JGMcD2 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I’m starting to do the arithmetic on the potential Head Coach openings and rumored names… we might not lose Frazier or Daboll… again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 If we were to lose all 3 of Frazier, Daboll, and Dorsey then this team would take a hit imo. I've always thought Dorsey was our OC in waiting. That would mean Josh, Diggs, Davis, Knox, and whoever else would be starting over in a completely new system. I don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be surprised if either is a HC next year, no matter how well the Bills finish the season. I could maybe see Frazier getting a shot somewhere like Vegas, where they need some stability and sanity.

I don't like it. a few things come to mind with the worries about losing Daboll/Dorsey… 1) in a lot of ways - josh is the system at this point 2) there’s not a shortage of guys out there that could come in with similar verbiage and concepts 3) based on point 1, would all those pass catchers be happy if someone came in and installed an identity that stretched beyond putting it all on josh. For instance is gabe Davis a better receiver with a strong run game and josh not taking a beating, even if he needs to learn a few new reads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pats had to do this all the time. If you are a winning team this happens. I’d rather Daboll go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with that kind of talent many excellent coaches will want to be an OC for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a lot less soft shell conservative and a lot more aggression. I definitely prefer the aggressive approach; especially with how explosive the Bills offense can be. I'd rather get off the field quicker. The soft d is like dying the 'death of a thousand cuts' and keeps the Bills offense off the field too long. It drives me crazy watching them give up first downs underneath while the secondary plays behind the line to gain. Giving the Bills offense more opportunities at the cost of giving up an occasional big play on defense is a winning trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would be successful no matter what. I just don't want us to end up with an OC who "thinks he knows best" all the time. I do think there is actually something to having continuity and these guys, Daboll/Dorsey, have been with him for 4 years now. I'm not saying we would be doomed if they both left, just that I think it could possibly have a negative effect in the short term. Frazier leaving, though I think losing a guy with that kind of knowledge is always tough, wouldn't be as much of an issue because McDermott's background is this defense we run. Losing all three would trickle over into a lot of things. Maybe multiple coaches going with those who left and significant changes going into the 2022 season. 9 hours ago, ganesh said: I think with that kind of talent many excellent coaches will want to be an OC for this team. Sure, with the talent we have on this team Buffalo is absolutely a premier destination for an OC candidate. You get two established stars in Allen and Diggs, along with some up and coming players like Davis and Knox.

Buffalo03 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Frazier would be insane to go to Jacksonville. Granted, they have the QB but I would want no part of that mess. The Raiders have a lot of Talent but are so inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Nah. I think there are issues between McDermott and Daboll. I see Daboll going with Frazier and Dorsey taking over as our OC. That is, is Frazier gets a job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to find coaches who want to coach top 5 units than find players to fill out top five units. I look forward to the third rounders to add to the talent pool. Rex Ryan agrees.

I would figure being a defense minded fella he would want a guy that has play calling experience...of course never know what the behind the scenes dynamic is. Not that I disagree, but Dorsey is very much a hot commodity for potential OC and eventually HC given his experience and what those around him have spoken to. It’s likely we lose Dorsey before Daboll to either OC or HC down the road, but will be interesting to watch. I would think Dorsey the obligatory promotion should we lose Daboll in the off-season to any opening. I forget what thread it was on, but it was mentioned awhile back when Nagy was on the hot seat that a potential off-season where we lose Daboll would be an either promotion of Dorsey, bringing in Nagy as QB coach, or vice versa. Both of whom would help sustain Josh’s development and maintain dynamic offenses. On a personal front, I’d love to see what Nagy can do with a QB that has elite ability - same with Dorsey frankly. My hope though is that if we lose either Daboll/Frazier that we retain Dorsey and hopefully Hall on the offensive side of things.

Locomark Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I could see Frazier going to the Raiders. They have been one of the more progressive teams in hiring men of color in coaching and GM roles. Then if he did go there they need someone to maximize Carr so why wouldn’t he seek out promoting Dorsey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thriftygamer83 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 They ain't going anywhere, they know what it's going to be, ownership is always looking to ax guys, and will be looking at replacing various parts of their personal packages if they don't dumb it down for ownership understandings. Including players, members of staff, and developmental attaches. It's a bad fit all the way around and we'll honestly offer more to keep them.

If Dorsey goes before Daboll then Chad Hall becomes the obvious internal promotion when the time comes IMO. There isn't an obvious guy outside the organisation that I am mad keen on tbh.
