JohnNord Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Interesting tiddbitt from ESPN insider (Dan Graziano) which speculated that Leslie Frazier might be a candidate for Bears HC after Matt Nagy gets fired this season. He would not be an exciting hire but I always thought he was a great leader and everyone seems to love him. Chicago would make a lot of sense considering his connection to the 85 Bears. Of course, this could also be his agency trying to drum up interest https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/leslie-frazier-reportedly-connected-to-bears-head-coaching-job/?amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Doubtful. The bears are all about developing Fields, and Frazier isn’t the man for that. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Round Bust Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) it takes a village, credit Josh development to his willingness to work hard and with Carson Palmer, Dorsey, Daboll, his crew of receivers off-season etc Other than Josh what is on Dorsey resume to highlight ?

A lot of decisions have to go a certain way for this to play out in that manner. Also, I feel like Daboll's stock is lower than it was a year ago, and he was passed over then. If something like this plays out, so be it! We can discuss then, but it's so far away now, it's hard to get too caught in the speculation.

78thealltimegreat Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 They’ll want a offensive mind for fields…I could see him taking a d coordinator job if he where offered it though being a former Bear and considering this is really McDermotts defense anyway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I really don’t want to lose Frazier (and don’t agree with the fans that do) but I’d be happy for him if he lands a head coaching job. I know he badly wants to be a head coach again and I think he’s earned the opportunity. The Bills defense has been consistently good every year, minus the weird 2020 covid year without crowds. I’m not all that anxious to change what has been working pretty well. Personally, I think he’s earned the shot more than Daboll has. But I’d rather Daboll get hired away than Frazier. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I think you'll see him in the mix for both the Bears and Raiders. Mayock spent time in Minnesota when he was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheektowaga Chad Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 If one thing this season has shown me, if the bills lose either coordinator they will be alright.

It sounded like Daboll was going to San Diego but he couldn’t interview and Staley blew them away. It was more of a timing issue for him. Also he chose not to interview for Houston - he probably could’ve had that job. I would agree that his stock isn’t as high as last year but he is still highly regarded and a lot can change over the next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) If he is hired to a HC position we would get a 3rd round comp pick in each of the next two drafts because of the NFL's new minority hire incentive. I wouldn't be especially happy to see him go but McDermott is the real brains behind the defense and two top 100 draft picks is a nice reward.

Or maybe Frazier has learned from the Minnesota gig and working under McDermott that he can hire an OC he trusts to develop Fields while he concentrates on the D and in game coaching.

dave mcbride Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) I think there's very little chance Daboll gets hired as a HC anywhere. He's still a Belichick guy, identity-wise (none of whom have succeeded in the past), and this season combined with all of the bad statistical seasons prior to Allen are going to make it impossible to sell him to a fan base.

Logic Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I'd rather NOT lose Frazier. Daboll, on the other hand? I would not feel sad if he found greener pastures. I think it's time for some fresh ideas on this Bills offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
