Not saying he can’t do it but I don’t think it should be a foregone conclusion that he’d be the next man up. We gotta keep the same playbook... Josh knows this offense so well. It would be bad for his growth to have to start from square one. Dorsey may have not have called plays... but all OCs started out without ever calling a play before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Not that they already need more motivation but the boys on offense mat want tonsend Daboll out on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he’s going to sabotage the team, but I’m sure he wouldn’t be that upset if we lost tonight given he’d probably be named Charges HC tomorrow.

billsherd Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 So what about Ken Dorsey going with Daboll to Chargers as the OC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Makes total sense given what they have to work with . If he does go there they will be a force fairly quickly i think . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBean Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Is Josh Allen still going to be here in Buffalo tho? Because that’s ALL that matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not without the Bills permission, and not clear that will be forthcoming. Unless, of course, contracts are up. No contract means free to go.

benderbender Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Hope no one has any unrealistic expectations about Daboll staying. You don’t become a coach with the lifelong ambition to be the hometown OC. He will take the best offer for him and his family. Just like you wouldn’t give your job a hometown discount on your salary, he’s got to look out for #1. We have to plan for the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Yeah, I mentioned in a couple of other threads that Dan Orlovsky hinted last week on NFL Live that he was going to the Chargers. I have a feeling this is all but a done deal. I just hope he is staying 100% focused on the Ravens right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering this all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbiage changes but a lot of times coaches adjust to players verbiage also. I think the only fear I have is freedom in the offense. Someone new could want things done his way. I listened to Allen talk about WR route running and how he doesn't care if a WR runs a route differently than it's supposed to be run, just get open. A different coach might say no, run that route how it's supposed to be run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can make a case for Chad Hall (because if we don't we lose him sooner rather than later) but the question should be what would Josh be most comfortable with? And then do that. 6 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Just remember, if they're under contract we control that. For all but 1. We can't now block a coordinator interview. So say we hire Dorsey as OC and Daboll asks to speak to Hall as his OC we can't block that. Edited January 16, 2021 by GunnerBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 You would think after you just fired one failed HC from buffalo that you would not take a chance on another. We need to keep winning to prevent teams from signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are reluctant to prevent coach migration due to "reputation" - teams are looked as bad boys despite coaches being ones breaking contact but they never refuse payment when cut.

He wants to win tonight, next Sunday, and Sunday two weeks later. Promise you that. Plus, he'll get his shot at HC regardless. QB developers are the second hottest commodity after only QBs themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
