buffaloaggie Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 1 hour ago, inthebuff said: There's been speculation that Shoen will hire Daboll as the head coach who will be bringing in Buffalo FAs such as Mitchell Trubisky, Isaiah McKenzie, Matt Brieda, and Ryan Bates with him. I guess that depends on the cap money that the Giants would be able to free up. There's also speculation that Flores is the lead candidate. Multiple sources have mentioned his name as wanting to interview and there's supposedly great interest on both sides. Flores is from Brooklyn, so it would be a bit of a homecoming. See if Schoen changes minds in New Jersey to look more at Daboll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm not doubting, I just want to see it) It was (obviously) the Athletic. JB reported (I think shortly after the Colts debacle) that McKenzie lost his job in part because he was too casual with the ball in practice.

Alphadawg7 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 1 hour ago, LyndonvilleBill said: People keep saying McKenzie is small compared to Cole. I don't get it? He's 1/4 " shorter and about the same weight? Does a quarter inch make that much of a difference? I didn’t say he is small compared to Beasley. I said because he is small he is going to need to be able to beat people on his routes if he wants to replace Beasley effectively. I said Cole is an elite route runner with exceptional hands. He is small too, but he excels because of those two attributes. Not to mention, Cole is pretty tough when it comes to YAC and getting that third down conversion. So again, if McKenzie wants to excel as a starting slot WR like Cole, and be a focal point of an offense, he is going to need to excel at winning his routes and having good hands like Cole has done. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are homegrown towns, but the re-signing of White, Milano and Allen were very good signs. These three were guys that we historically would’ve had far greater risk of losing, and in the case of Tre and Milano, would have most definitely lost. We didn’t have much money to spend and we basically spent it on resigning guys below what they could have gotten on the open market…in addition when we did have money Mitch Morse who was the top free agent center signed with Buffalo because of Josh….a winning culture and a franchise qb has many people wanting to sign with Buffalo this argument that no one wants to come to Buffalo is ridiculous and should be over already Edited January 21, 2022 by 78thealltimegreat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why people assume this hire puts Daboll in the drivers seat, but we really do not know anything about how Schoen feels about Daboll. I think it is a big leap to presume he is the favored candidate. I doubt Schoen would have been hired had he indicated in the interviews that he had his mind made up with out talking to any candidates.

Giving up a pick that could become a starting OL or WR in a year or two and then paying $7.2M next year for a guy who averaged 3.5 ypc this year and missed most of the previous year would not be cool by any definition. Barkley is less than worthless..........he would cost the Giants draft capital to trade. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Congrats to Joe. I hate to lose him but he’s earned the opportunity. I just hope he doesn’t poach too many people from the Bills. I could also see him having a # of the same targets in the draft as the Bills this year. Giants pick ahead of us in every round so it could be frustrating for Beane. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy thing is, we have guys in house that can take over for Schoen. I know he's been a big part of things behind the scenes. Guys like Malik Boyd, Lake Dawson, Terrance Gray and Brian Gaine are more than capable. We'd just be back filling one of their positions... probably even elevating Curtis Rukavina to replace who is promoted. Weird… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure teams will try and poach Dorsey, but he may want to stay if offered OC. Maybe that was part of the deal, we give you permission to hire Schoen, but you need to take Star in a trade so we get rid of his contract!

This is definitely possible, different conferences and both are likely to have a good idea of how the other sees things. With the Giants likely rebuilding if Beane sees an opportunity to do something that would work with two teams in two very different modes.

If the Bills win, there’s a quick turnaround for game planning. I’ve heard these interviews can be 4-6 hours long for HC. That said, you’d have to assume that some of this may be performative for Shoen and both are already penciled in for a second interview a week or two from now.

They already signed his fifth year option, isn't that guaranteed? Also he'll be two years off an acl. Think he's gonna have a huge year. He's also being paid as a top 10 rb in the league on his fifth year option. I think JA is somewhere around the 20th or so at qb...Baker is in that ballpark as well I believe. Moral of the story, don't draft a rb that early. Second moral of the story. If you can get a potential top 2 rb at top 10 salary, and likely get the pick back that it cost to get him in two years as a comp pick...I think you do that deal, at least in a vacuum, obviously other resignings that need to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieEm Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) 8 hours ago, JohnNord said: Thought of this while listening to Brandon Beane’s press conference about Joe Schoen (by the way, Beane put him over like a million dollars) Am I correct, in assuming in was Ted Marchibroda signing with Indianapolis 31 years ago!?!?!? I know former Bills head coaches have gotten jobs after leaving Buffalo (Wade, Gregggggg, Mularkey, St, Doug), but I can’t remember a time when a current Bills OC or DC was hired by another team. In fact, outside of Daboll and Frazier, I believe that only assistants to even get looks were Ted Cottrell and Jerry Gray…. maybe Elijah Pitts? Still, if I’m correct that’s a pretty damning statistic given the state of the franchise over the past 3 decades before McDermott. The logical solution is when teams fail to make the playoffs if the HC does take the fall, the coordinators do. There probably wasn’t one who was successful enough to keep his job Also, out of the 4 consecutive Super Bowl trips, how was Marchibroda the only assistant to get a head coaching gig? And also outside of Brian Gaine in 2018 and now Schoen, I don’t think the Bills have had someone from the front office leave GM. Bill Polian became GM in Carolina then GM in Indy and won a SB with Peyton Manning. I believe the biggest reason for the drought was Ralph firing Polian. If he was still bringing in draft talent maybe we would have drafted Peyton since Polian drafted him for the Colts. And then maybe NE never dominates for 2 decades. Maybe Peyton/Brady in same division their h2h games mirror Kelly/Marino. Change a few things we avoid the drought.

Matter of fact, I had already emotionally moved on from Milano, grieved his loss, had begun to attend support groups for those coping with the death of a loved one, because I KNEW there was no way we'd re-sign him. When I got the text message notification that we had re-signed Milano, I literally lost my cookies. I was ecstatic, but even more so, I was befuddled. And not only did we re-sign him, he gave us a hometown discount!
