Woody Johnson, 2 months ago:

“I think he’s terrific at his job,” Johnson said about Maccagnan in March. “He has a plan that I believe in. It’s really key that he’s working well with Adam.”

 

...pretty sure he was out with Irsay the night before..."magic" in the glove box...............whoa Woody......

I must have missed the parts where McDermott's team lacked identity and character, where McDermott was publicly calling out his players for lack of effort, or where players who left the team made public comments about how absolutely thankful they were to be away from that tire fire.

I get it, though. Context isn't a thing in ScottLaw land. 

One of only two offenses worse than the Bills. “offensive HC”

Thanks, appreciate it.  But you just ruined the losers fun.  Maybe I should spell something wrong or use bad punctuation. 

 

They got to re-live an old TBD-ism. That one goes a way back. All in good fun.

Gase made the playoffs with Tannehill as his QB.  HE has a terrific record in close games.  I expect him to be pretty decent.  But we will see. 

 

Oh, and good job, typo police.

And Dick Jauron made the playoffs with Jim Miller as his QB.  Was he a good coach, too?

He did a terrible job in Cleveland. Especially with the safeties. 

 

..only a matter of time before Airhorn Greggy gets in a power struggle with the "Cornea Kid"......and who the hell said there was a major lull post draft??............

I really can’t think of a worse match than Gase and Greggo

I think Gase was generally surprised by this like all of us.  I hear that when he found out his eyes bugged out of his head.

Stress and high blood pressure from the expanded work load.  ?

This stuff is one of the reasons why the Patriots manage to stay atop the division for nearly two decades. The Bills were right there with the Jets, Dolphins in trying to find the right QB, the right HC, the right GM.

 

To me, it looks like the Bills finally have their franchise QB, their next Polian in Beane and McD the next Marv.

Now I KNOW he's the right guy for the Bills!

Haha, I agree! 

 

McD doesn't need to be the next Belichick right away as all he needs to do is hire the right assistant coaches. When his first choice at OC didn't get it done he replaced him! The same happened with the O line, receivers coach and special teams coach. We already know that Leslie Frazier is a good DC, while the jury is out on Daboll, Heath Farwell the new ST coach. 

 

Beane did his job in rebuilding the O line, finding that franchise QB and rebuilding that core of ST players. Now the coaches need to prove their worth.

Yeah, seems like what the Bills did with McD and Whaley unless I’m not remembering something. 

 

Wonder if Gase has a guy he’s pushing. 

Gase is probably pushing Gase. He took the job under the pretense that he'd give up personnel decisions, but I think he'll always want complete control and cause issues until he can make that happen.

Is this all that different from what we did with Whaley?

 

Whaley knew in January 2017 he was gone after the draft. This seems like more of a surprise. I hadn't seen any speculation that NYJ was going to shake up their front office.

The Jets problem has been that the Coach and the GM each report to the Owner.  Because of this there is a vast potential for back-biting.  They need to have the coach report to the GM.  I think Gates is a pretty good coach but has done nothing to merit being a GM.

I believe the Bills setup is also the same.  Sean and Beane report to the Pegulas.

Just as long as he doesnt stay as GM and promote  Greggo.

 

After all he was probably offered the HC job 5 times but turned it down so Gase could get it.  Just ask him he will tell you.

 

Would be funnier if Gregg Williams was offered GM job.

We didnt let Whaley spend millions on top of millions in free agency. Also Whaley, while him and his staff were around for reference, McDermott ran that draft.

I do agree with you, I just think there is a parallel there. If you remember, there was a lot of national negative criticism after the Bills fired Whaley and the scouts after the draft. Many who were not following the Bills closely scratched their heads and were confused about the timing, just like in this situation.

 

Looking back, everything is clear and the moves make sense. 

 

No it does not make sense to fire all of the scouts and then hire 3 back.

It does not make sense to fire all of the coaches under contract (other than ST Coordinator) and then hire coaches who you fire in a year.

 

Negative criticism on firings are warranted.

They Had an idiot for a GM.  As did the Jets.  Gase has recognized his deficiencies in the D department and hired Greggo.

 

You didn't like MacCagnan?  I thought he had the Jets going in the right direction.  Agree that Greggo is a good DC hire.

 

Not sure what to think of Chris Grier in Miami.  Have to see if he gels with the new HC.  I hope not!

We could be the next train wreck come spring of 2020

 

If so, that is the end of McD, and possibly Beane.  I would personally lean against this happening.

It does make sense if it gets you to where you want to go.

The players He will have on D in NJ are scary.

Let’s not pile on the Jets.   We have virtually no idea what the Bills will be this season.

Nah, I'll pile on the Jets. Thanks for the advice.

Pig pile on the Jets is the only way to go here.
