GunnerBill Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I see that we are still over a week later deep in the autopsy of the Bills' playoff loss to the Chiefs.

We have SEVEN new Head Coaches in the National Football League Jaguars - Urban Meyer Texans - David Culley Jets - Robert Saleh Chargers - Brandon Staley Falcons - Arthur Smith Lions - Dan Campbell Eagles - Nick Sirianni All you have to do is decide of those seven who is he "most likely" to do the following things.... Start someone other than his incumbent starting Quarterback* week 1: Be a 'one and done' Head Coach: Make the playoffs his first year: Win NFL Coach of the Year at some point in his first 3 years: Win a Superbowl in the job to which he has just been hired: Become Head Coach of the Buffalo Bills at some point in the future: *for the purposes of this question the "incumbent starters" are: Minshew, Watson, Darnold, Herbert, Ryan, Goff, Hurts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Don’t really feel like playing this game, but there are only two coaches on that list who impress me at any level — Saleh and Staley. That still doesn’t mean they’ll be successful, since we have seen “it takes a village” — ownership, GM, HC — to create lasting success. Meyer is an interesting case. You can’t question his success at the college level but will it translate/can he adapt to the professional game? Culley is a completely uninspiring hire. It’s reminiscent of the Bills hiring Chan Gailey, but without the assistant or college coaching success. I actually read something from a reporter who said Sirianni is “sort of smart, but not super smart.” Wow, that should get Eagles fans excited. I literally know nothing about Arthur Smith. And finally, Dan Campbell is a joke. He is, quite literally, a caricature of an “old school, hard-nosed” football coach. It’s going to be entertaining to watch.

You can’t question his success at the college level but will it translate/can he adapt to the professional game? I think those three are the most likely successes. Saleh because I think he was the best "candidate" on the market and is paired with a good GM and a boatload of picks (although it is the Jets and the Johnsons....), Staley because while I think it was maybe a year too early for him in an ideal world he inherits the best roster and a young QB who had an excellent rookie year and Meyer because he has the force of personality to turn Jacksonville around which it needs and he gets Trevor Lawrence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the most likely to start a new quarterback is going to be Jacksonville starting Trevor Lawrence after they pick him first. The most likely one and done is in Philadelphia, because their organization manages its team like fans and their last two head coaches have played in the Super Bowl and they fired both. Say what you will about Detroit and Atlanta, but we know ownership there is going to give their guys plenty of time. I will choose Urban Meyer for the most likely to make the playoffs, mostly because the AFC South is not a great division. Houston is a mess, Indianapolis does not have a quarterback and Tennessee has tannehill. Trevor Lawrence coming in as a rookie is a better situation than the other two. None of these guys are going to coach the bills because McDermott's going to be here for quite a while. The most likely to win coach of the year is the Chargers, simply because they should improve with health given the talent base.

Not wanting to derail my own thread but given a lot of people are refusing to pick on the "coach the Bills option" and I get it, I think McD is here for a long time too I am a huge McD homer and he was my guy in that 2017 hiring season. But I wonder where people would put the over/under on how many more seasons McDermott will coach in Buffalo? I feel like either 3.5 or 4.5 is where you'd put the number and I'd bet the over... anyone think the bookmakers would set the line higher than that?

CNYfan Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I think Staley will make the Playoffs his first year and win a Super Bowl eventually (if any of them do). He has the QB. And some studs on defense already. The roster is pretty good. Culley may be one and done. Lawrence will start at QB week one and I don't think any of those guys will ever coach the Bills.

Start someone other than his incumbent starting Quarterback* week 1: Culley. Watson likely will be gone. Be a 'one and done' Head Coach: Urban. He retired from a relatively cushy college job due to health concerns from working too much and stress. That is amplified 20x in the NFL. Make the playoffs his first year: Brandon Staley. Chargers have a good roster and a very good young franchise QB. Win NFL Coach of the Year at some point in his first 3 years: Brandon Staley. I think they could challenge the Chiefs within a few years for the division. Win a Superbowl in the job to which he has just been hired: Brandon Staley. All starts at QB and the Chargers have the best of the bunch by far outside of Watson but he likely won't be there much longer.
