gjv Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Frazier certainly has earned another opportunity to be a HC. However. on a selfish note, I would like him to stay as the Bills DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DapperCam Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Frazier would be a good choice for a team that is a hot mess and needs an adult running things. He could have been good for the Texans or Jax past years. I think the Bills defense would be fine without him. Maybe we would actually stop a 3rd and long every once in a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the bolded. The Bills are not going to be bad on defense while we have McDermott here, but I do think Frazier is one of the best DCs in football. They are big shoes to fill, though we do at least have Eric Washington on staff who has done it before (though wasn't super successful) with the Panthers.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) I think we have the most talent in the NFL on defense and I don’t even think anyone is close. We have so many stars on that side of the ball and our depth is incredible. We should be a defense that dominates and dictates. Even when the stats are good, it never feels that way. We have the personnel to be one of the all time defenses IMO. 85 bears, 00 Ravens etc. I want Fraizer to get a HC job so badly. This guys passive aggressive shell is holding us back in so many ways. I have wanted McDermott to just take over the defense for 3 years. If any team wants to hire this guy, I’m sure most Bills fans will be willing to give glowing references. Get him out please.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Frazier is definitely not HC material. He will be 2 or 3 years and out and back to being a DC. I hope they have Vegas odds on this because I would put 10,000$ down on it. 23 minutes ago, TheWeatherMan said: I think Ken Dorsey would make a way better HC IMO.

Bermuda Triangle Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 3 hours ago, GunnerBill said: You are not winning many road playoff games in this era with 19 points. That is the sad truth. The defense missed some chances to make plays that hurt, no question. But they were playing a top Quarterback on the road and gave up 22. I have a hard time pinning that loss on defense. The offense was not good that day, but allowing the opposing QB to complete 80% of his passes is just bad. 13 seconds aside, the defense was an abomination against KC in the preceding and subsequent drives. 1 hour ago, Brianmoorman4jesus said: I think we have the most talent in the NFL on defense and I don’t even think anyone is close.

Yea your problem is you don't like his style of defense. Well guess what, it isn't changing even if Frazier goes.

SoCal Deek Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Every time I’ve heard Frazier interviewed I’ve been super impressed by his demeanor and speaking ability (remember, it’s a job interview)…but I think his age will work against him. Most teams seem like they are looking for a younger coach to build around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the better defenses in the NFL in this era are the ones that keep the game in front of them and force teams to try and play mistake free football. In what way do you believe McDermott would be more aggressive? Let's talk Xs and Os. What do you think he would do if he was the DC on this team that Leslie Frazier doesn't?

C.Biscuit97 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 1 - it’s wild how much hate Frazier gets when we have constantly had top 5 defenses since his arrival. Obviously, McDermott is a huge reason why but Frazier also deserves credit. 2 - he seems like one of the nicest, most genuine guys in the nfl. I would love to play for him. However the only way I think he will be successful as a coach is to go to a team with an established QB: OC where he just needs to worry about the defense. Can’t see him doing good with a young QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) I like Frazier. Smart, intense, good with X's and O's. He checks every box for a HC: Speaks very well, and in a way that commands attention. Great with X's and O's Former player on an all-time great D. If not for suffering a devastating knee injury in the SB who knows how far he would have gone in terms of his playing career. I didn't realize how good his stats were (20 INT in 65 games) and how horrific his career ending knee injury was: ACL, PCL, MLC AND a broken bone in the knee?! Holy crap. Tons of experience in the league 2 SB rings, 1 as a player and 1 as a coach. He deserves another shot. He gets way too much flak from Bills fans. I just hope that he gets a real shot, and not the Texans job, which is a revolving door. Edited December 9, 2022 by TheFunPolice 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I think the biggest thing going against Frazier is his age, you also have to wonder why some of the worst franchises in the league have passed on him (i.e. texans twice in the last few years). But if he can get somehow get out of his comfort zone and have this defense playing dominant without Von Miller down the stretch and into the playoffs that's a different conversation. Just think that's asking too much for a guy whose mindset seems to be to run the same vanilla scheme over and over by just lining guys up and inviting the opposing offense to beat you, which seems to happen over and over when it matters most.

Eastport bills Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Nothing against Leslie but he’s not a slam dunk to be successful. He was underwhelming in Minn. and most of the latest hires are from the other side of the ball. He has been good with us but how much credit should go to Sean. I wouldn’t touch him I had a struggling franchise and I wanted to get competitive fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 The fact that the Bills are 4th in PPG allowed despite the absolutely INSANE rash of injuries to defensive players and having the second hardest strength of schedule, and that many Bills fans don't appreciate it, and still want Frazier gone...is just nuts to me. All I have to say is: Be careful what you wish for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I would be so uninspired if Fraser were hired as the new coach of my favorite NFL team. He would have been the typical hire of the 2001-2012 Bills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullim4 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I actually think Frazier round 2 would be a decent selection for a HC job. I think he's learned a lot during his time in Buffalo about how to build a winning culture and that's an underrated part of the role IMO. You're almost always going to a bad or mediocre team that needs a culture shift - and I think Leslie would be good at that. He'd need strong leadership on the offensive side of the ball though, and I kind of wonder if the plan on offense has always been a weak point in his previous interviews.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I honestly can’t stand the way Fraizer calls a defense . I have made that clear but that’s not going to be baked into my point here. Obviously i hope he gets a HC job because I think he holds back our defense a great deal but the truth is, he’s not getting a HC job. Teams are moving away from hiring older guys and they have been since moved away from hiring a defensive HC. An old DC that has already had a chance doesn’t really move the needle. I’d love to be wrong because I really want to see our defensive talent with a new voice….The guy seems like a real good guy, he’s done a good job stat wise since he’s been here and the players love him. The guy isn’t getting a HC job. Let’s just be real. The 49ers DC will have a real shot. Most openings will get filled by offensive minded younger guys and the rest will be a guy like Ryan’s. A younger guy that has an aggressive nature and can relate to the young players. Fraizer will get the lip service leading up to the off-season…he’ll get interviews…I seriously can’t see him getting hired as a HC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
