Bears looking at replacement for Nagy. Daboll at top of their list...

[gonzo1105]

It’s going to be either Ken Dorsey or Chad Hall imo

Personally, me. 

What's your background?

[hondo in seattle]

I have to assume McD has already done succession planning for both his OC and DC.   Coordinators for good teams are always in demand.

 

So I'm guessing that Dorsey is already being groomed to take over.

I"d give it a shot.  "Spider 2 Y Banana" every down.

[BuffaloBillyG]

Yea as others have said...it's likely Dorsey that will take over. If the Bills choose to to outside the organization...then I'm not really certain. Just not Matt Nagy🤣

[BillsfaninChicago]

Just leave the position open and promote Russ Brandon COO. We actually did that when our GM position was vacant a lifetime ago.

I don't think Daboll really wants an NFL HC job.  Why would he go to the mess in Chicago?  Big money doen't always make a solid individual happy!!

Of course he would want a job, and usually glamor jobs aren't available so new head coaches need to usually fix a mess. 

 

These guys usually put in the same crazy hours as a head coach, I'm sure they'd love to get paid like one.

[billybrew1]

I think we even have the new QB coach already on the staff....

 

We are set at coaches for the time being.

 

The question remains can the new OC manufacture TDs as prolifically as Daboll can?

 

Brian really understands the game like a chess player understands chess. He knows how to set up everything to score TDs by the bunches.

Hopefully, Ken Dorsey is fine and we build the OL to be much better next season and that this greatly improves our current O (which isn't doing as well compared to last season's standards. I think we're struggling a little because our OL isn't playing as well as last season and defenses have taken away Josh's favorite passes pretty much.

Hopefully our current struggles (I know we're still prolific scoring) make us much stronger in the future.

Interestingly enough, our offense might be quite a bit different next season. We could upgrade along the OL and RB while letting go of Sanders upgrading our run game enough to get defenses to creep up the line thus opening up the passing game more. Furthermore, we could protect JA much better as a passer.

We could get two FAs for the O. A big, tough, vet RB and a run blocking guard while drafting another OL in the top two rounds and another RB late in the draft for competition in camp. We don't need to make our O like Baltimore's but having a solid run game changes a lot of things.

Probably draft a DT in the first and an OL in the second..... I am so glad we have nine picks for next season....

 

Go Bills!

[HappyDays]

Not going to be a popular answer, and unlikely to happen, but Doug Pederson. Realistically it is going to be Dorsey. I would just rather get an experienced OC in the building and considering the talent we have on offense we will have no shortage of suitors.

[JohnNord]

My money is on Ken Dorsey though a name to watch might be Chad Hall.  Very well-liked and well-respected and also has been very successful as WR coach.  Though, Daboll might also hire him as OC

As others have said, I think the smart money has to be Dorsey. He knows this offense, if it ain’t broke, etc., etc…

I'm looking forward to Daboll leaving for a HC gig, to be honest.

 

Way too many games where we have to overcome a terrible game plan and play calling.

All those terrible game plans last year led to a team record 501 points🤪

You ever been here during a game?? You wouldn’t be able to tell things aren’t broke after reading some of the posts! 😂

[without a drought]

If he calls another running play on 2nd and 10, they can have him.

No way Daboll is going to that hell hole/war zone. The McCaskeys will destroy any HC.

Since George Halas last patrolled the sidelines in Chicago in 1967, only three  of the 11 Bears coaches since Halas have +.500 records:

 

Mike Ditka:  .631

Lovie Smith: .563

Matt Nagy: .583

 

Lovie Smith got a raw deal in Chicago in hindsight.  81-63, went 3-3 in the playoffs.  That's not too bad.

 

Smith had talented teams and underperformed in crunch time.  Look, Nagy with a higher win percentage.  Team is like the Bengals of the NFC.  Wish they were better

I'd be fine with a running play.

 

My biggest beef is on 2nd and 10+ we end up taking a low percentage deep shot to Sanders... which then puts us in 3rd and Long instead of 3rd and Manageable.

 

We infamously did it on 2nd and 17 in the Tenn game. Then we did it TWICE last week.

 

Just take 3-5 yards on 2nd down and get us to 3rd and manageable.

[Milanos Milano]

I wouldn’t be upset.

I would say the next step up for our offense post-Dabs should incorporate some of what this guy’s selling:

If Dabol leaves who would you like to replace him?

Dorsey. Former QB as OC for me. Solid relationship with Josh already. Probably has his own ideas about where he'd tweak the offense. 

 

The pipeline is already stocked.

 

Plus, as I think one poster already alluded to, we could have our next QB coach-in-waiting in Davis Webb. He's doing the job of an offensive assistant already (did I read somewhere he also works with the defense a little?), works after hours with Josh on each week's gameplans, and can be seen during games working with Josh between drives on the sidelines. Their ritualistic training camp footraces alone get him an interview.

Stupid rule. If a team wants to punish themselves by not hiring the best candidate because if their skin color, well they'll be the one's to suffer.

 

 

It's a smart and effective rule.

 

The absolute worst result of following the Rooney Rule is that you have to give one extra interview. During which if you're smart, you can learn about the tactics of the last team, new plays, philosophies and the other members of the coaching staff of that team and even the players.

 

And while I hear you that you're arguing that only the team loses if they ignore a guy because of the color of his skin, the guy who didn't get an interview is also hurt, in that he's not in the national conversation and doesn't get practice interviewing for the next interview in a situation where they're open to finding the best candidate regardless of skin color or anything but effectiveness.

Doing anything every time you hit a situation makes you predictable and easy to defense. Yeah, I'm with you in that I'd like to see that be the majority of our calls in that situation, no, it shouldn't be all of them. Make them defend the whole field.

Dorsey's there. 

 

I'm not yet convinced they see him as heir apparent, though it's certainly possible.

 

I like Webb a lot as well, but he'll need a few years working his way up the coaching ladder before he's ready for a job that big. When he retires, I hope the Bills offer him an entry level shot.

 

My guess is they go outside, but I could definitely see them going with Dorsey instead.

Don't rule out Chad Hall either. He is going to be an OC somewhere in the not too distant future. If it isn't in Buffalo we will lose him to another opportunity.

Yea personally I think it will be Dorsey because what they won't want to risk is Daboll going to be a HC and Dorsey going to be an OC elsewhere at the same time and losing any continuity with Josh. But Hall is an impressive young coach with contacts in the league and with a guy like Diggs raving about him... he is on teams' radars from what I am told. So there are multiple internal options and then I don't totally rule out them going outside but in my view they'd only do that if there was like an A1 level OC out there and I am struggling to imagine who that might be? You know maybe someone like Frank Reich if he got fired but I just don't see that.

[JMF2006]

I am calling tampering...we want all their draft picks as compensation

[BuffaloBill]

Dabol will get interest from multiple teams. 

[Rico]

I’d just like to add that the next OC will probably be Ken Dorsey, but don’t sleep on Chad Hall.
