NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 My short term memory is crappola, so can't remember if it was Sal on his WGR show this morning or the 1st hour of OBL, but the point was made that we shouldn't be so focused on losing Dabs being the end all be all for Allen--the Bills will be such an attractive landing spot for OC's with Josh at the helm, that McD will have his hands full fielding all the calls from ueber-qualified candidates wanting it that we will prolly wind up with a top 5 in the league-type candidate regardless! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quincy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Should Daboll be offered the Jets job and decide to take it he knows that he is in for a tough road ahead. Bills won 13 games this year, Miami 10 and the remaining team has BB who know doubt will be determined to show that this past losing season is a blip. In all probability the Jets will finish 4th in the AFCE next year. If I was him, I'd be patient and wait for the Chargers opening and relish the opportunity to work with an old friend and do battle with Reid and Mahomes - if not stay in Buffalo and continue the good work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domitian Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 For someone to take the Jets job at this point it has to be because they simply want to be a head coach...period, and don't care how they get it as long as they get that job title. OR they're so full of themselves that they think they have the midas touch to magically turn them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffBillsForLife Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 If I'm Daboll I definitely want to go to the Chargers or the Jaguars, not the dumpster fire that is the NY Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Poor guy. I really hope he doesn't end up there. I have a feeling he will be going to the Chargers. Of course, I really hope he ends up staying here. I know the Pegulas would be happy to increase his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronthebaron Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Please no. I expected lose him but thought it’d be Chargers or Jaguars to help their young QB’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to lose Daboll, but if he does take a head coaching job I definitely don’t want it to be with the Jets and then have to face him twice a year when he has intimate knowledge of Allen’s strengths and weaknesses more than probably anyone else on the planet. If he goes, he needs to go far away, preferably to an NFC team but not to a division rival, as bad as they currently may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 35 minutes ago, dneveu said: I'd say considerably better. Mahomes career YPA is over a yard higher than Herbert. Same with Mahomes NY/A and ANY/A. Sure - he has Kelce and Hill (occaisionally watkins too). But Herbert has Allen (best slot WR in the NFL), Hunter Henry (top 5 TE), and one of the best receiving backs in the NFL in Ekeler. Mahomes is an MVP winner, Super bowl MVP, and Super bowl winner. The guy slings it all over the field, has a cannon, and plays his best football in crunch time. Herbert had moments this year, however his top 3 targets (henry, allen, ekeler) all had aDOTs under 8 yards. He also had about 150 RB targets where they all had a sub 0 aDOT. Thats basically if 2/3 targets went to cole beasley and singletary. Not to say that he can't make downfield throws, because he did - just trying to say that he did not attack down field as much, or as often. Mahomes is in his 4th year...he didn't do what Herbert did as a rookie...he barely played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just as likely that he is the next Freddie Kitchens as opposed to the next good HC. Coordinators becoming HC is a toss up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Just now, Big Turk said: Mahomes is in his 4th year...he didn't do what Herbert did as a rookie...he barely played. He didn't play at all as a rookie. Just saying - almost 2/3 of Herberts targets had an average depth of target shorter than 8 yards. His intended air yards per attempt was 7.

MJS Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 He would be great for Darnold, but he has to see that it's going to be a tough division to find success going forward. So I would bet that the Jets are not his first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers have Herbert and great weather - is Daboll a California guy? West Coast is far from his roots. Jax as a city, has really nothing to offer over Buffalo, but with the #1 pick, the HC job might be compelling. Houston has Deshawn Watson and a huge market.

Coordinators becoming HC is a toss up. Yeah but they get paid $25-$30M guaranteed money to find out if they are a HC failure or not.... And then if he is a failure he can go back to being an OC ... probably even back here if the timing was right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
