That's some stuff there. In case anyone wondered what kind of relationship Daboll and Josh have, that really laid it out. For those who don't get a lot out of McDermott's interview, by the way, Daboll has become by far the most interesting and intriguing of the coaching interviews.

zow2 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Its been mentioned all season, even yesterday nationally..how great of a job Daboll has done with Josh. Obviously they respect each other and care about each other deeply and it shows with results on the field. Daboll will get a head coaching offer this offseason...assuming the Bills don’t completely implode. He’s a lock (if he wants to be a head coach) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Not that this is even a possibility at this point, but I'd rather keep Daboll over McDermott if one has to go. I think in time, keeping the Clapmaster while letting Daboll walk will end up looking like a foolish decision. 1 1 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sticking with mine that Daboll wants a SB ring with the Bills and he is going to give that a couple years more.

He’s a lock (if he wants to be a head coach) i guess there maybe about 5 HC spots in the league and the top 5 media candidates will probably be: 1. KC Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy 2.

Buffalo Junction Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I think he’ll stick around unless the right offer comes along. I can’t see him bailing on what’s become a cushy OC gig in his city with a QB who’s making him look good for a mismanaged franchise with poor ownership. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGMcD2 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Pretty cool interview. The raw emotions and feelings are great, easily the single thing I love the most about this team. Everything is genuine. As much as everyone gives McDermott crap, he’s installed something like this. That word love has serious meaning there. He said in 2017 he was building the team, the culture, the organization on LOVE. Then you hear one of his top lieutenants preaching that in a candid interview. It’s not just lip service people. The behavior, the attitude, the people... they’re all an extension of what McDermott is putting in place. Don’t let his steady hand fool you... he’s not dumb... he knows EXACTLY what he is doing. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could it ever look like a "foolish decision" to keep your winning HC instead of firing him and promoting the OC? Even if it were possible that would destroy the locker room irrevocably. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I think Daboll will be on the list for interviews. I’m not sure he’s gonna get a job as head coach yet. I’m sure he’s more than capable, I’m not a big fan of his play calling a lot of times but he seems to have that leader of men mentality that players want to play for and most coaches don’t have. It’ll be interesting to see how many jobs are available vs the candidates that emerge. I think barring a big turnaround Roman is probably out of the head coach conversation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 1 hour ago, Scott7975 said: Can't watch now =( Any chance you can give a small summary? Background: late last year when it was reported Daboll would be interviewing for the Cleveland job, Josh was asked in an interview and was visibly taken aback. Said he didn't know that, actually. Sort of collected himself then said that he really appreciated everything Daboll had done for him and how Daboll had taken him under his wing, he'd be the first to tell Daboll to take a job that could mean so much to his family, and if he (Josh) lost him (Daboll) he'd deal with it when it happened. Ended "I love him, and that'll never change". But then there's Josh's story about making the wrong throw and having Daboll scream at him in his helmet and looking over to see him red-faced and screaming on the sidelines and going over and having Daboll calm down then get even angrier and scream even more. And Josh's 2nd year having Daboll move to the booth after he was observed screaming at Josh on the sidelines after an interception. And Daboll has been asked if he's proud of Josh, and he's sidestepped. Said stuff like "it's what I expect of him" and "I thought he made good decisions, most of the time" So today's interview. Daboll was asked about the OL, and all the injuries and changes, and he said straight out he was proud of them and talked about positional flexibility and what a hard working intelligent group they are..pretty standard coach stuff. Then Jon Scott mentioned Josh's grandmother passing and asked Daboll to put into words how he viewed Josh's performance yesterday, understanding what he was going through. Daboll said "that's a good question" and scratched his bald pate and I was prepared for more standard coach speak. Daboll hesitated. Said he just felt for Josh. Said he has a grandmother who's really special to him and he can't imagine how tough that was. Said he has so much respect for Josh as a person and a player, "I love him, just be there for him". Said Josh did a really good job of staying focused, there weren't many people who knew about it, that's kind of the guy he is. "He's the ultimate teammate the ultimate competitor, and when he came off the field into the locker room he just kind of fell into my arms a little bit...a lot of emotion there not only for him but for me, when you love somebody and something happens to them it's tough but then to see it happen to someone you really care about as a player, it's tough. But it's why his teammates love him too, he's all day competitive, all day tough, he'll do anything for them." Jon Scott asked "what it meant to him that Josh confided something so personal to him, knowing that he (Josh) could have gone out and played with all of that kept inside, what does that mean for your relationship that maybe...that clearly goes beyond just player-coach?" Daboll said "A lot..I just care about him so much as a person, more than a football player.. we've been through a lot together in these last three years...he just... he means a lot to me." It just seemed like the doors flew open and we were all being given what seems like a real glimpse into the genuine inner workings of the Daboll-Josh relationship, and perhaps one of the reasons why both of them seem able to have improved so much - if there's hard-nosed critique or even red-faced yelling going on now-a-days, it takes place on a genuine bedrock of mutual love and trust. There was more good stuff in response to Kim Jones questions and etc. 3 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stays in Buffalo long enough with Josh Allen as his QB, his resume is going to be golden and he may end up with a ring.. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I remember when Daboll was on the sidelines, not upstairs. He was a screamer and JA performed mediocre. Daboll moved upstairs and all the sudden magic happened .. JA started performing, excelling. Daboll needs some straightening up before he's HC material.

I think perhaps Daboll has had the growth he needed, and that might be one reason why there's apparently such a deep bond between the two. They must have had some frank talks where Josh learned to really listen and to be a more coachable player, and Daboll learned some stuff about being a coach a player can listen to and learn from. At this point, I don't think it matters where Daboll is during the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple million in a solid position beats twice that as the HC of the Browns and waiting to get fired. I get wanting to be set for life, but NOT if it means being set up to fail in a miserable situation. Money is nice, happiness is better.

Buffalo Boy Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 “ I just really believe that each week is it’s own unique week.” This season Daboll is really starting to display the NE coaching upbringing he had. This team come out and clearly emphasizes different facets of the playbook each week. I drool at the prospects that this foreshadows. After having watched a million losses to NE where that O would turn on a dime from short slants and quick outs to power sets and jumbo packages without missing a beat, imagine Josh leading an O like that ( he is smart enough) as he really starts to understand Opposing defenses😍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
