eball Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Story here. Yeah, that's bound to work out well. And the GM has already said Tua is the starter. What is Flores smoking? He arguably coached the Fish out of a playoff berth last season with his botching of the QB situation, and now he's on his 3rd/4th OC in three seasons. This division should be the Bills' to own for years. 5 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Early reports say for the first half of the season Studesville is going to coordinate the left side of the field, while Godsey coordinates the right side. Second half of the season they’re going to split it between even and odd quarters. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Makes total sense. One coordinator for Tua and when he craps the bed, one coordinator for Fitz. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The Dolphins saw how TSW treated Daboll after some losses; hell, after some wins! They'll just trot out one coordinator after a game, and when the reporters grouse, he'll just say, "Oh, he called that play!" 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Flores is getting too cute here. He's made a lot of mistakes, but he is still a promising coach. This is just goofy, though. As Socrates used to say on Twitter: "If you have 2 offensive coordinators, you don't have any."

I doubt Fitz would return with Gailey leaving and likely being a backup. I'm sure he'll go somewhere that has a rookie QB that needs a seasoned backup behind him to see if he can start again as seems like Fitz doesn't want to be a backup anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 One OC to draw up plays for Tua and one to start drawing up plays for Watson, just in case.

GunnerBill Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I mean so basically did San Francisco last season and they made the Superbowl....... admittedly that was a different situation because their HC calls the plays anyway and is an offensive guy. They are basically making Studesville run game coordinator and Godsey passing game coordinator. I don't think that in itself is flawed. But they need to work out who calls the plays.

And the QB coach "will have input." Too many damn cooks and this will end poorly. I'm beginning to question what I thought earlier this season about Miami becoming the Bills' biggest threat in the East. I don't think Flores knows what he's doing. Edit: Oh, and the best thing about this? The Bills keep Dorsey so when Daboll gets a HC job after next season's SB championship Dorsey will slide in to the Bills' OC role.

I still think Flores is a good coach. Saleh screwed the Dolphins on this OC hire. The Dolphins wanted to hire Mike McDaniel... the run game coordinator from the 49ers and as a co-OC without the title the 9ers couldn't block it. But then Saleh took the Jets job and hired Mike LaFleur the 49ers passing game coordinator as his OC so Shanahan officially promoted McDaniel to the single "Offensive Coordinator" and he preferred that than going to Miami.

First Round Bust Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 more teams moving to a running game and passing game coordinator....pros and cons...someone has to call the play and I can see debate-friction as to when to call what kind of play...like on 4th and 2 and you call a time-out you cant have those 2 guys arguing over the play call... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden*Wheels Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Well, they played two qbs last year. If they add a third qb to play, will they add a third coordinator? They are really getting high off their own farts IMO. Yup, they kinda sorta made two qbs work for a season. It can't work forever. You're going to have to let your top pick sink or swim sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think starting Tua was a mistake for the franchise going forward. It was a mistake if winning in 2020 was the only thing on his mind.....which I don’t think is the case. He coaching long term and playing Tua was smart imo. Fitz isn’t the answer and the best case scenario for that team was make the playoffs and lose in round 1.

That’s a different situation. No one has gone the co-coordinator route because it probably doesn’t work. Miami interview some good candidates at OC like “Pep” Hamilton and Matt “Blame” Canada. Glad they went with these two. Now, time to sell continuity to the fan base! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
