The bolded guys are the one's I'd focus in on as not sure Jordan wants to be a coach. Jim Bob has some ties to Daboll from their KC days and he did some good things for Matt Stafford.

Anderson or Palmer seem logical.  

 

Might do Allen more harm than good to have someone totally new put a fresh set of ideas in his head or try to tweak his actions.

 

Josh has done well to get through his mentoring period with Peterman.

They left out ‘quarterback whisperer’ Mike Leach!

 

Just as well - Leach already makes more money than McDermott, and he’d want to be Head Coach anyway.

From SI: Why Is Everyone Hiring Mike Leach Disciples Instead of Actual Mike Leach?

Quote

Leach  is rarely top of mind in these situations. He’s not devastatingly handsome. He’s not young. He has very strong opinions about weddings and live mascots and other things that aren’t third-and-nine. He may work until 2 a.m., but he also may not come in until 10 or 11 a.m.

 

If this flavor of the month in football becomes the flavor of the year and remains en vogue, it’ll be interesting to see what happens when the coaching carousel spins again. Will the game keep seeking out some more polished, more boring version of Mike Leach, or will it seek out Actual Mike Leach?

Yeah, I posted that article on the College Football board.

 

The fact remains, and the author’s point is, instead of hiring from the Leach coaching tree, why not “go right to the wellspring?”

 

Why not hire the “Actual Mike Leach  (AML)”?

I coach with one of Lazor's old college buddies; was even in his wedding. He seems like a pretty smart guy that I woudn't mind having at 1 BD. 

I wouldn't be surprised if they go after Palmer though. 

[PromoTheRobot 3,836]

Here's your dark horse candidate. Allen wants to be able to throw the ball out of New Era Field? This guy will show him how.

Played QB at Cornell and was on Jim Hohfer's staff at UB which is not on in the body of his Wikipedia bio.  They do have it in the offset to the right.

Bring in Jimbo !!Number 12

[Buddo 192]

Good article, and thanks for posting it Yolo.

 

Pretty much all of the guys mentioned are either intriguing, or quite possibly genuinely worth looking at. Seems like there's a decent choice out there, going off of that piece.

But Shane Waldron has breathed in the air McVay exhaled.  I do like Cooter though.😁

Jim Bob Cooter is the most fun to say.    😋

[the skycap 659]

Isn't Alex Van Pelt available?

[freddyjj 612]

A new QB Coach Candidate?

 

Just heard this on OBL Murph and Tasker show:

 

Jake Peetz, Offensive Analyst Alabama 2018.  Was QB coach for Raiders and was Josh McDaniel's candidate for Colts OC role last year.

Should the team consider Derek Anderson as a player/coach?

 

Assuming this is a real option, would this be an official title, or just doing what he was originally signed to do? When's the last time one of the major sports had an official player/coach?

I don’t think so. As far as i know he was retained by the Bengals unlike some others. Bills could still request interview, esp given the coaching transition taking place there, his job security would be in question

Hofher was QB when I was at Cornell.

 

One of my best friends was recruited by George Seifert.

 

I’m pretty sure I’m much older than you, unless you played for Bob Blackman. 

 

What years did you play for the Big Red?

Hmmm   

DA costs the team a roster spot.  JP does not. 

 

Cooter (Stafford) and Lazor (Datlon) seem intriguing / interesting

[Bob in NoCal 20]

Just a thought, but is it possible that Culley was told the Bills were making a move at QB coach, and that's why he made the jump to the Ravens?

I'm sure you're right. 😀

[Over 29 years of fanhood 2,129]

I’m in the No to Palmer camp.

 

Let him be the off season guy that seems to be ok with the Bills guiding remotely.

 

 Don’t want to lose that

My vote is for Kyle Orton

[CommonCents 2,163]

Ben McAdoo would be a huge get. I’m not sure if he would go that low on the pole but he might get excited working with a guy like JA.
