Vrabel also threw a playbook at the OC in a meeting when Fickell was the interim HC (he deserved it).

Advancing is advancing. If buffalo won that crap fest in Jax this board would have been ecstatic,and talking about building for the future.

McDoomed bought more time from me when he gave Peterman an in-season look... -That took b_lls...Marrone, who I wasn't crazy about, left the team with a winning record, There should have been a stronger effort to retain him perhaps without Hackett. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 so who's the QB coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) He has very little coaching experience. He's only been coaching for 7 years, and only 4 years in the NFL - Ohio State (2011) Linebackers coach Ohio State (2012–2013) Defensive line coach Houston Texans (2014–2016) Linebackers coach Houston Texans (2017) Defensive coordinator Tennessee Titans (2018–present) Head coach He was (obviously) a pretty good NFL player though. But it still seems like a little too soon to already be named a head coach. and I thought Houston's defense regressed this year in his 1st and only season as DC (but to be fair they had some significant injuries). Houston was the #1 ranked defense last year (YPG) and slipped all the way to #20 this year... They were also the #11 defense in points allowed per game in 2016, and this year they ranked dead last (#32) in the NFL in ppg. Like i said, I know injuries played a part, but IMO it's still not a very good look for Vrabel. Who knows though. Maybe he will end up being a very good head coach.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Terrible hire. Seemed out of place on the Hard Knocks like if he didn’t have a personal relationship with O’Brien he wouldn’t of had the DC job in Houston. This is such a bad move. Mike Singletary In SF or Orgeron at Ole Miss type bad move. Jeesh. Sorry Titan fans, you are screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Losing Ryan Day would absolutely suck for Ohio State, but he had College HC opportunities he turned down. Going to leave eventually, he’s really just the QB coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like his odds a lot more if he’s not bogged down in being a coordinator himself They are probably going to bring in Day as OC and implement a lot of Chip Kelly/Oregon stuff for Mariotta. That should be great for Mariotta. Having OC's who adapt to their QB's strengths and then giving them playmakers and blocking help is what got the Rams and Eagles so far this year. The Bills were a bit ahead of the curve doing that with Tyrod in 2015-2016..............but they instead decided to square peg-round hole the most productive QB/offensive situation they'd had since their second SB year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
