CorkScrewHill Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Unlike many I do not hate Daboll, but he is definitely focused on becoming a head man. Michigan St has been turned down by a lot of coaches at this point and Daboll did serve as a Graduate Assistant for them back in the 90s (colleges seem to care about that sort of thing) and has good college coaching experience. While I do not hate him I would be mildly happy to see if the Bills could get a more innovative offensive mind to counter act McDermott (who I am very high on but he needs to be saved from her conservatism some times). Interested in other thoughts .. though if this is considered a lame topic I am fine with it being closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) I don’t think he would see that as a good opportunity. Bad AD, no talent, heavy lift recruiting wise, possible sanctions, have to try to win in the big 10 East with a program that lacks any juice. Also would need to find decent coordinators this late in the game would be impossible . 5 years ago, and maybe 5 years from now, could see him seeing that as an upward trajectory. Right now he’d be nuts to give up a NFL coordinator job to take over that burning tire fire. Edited February 11, 2020 by YoloinOhio 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I’m sure some of you would like to see him be re-assigned to a retail position at Macy’s. I’ll hope he and the rest of the staff can continue to develop. I don’t like change unless it’s abundantly clear it’s necessary. I’ll wait and see, with fingers crossed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see change as constantly necessary. But not for changes sake. You only choose to make changes when you have a clear upgrade. Don't only keep Daboll because you could do worse, but don't fire him because you think you can do better. You have to know it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I don't think it makes sense for Daboll. One more year and if he makes the Bills offense..mediocre then he can write his ticket in the NFL. His pedigree and then taking an awful offense up to bad and then mediocre would have him generating a lot of buzz. Given that he projects to returns most of his starters or possibly upgrade them and the continuity of a 3rd year, his prospects look better in Buffalo look much better than trying to turn around a program in flux where you need a bigger name than Daboll's to pull in recruits.

Chandler#81 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 MSU is in a world of hurt. Colleges typically make coaching changes early/mid December, often before they play a Bowl game. It has to be that way in order to set the recruiting schedule and rate the HSers. Its pretty damn late for the NFL too. Nothing but scraps left to try to form a coaching staff.

Yeah, at this point, think they are better off keeping the interim guy for this coming season and hire the long term guy the end of this year. Bills would have the same issue too if he left now.

Of course, having an interim coach will just further kill their recruiting for another year. They are already coming off of the worst recruiting class of dantonio’s career. But trying to hire someone now just seems like they are working with the dregs of who is available like Bert Bieliema etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turftoe Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 This is kind of a dumb thread. Daboll is going to light it up this year with better weapons and the continued growth of Josh Allen.

J-GunJoshAllen17 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Because Daboll deserves one more year based on what he has done. But what is more important is next off-season there is a decent possibility we fire Daboll if the offense is still sluggish and bring in Frank Reich to be OC f the Colts don't make the playoffs and he is fired.

ny33 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Allen likes Daboll, and was much better under his watch. That’s reason enough to keep the guy around for at least another year. He’s not perfect, but disruptive change is worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see the colts firing Reich anytime soon if he gets a franchise QB and turns things around. Look how close he was when he had a banged up/bruised up Andrew Luck. Even if Reich gets fired there’s a good chance someone will give him another HC gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 College football is all about recruiting. Why anyone would think Daboll could be a good recruiter in the upper Midwest with national stretch potential for 3 star recruits outside the region is beyond me. That's not a criticism of Daboll. There is no chance he'll get this job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
