Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Plus he has already got his shot as a HC, we cannot cash in to get two 3rd rd picks. He checks no boxes and does nothing to improve this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 1 minute ago, bigK14094 said: He replaced Roman, and things got better immediately as I recall. Maybe that was because Rex didn't meddle in the offense. The Bills scored 31 points the game Roman was fired after. They had a lot of talent on offense in 2016 that left a year or 2 later. Lynn didn't show me anything that made me think he was a good offensive coordinator. I must admit that I never want any coach who was part of the Rex Ryan clown show ever to walk the Buffalo Bills sidelines again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I am not sure Lynn would fit, I think he will get an OC position, but I think the passing attack with Josh is clearly the strength of this offense and I am not sure Lynn would be able to craft that type of offense. If Daboll leaves I wouldn't hate seeing Lynn, as he did good with the rookie the Chargers had this year but I think there might either be an internal candidate that is better or another outside candidate that is a better fit. Long story short wouldn't hate Lynn as OC if Daboll leaves but there might be a better fit for Josh than Lynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo03 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 If Daboll leaves, more than likely we will go with Ken Dorsey which is the current QB coach. Someone that Allen is familiar with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 37 minutes ago, unbillievable said: Lynn is well respected coach. He's a culture fit. Also, he would help the run game and short passing game; the Bills' (arguably) least effective facet of the offense. Not to Mention Herbert was still slinging the ball out there. He lost games because he routinely sat on leads and went conservative. And the “run game” is perfect the way it is. A support function for a team that leads with passing. Lynn is a Rex Ryan holdover.

foreboding Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Why? Would we not prefer to keep the exact same system? You want to bring a coach here and teach him the Daboll system when we have 1 or 2 (at least) who should be able to take up the hallowed mantle of continuity...

Stay in house. Dorsey comes with some good experience. But, none as an OC. Daboll, on the other hand, had that job a few other places. (Alabama, Miami, and maybe one other) before coming here.) Also, 9 years on Belicheck's staff...but never got promoted there. I still wonder about that with the great job Dabs has done here. Of course, he has the horses, as they say, this year. The superior Josh, Diggs, Brown, Beasley.......better line. (OK, no TE really, just pretenders) Not sure Dorsey can do the schemimg needed to put together a game plan....that is taking opponent tape input used to put together the game plan every week. THAT is what the OC does. Still, I think continuity arguments and his connection to McD will result in him getting the job. Of course, its a tough situation coming in after Daboll....as he has a GREAT record this year of being a clairvoyant OC, tough act to follow.

A couple of positives would be that we could keep the same terminology and schematically we can run the same stuff as he’s been involved very closely with this process. And again he has very close ties with Josh. What Josh likes what Josh doesn’t like I trust that the guys in charge will find the right guy if/when it comes down to that Edited January 4, 2021 by r00tabaga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'm surprised by the negative reaction. Lynn failed as a head coach because he has no situational awareness in critical game moments. That's a head coaching skill, not a coordinator skill. He helped develop Herbert into the likely OROY and had one of the best passing offenses in the league. He was also a good OC here, with very little talent at this disposal. I think this would be a great hire. I'm all for continuity but nothing about Dorsey excites me. What has he proved?

Most feel Lynn just used Roman's playbook and called plays, am sure he did more yet his connection to Rex Ryan doesn't help either. In terms of Dorsey he seems like an up and comer and fresh blood whereas Lynn has been coaching in the NFL for over 20 years. He's Dorsey's Need to Know when he came here, as we know what he's done with Josh as QB coach here already. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/sports/g66l-2019/02/abed3b8bba2141/7-things-to-know-about-new-buffalo-bills-qbs-coach-ken-dorsey.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticketssince61 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I live in LA but only follow the Bills. I am a little surprised they fired Lynn because of the development of QB Herbert. Herbert is the future of the franchise so a bit perplexed why they would change systems/regimes on their QB after a very successful rookie year.
