BADOLBILZ Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 18 minutes ago, NoSaint said: If the league doesn’t think it’s lateral, all beane could do is hold all the position coaches back until a new OC is selected and makes the call on who he wants. which could get spicy I’m sure daboll has a few guys he’d like to bring with him. One of the spicy aspects is that what does it say about McDermott's relationship with his offensive coaches if they want to leave success, stability and Josh Allen to join Brian Daboll in a very difficult situation in NY? Let's face it.........that Giants team has a losing culture..........the talent isn't good enough.........the salary cap situation is awful........the odds of a previously thrice fired OC like Daboll making it past 3 years in NY, objectively, gotta' be less than 20%. Perhaps much less. Personally, as a Hurricanes fan I've never really warmed to Dorsey. He was a weak link on what many consider the greatest collection of talent a college football team has ever had.........he choked in the second national championship game against an inferior opponent.........he hasn't exactly torn it up as an NFL coach, he's basically relied on the goodness of his Carolina connections. The idea that me might turn his back on a promotion with McBeane. LOL. I was not at all thrilled about the prospect of him being the OC at the U.......let alone with the Bills. But all that being said........you never know until you see the guy actually calling plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Time to play the Rooney rule game.

Again, it's one assistant coach, and who knows what his motivation is?

Greatdane21 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I hope the Bills don’t sit back and let Shoen and Daboll gut there coaching staff. I know turnover is a highly normal occurrence in the NFL look at Andy Reid who seemingly has to replace coaches every year. While long-standing relationships are made it becomes who you trust in the long run. So who does McDermott and Beane know and trust who have they worked for and with. Personally I was thinking chuckys brother might be a fit ,former Washington coach and OC if they have to go outside the organization. If not promote Dorsey ,the assistant QB to QB coach and hire Webb as assistant QB coach. But it never seems to work that way in the crazy NFL.

SectionC3 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Gotta wonder why the contract w Dorsey wasn’t written to give the Bills the right to promote upon vacancy.

Estro Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I tend to think if Dorsey chooses the Giants over the Bills it probably had a lot to do with Daboll over McDermott.

Boatdrinks Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I venture that Daboll taking the Giants job gives the Bills a better shot at retaining / promoting Dorsey. Miami may have had a strong appeal. It’s now pretty simple. Stay and work with an elite QB while running and refining the Ehrhardt- Perkins system already established here. It seems Dorsey wants to be a HC , and this would probably get him inquiries after a couple seasons. If he goes to NY, he works with Jones ( or someone else) and runs the offense while still under his mentor who will get much of any credit because he’s an offensive HV. Working in Buffalo he’s under a defensive HC. If Josh wants Dorsey to stay, the Pegulas will probably pay him a hefty sum. My guess is Dorsey stays if the Bills want him to.

zow2 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 We should just go after Bieniamy. Yeah i bet KC has him locked down from taking a lateral move, but the guy just can’t get out from under Andy Reid. Maybe Beane can swoop in and work some magic. Make him Asst head coach for offense or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) The importance of keeping Josh in the same offensive system cannot be overstated.

DCBongo Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I would think he stays in Buffalo. Josh and Dorsey have a great relationship, Josh said in his end of year presser he would want Dorsey is Daboll left. Plus Dorsey knows what he has and what they can and can't do. He also knows what is needed. Designing the playbook will be that much easier when you know the players as well as he does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not necessarily talking about just Dorsey............Josh has said he wanted Dorsey to stay and has been extremely complimentary.........and McDermott brought Dorsey in after he ended up at a relatively low level college job after the Panthers sh*t canned him(along with OC Mike Shula) after Cam Newton struggled for a couple years under his tutelage.
