Blank Stare Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 That Chiefs kick off cost him. You aren’t cutting Bass to make a point (nor should they), so the ST coach is the fall guy. As long as they don’t drag Danny Crossman back here, I’m good with it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably hanging out with John Wendling Also, F Bobby April. His insistence that he has 12 STers and no backup defenders meant putting guys on IR in week 3 so we could sign someone off the street to start at LB. He was given way too much power and made the team worse Edited February 9, 2022 by Captain Hindsight 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I'd the reports about the kickoff were true the Bills didn't have a choice but to let him go. No way you can keep him after that all time bad blunder.l, no matter how good of a coach he is. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Bass went rogue. He didn’t know what the call was and it’s been speculated that Farwell couldn’t or didn’t get it to him for whatever reason. I think the coach is more accountable than the player in that situation 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Matt Smiley has been an Assistant ST coach since 2013 and with the Bills since 2017. Maybe it's time for him to get his shot. That is unless some proven ST coordinator is wanting to work for a winner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I bet his contract was up. I believe assistant coaches get two or three year deals typically, and maybe he just wasn't asked back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Good news IMO. Now we can dump all these ST only guys like Matekavich who probably wasn't going to be here anyway given his contract. 4 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNord Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 7 minutes ago, Process said: Was his contract up or did they fire him? It’s hard to say. Last month it was announced that Bobby Johnson was leaving. He wasn’t technically fired but his contract was expired. Considering that Farwell was also hired in 2019, it’s possible the same thing happened to him. Regardless, whatever happened in KC definitely had an affect on this decision 4 minutes ago, Process said: I'd the reports about the kickoff were true the Bills didn't have a choice but to let him go. No way you can keep him after that all time bad blunder.l, no matter how good of a coach he is. There’s some key details we don’t know. Was Farwell just so disorganized that he couldn’t get the call to Bass in time? Did he simply not double-check with Bass and assumed he was going to kick short? Or did Bass simply fail to execute a short kick? So many questions we will likely never know 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I mean overall I thought our ST have been pretty good, have done pretty well in punt/kick coverage and when McKenzie was actually making returns he was doing pretty well on average return yards.

Mark92 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Probably for the best. I am still not convinced Frazier should be the DC. That's where the fault in the Chefs game lies. The SP coach I can see because of the kick off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFBillsfan Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Maybe I’m in the minority but the defensive scheme the last 13 seconds is much worse than kicking the ball into the end zone especially with calling two timeouts and still screwing it up. If the ST coach is let go then the same criteria should apply to the DC. 3 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
