glazeduck Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Hey all, as my name indicates, I'm also an Oregon Duck fan. Just passing along that Oregon's top "insider", Justin Hopkins, mentioned this week that Joe Brady was his bet -- and likely Dan Lanning's first call -- for the Ducks' open OC spot. Brady and Lanning have a good relationship and the thinking is he'd basically be the perfect candidate and also had at least some interest in the job. Separately, there's smoke that *a* hire could happen anytime now (in terms of general timeline/timeframe), and it stands to reason (my speculation) that the optimal timing for a change like this to happen this late in the season would be during a mini-bye week (aka tonight or tomorrow morning). So like I said, may be something, may be nothing, but our QB coach is getting interest from the college ranks, at the very least. Go Bills! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always hate how they abandon the kids they demanded loyalty and respect from to be coached by an assistant in a bowl game. It especially sucked when Brian Kelly left UC for ND and the Bearcats were coached by an interim in the Sugar Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be hired anytime but would join them after the Bills season. Signing day is in a few weeks, their 2023 recruiting is mostly done.

And I don't think the suggestion is that he's going to be able to pull kids Oregon wouldn't have otherwise, but the difference in recruiting between not having an OC and having a superstar OC (or one you could at least sell as such) is massive.

The Bills don’t need to let him out of his contract in the middle of their season. They don’t need Oregon’s $ on a buyout. Oregon can hire him and he can be their new oc but he 100% doesn’t need to leave before February for the recruits to be told that he’s coming.

GunnerBill Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 If Brady ever wants to be an NFL OC again leaving in-season would be a bad move. That would do nothing for his reputation in the league. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhule was/is a joke but Brady wasn’t ready to run an NFL scheme. Bridgewater pointed it out after they tried to make him the scapegoat for the first season’s offensive stumbles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserved to be fired. Regardless of Rhule's missteps. Think it just came too soon for him. He had one great year with LSU and went from NFL quality control the year before to NFL OC the year after. Taking a step back and learning more was the right move for him. I don't necessarily think Oregon would be a bad next step. But doing it before the season ends would burn some NFL bridges for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general college coach hiring usually doesn’t occur until early January. at this time of year some new college head coaches get hired between this week and the bowls but they don’t fill out their staff till mid January 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the Bills let the contract be bought out? 2. If he left during the season, he'd never work in the NFL again. Whoever has 'that line of thinking' is an idiot.

BADOLBILZ Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 3 hours ago, glazeduck said: FWIW, the line of thinking is that he WOULD leave right away, since recruiting is heating up right now. Yeah but he could have had the U of Miami OC job last winter for similar money. And he's from South Florida. The reported reason he wasn't interested is that he hates recruiting. So I'd expect any college OC job he takes to stipulate that he have to do very little recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Junction Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 This team is a bit insulated due to having Shula on the staff. They could also hire Reich into Shula’s role as insurance against Dorsey getting a HC offer as well. As it is though I believe Brady is being groomed to take over for Dorsey, so we’ll see how it plays out. QBs help to make OCs and Allen’s already played well enough to help get Daboll a promotion.
