Nextmanup Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I wish I had more hands so I could give this idea FOUR THUMBS DOWN! Lynn was as clueless a HC as I have seen in this league. We can do better for OC, if we need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan_34 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) No- we want to continue to run the same offense. I am not sure if Dorsey is ready but if so, elevate him of Daboll leaves. Edited January 4, 2021 by billsfan_34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I don't feel any strong impulse to bring him back but to his credit, he was outstanding here when he was thrust into the role of offensive coordinator. He was innovative, aggressive and somehow managed to put together what I think was a Top 10 scoring offense with Tyrod freaking Taylor as his QB. He won't end up back here, but wherever he does end up, somebody is going to be getting a very good offensive coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) We've known that Daboll was a great play designer...and this year, we've seen him really excel as a play caller. That's the part that'll worry me if Daboll leaves for a HC gig. Whoever they chose to replace him, surely they'll be just as well versed in play designs and they'll sit with Josh and learn what he likes and doesn't like, etc. But it'll be the play calling that'll be key. Knowing the situations and having the right calls dialed up is something Daboll has excelled at this season. If they go internal I gotta imagine Ken Dorsey is someone who would be strongly considered but I don't think he has any major play calling experience. I'd still feel pretty confident if they went with him. Former QB, has worked with Josh for a while now, knows the players, knows the system, etc. Edited January 4, 2021 by blacklabel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 We could do far far worse than Anthony Lynn. Chargers had the 6th best passing offense (9th best total offense). He's very well respected around the league too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 1 hour ago, ticketssince61 said: 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. Yeah Herbert had the most successful rookie season EVER by a QB. Chargers gonna' charge. But in this case I think it might be more about Tom Telesco getting to HIRE Brian Daboll rather than fire Lynn. GM Telesco and Daboll are HS buddies from St. Francis..........I'd be surprised if Daboll went anywhere else..........only issue is that, as you certainly know, the Chargers ownership may be even worse than 2000's Ralphy. Lynn did a great job early with that sh*t show organization but being a black HC without a long history of coordinating success he would seem to have very little chance of getting hired outright by an unfamiliar franchise as a HC again. His best shot to get back to a HC position is to go somewhere that the HC is on his last chance and maybe he can get an interim gig and win a HC job.

The Lynn Bills were 7th in the NFL in scoring........lead the NFL in rushing AND plays of over 20 yards...........and had yielded the fewest turnovers by any team since the merger thru 16 weeks in 2016. The EJ/Cardale disaster in the finale tarnished that some but it was still the best offensive season the Bills had since mid-way thru the SB years. Under Lynn.......Herbert just had the best statistical season for a rookie QB in NFL history. The Bills system might be best left as it is.........but if Lynn doesn't get some good OC offers at least then something ain't right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not ever going to have the natural chops to manage a game as a head coach, but I'd never be unhappy with him calling my offense. The folks ragging on him either don't understand those are two separate jobs or have even worse issues with short-term memory than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills don't have to knee jerk to bring back old personnel (coaches, players, etc) anymore. Should there be a change at OC, they will have their pick of the litter of candidates. I could not be less worried, and this isn't to say that they shouldn't interview Lynn -- but it's just that they don't have to, and will almost certainly end up in great shape.

He went to a franchise LOADED on both sides of the ball, then got his a$$ handed to him in the playoffs by Belichick in one of the worst showings I’ve ever seen. His special teams and game management have been among the worst in the league. I know you still think the 2016 Bills were “on the cusp” and Lynn would have been the perfect choice but it’s time to own up to a horribly bad take. If ALynn gets another HC job I’ll be very surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ALynn gets another HC job I’ll be very surprised. I never banged the drum for the Bills to hire Anthony Lynn as their HC. Was I greatly disappointed in the Rick Dennison hire and did I want to retain the very successful 2016 offensive playbook they had? Yes and that opinion angered you and many others. McD did the right thing admitting the mistake immediately and firing Dennison after just one woeful season(including the worst QB'd game in NFL history). Lynn appears to be a Wade Phillips level HC. Initially inspiring and capable of getting production by adapting his schemes to the personnel like few can. But the message falls on deaf ears after a while when it's clear that the HC isn't next-level prepared. His mistakes this year were like a mirror image of bad-Wade. Some of you loved Wade as a HC. When things went wrong for Wade they went REAL wrong. But ultimately he was a hell of an assistant coach and so is Lynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
