Sierra Foothills Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 18 minutes ago, Billy Claude said: Of course this does not say much for McDermott ability to pick coaches since he supposedly wanted Mike McCoy who did not even last a season as OC at his next two stops. I had heard that McDermott wanted to hire Daboll in 2017 but Daboll wanted the Alabama job. Regardless, like Hondo says, a first time Head Coach doesn't always have the stability, track record, and credibility to hire their first choices. On balance it seems the Bills have evolved into a pretty solid coaching staff. For one thing it's pretty amazing the Bills have 4 former OCs on their staff under Dorsey. That's a lot of expertise.

I don't remember any talk about Daboll in 2017 but definitely agree that well known assistants don't want to work for first time head coaches since there is a high likelihood that those first time coaches will not last very long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 The most impressive thing to me this pre-season? Not once has Cody Ford been mentioned by the announcers.. that’s a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Daboll coached at William and Mary in the late 90s when McDermott was a senior there and they had maintained their friendship since then. The story I heard was that Daboll wanted the Bama job because he thought working with Saban would be better for his aspirations as a head coach. A bit ironic then that he ended up taking the Bills OC job and parlayed that into becoming a head coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do appreciate you posting the highlights of their writer’s opinions though. I don't begrudge anyone that doesn't subscribe to the Athletic, but as a subscriber I have to say it is very much worth the price. There is better content offered there than on most of the free content. Just my opinion of course. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Been saying it since it was announced — “allowing” Bobby Johnson to leave with Daboll and signing Beach Chairs was the biggest move of the offseason. I’m not sure enough people realize how awful Johnson was/is, and how much a good coach can help an OL. I also didn’t “predict” Cody Ford would make the team, but I definitely said it wouldn’t surprise me. Anyone watch any of the Giants game last night? Their OL is trash.

hemma Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Kind of puts a pin in any trade of Ford to the Giants. I think he’s staying anyway, we need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
