.....isn't the "my guys versus their guys" the norm leading to instability be it players, coaches or even Admin/FO?.....I believe (for whatever reason) Crossman is the lone holdover....but if some of these guys who get dumped hook on with another club in short order, they must see value in the guy's skills IMO.....

Brian Daboll's coaching resume':

 

Twelve jobs in 20 years.....hmmm ? 

Agreed.  That’s more than a bit scary.  I wonder how many of those positions he was fired from

The life of a coach....

 

Must be rough on young families with kids.

I don't know about Daboll's relationship with Colt McCoy but I agree with Jimmy Johnson:

 

"I don't believe in football intelligence and being dumb off the field," he said. "If he's dumb off the field, he's going to make dumb problems off the field and that's going to be just as big a problem as being dumb on the field."

 

On his "Football Life" program he said:  "Hit me in the head with a hammer the next time I want to draft a dumb guy."

 

Perhaps McCoy was a little hard-headed and that's one of the reasons Daboll dealt with him the way he did.  I've probably interviewed 1000 candidates for jobs in my professional life.  I've been able to discount probably 90% of candidates within the first 5 minutes of the interview.   If you can't reason with someone, they're going to be virtually impossible to deal with on a daily basis.

I wonder how many he was a lame duck because his head coach was fired.

 

I'm not going to label Daboll as having a temper issue based on one store about him yelling at one player.

Some of those jobs are promotions so those should not be concerns.

In cases where head coach was let go unless you have a good reputation you will be let go unless there are limits on staff funding (and there should be).

Can I patent "just throw Daboll!" when we all get sick of his old school, run-first scheme? I'm guessing this happens by week 3.

 

Only if you tell it to his face. I dare you.

Most interesting of all: he joined Mangini before the 2007 season, and shortly afterward (September 9, 2007 to be precise) Spygate happened.  He also followed Mangini to Cleveland and served under him both years he was there. Yet the Pats took him back. Hmm. The dude's been involved in a lot of soap opera drama over the years. (He was also in NE for deflategate.)

 

Have you tracked his whereabouts during the JFK assasination?

Coaches yell all the time.   That's sports.  Listen to what they're saying not how they're saying it.

Highly sought after?

The good news is that the Pats seem to be impressed with him such that they have hired him multiple times.

 

The bad news is that it appears that he has not impressed as an OC in the NFL.  As I recall, down here in Miami, Daboll was not well received.  

 

Let's hope that Daboll going home to Buffalo is the opportunity that will present sustained success for him.

But he does give them orange slices at halftime, so he’s not a complete monster. 

Participation ribbons after games I heard as well...everyone's a winner...

Having  a hard time caring what a second rate talent like Colt McCoy thinks about the coaching he received.  He obviously did not listen or was incapable of translating the coaching into performance, no matter the coach.

I tried finding the original article by Michael Silver, but it doesn’t seem to exist anymore. Anyway, I haven’t heard similar stories from other QBs, so hopefully Daboll’s mistreatment of Colt McCoy was a singular incident. Josh Allen mentioned his coordinator was very energetic and always in his ear, but he welcomed that style of coaching. Perhaps this is a non-story in 2018, or maybe it’s something to keep an eye on...

 

“There were times I had to pull my helmet off to call a play in the huddle,” McCoy recalled in an interview earlier this month. “Guys could hear him yelling, and they’d say, ‘Just take it off.’ People said to me, ‘Man, I ain’t never seen anything like that. Just hang in there.’”

 

Brian Daboll was an a-hole in Cleveland

 

Daboll’s rough treatment of Colt McCoy

 

And then there was this, from an interview with a KC reporter...

 

Q: In the last week, we've talked to a lot of people in Cleveland and Miami in the media that worked with you, and really high reviews from a lot of the local people. However, when you Google Brian Daboll, one of the first things that comes up is a Mike Silver article about harsh treatment of Colt McCoy. Can you maybe talk about your relationship with Colt and if the article was fair and if so, why there was that dynamic?

DABOLL: "The relationship with most of the players that I've coached, I have a very, very good relationship. Colt and I have a good relationship. It's not a bad relationship. I think there are certain times when you're a coach and sometimes emotion can get to you that maybe you step back and say, 'Boy, I would rather have handled it that way rather than this way,' but I think the job as a coach is to tell the players what to do, show them how to do it and really not accept any excuses. It's an emotional game, and just like certain things in my life, not just football, some things I wish I would have done differently here and there, but I have a lot of respect for Colt as well as the other guys that I've coached. I'm a high energy, up-tempo guy. I expect perfection. I know that's not possible all the time, but I think we need to all hold ourselves to a high standard of really setting the tone and expecting the highest detail and the highest execution from all of ourselves."

 

Q&A with Brian Daboll

 

So it would be an interesting, tough, and topical question by the Buffalo News and other reporters to question McDermott in his next press conference about whether he approves of this approach and intends to endorse Daboll to use it with the Bills current QB room, and whether Daboll coached that way in Alabama.
