Not carrying a play card didn’t hurt Zac Taylor get Bengals job or Hackett getting hired in Denver. So you think the failure of other coaches under Reid are causing the issue? I assume Eric calls plays also, but it seems like Reid is always calling plays in the high pressure times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think it is crazy the Eric hasn’t gotten a shot where all of these other assistant coaches with much less resume get all these jobs. Maybe Saints will be one for him.

John from Riverside Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It can be somewhere in the middle Brian d Might be a little bit abrasive but be a good coach it’s a whole other ball game though whenever you become a head coach and he’s about to find that out and he just lost his biggest resource Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading the Bieniemy thread and I guess there is some personal baggage he has to overcome too. Will be interesting to see what happens with him.

I don't know what's true, but people have said that Kafka (QB coach) drew up the game plan and Reid calls the plays 🤷♂️ The other problem Bieniemy has is his rap sheet as a college player and NFL player, continuing into his early career as a college coach (where he added a DUI) It would probably help Bieniemy's HC aspirations to take a lateral step to an OC position where he unambiguously does all the OC stuff, but hiring decision makers also look for HC from successful teams. So there's a risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the Nagy effect is hurting. I think that is true. It is also the things in Bieniemy's past and the fact he is apparently a "no BS" interview. That last factor was what stopped Bruce Arians getting a HC job all those years too. He didn't pander to owners and tell them what he thought they wanted to hear. I still say had Chuck Pagano never got sick then BA would never have got a shot. And then of course there is the race question. I don't know that is definitely playing a part but I don't know that it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live just outside Boulder here in Colorado and we all remember his college issues. What I do feel is minority coaches don’t get the benefit of the doubt for current set up, past performances and previous actions as white coaches do. Hell McCown might gets HC job in Houston without coaching a single game at any level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Sometimes coordinators leave because they had aspirations of landing the head coaching job and feel slighted when they don't get consideration. That may have had something to do with Jim Schwartz leaving the Bills for the Eagles a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Lol, as long as he drives our current DC away from Buffalo I’m good… 😁 LFs biggest failing is knowing when to be more aggressive, he certainly has done a reasonably good job outside of that, unfortunately those moments have cost the team dearly, chances of him leaving are small imo, so hopefully he and SM can have a meeting of the minds, so that they recognize when those moments are happening and implement an action to optimize a potential outcome. Go Bills!!! Edited February 5, 2022 by Don Otreply 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) 9 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Two. Bobby Johnson (OL to OL) and Shea Tierney (Assistant QBs to QB Coach). On a serious note (I didn't bite @JGMcD2, honest) losing Graham is a blow for them. He has done a good job there. But allegedly Wink Martindale was the DC name Daboll was giving this year at interviews it just so happened with the Giants that they had a guy in situ who Daboll had familiarity with. Surprised that the Ravens fired Gameshow in the first place, and more surprised he hasn't been snapped up yet. I'm guessing he has his choice of positions, but he could do worse than hitching his wagon to Dabollocks.

Graham interviewed Wednesday. If I were interviewed for a big promotion and didn't get it, I might well not care to stick around and report to the guy who got the step I wanted. I'd be like "Oh, OK Then, I see how you rate me" and I'd make plans to make tracks, even if it were a lateral move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Why are you worried about the Giants? Besides any time a new coach takes over some assistants will leave to work with friends elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it we got the extra 1st round pick in 83 because we traded his rights away?? Is that why I was thinking 83? Cousineau left Canada after the 1981 season, wanting to play in the NFL in 1982. He signed an offer sheet with Houston, but the Bills matched, since they maintained his rights because he had signed with another football league (unlike Bo Jackson a few years later who signed a baseball contract & went back into the draft the next year). They then traded Cousineau for multiple picks including the 14th pick in the 1st round of the 1983 draft used to select Jim Kelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deliberately didn't sign Cousineau so he could use that pick in the future to sign Kelly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
