teef Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 a lot of the time these are superficial zoom meetings to see if they should go into the multiple day interviews, ( as is my understanding). this happens every year. i don't think there's much concern there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why it’s being done this weekend is because his work for the week is already done-they have installed plays, they have done the film work, all if that’s taken care of. If he’s going to interview for a job Saturday is actually a really good day for him to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Personally, I am a bit surprised he’s already getting interviews for head coaching positions. I think they would be dumb to hire Ken Dorsey as a head coach right now. He’s still just learning how to be a good offensive coordinator ffs. I don’t think he’s anywhere near ready to be a head coach. (and I’m not just saying this because I hope to keep him or something) But I guess Carolina (and Dan Morgan) has familiarity with him, which seems to be of great importance to NFL teams. 🤷♂️ 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 People like to make a big deal about the timing, but i think this stuff happens every year. I really don't think it affects gameday prep. I'd like to see the last decade of Super Bowl winning teams and who on those staffs were interviewed during their playoff runs. I'm sure there was more than a few.

These are billion dollar franchises in a bottom line business. People like to hire someone they know they can work with, that has a certain personality and that they are familiar with personally. The wrong hire could cost a Dan Morgan or whomever their job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPL Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 There's an unwritten rule that teams have to interview at least one mentally unstable candidate. The Panthers are just conducting this interview to ensure the league doesn't launch an unofficial investigation into their hiring practices. There has been conversation in some circles about naming this unwritten rule the "Dorsey Rule." 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I wish the NFL would implement a rule that no coaching interviews until the season concludes.

The Panthers are being much better about this than the Giants were with Daboll last year. All of the game planning and offensive install is long done by Saturday. And judging from the offensive performance in KC last year, I don't think that the interviews hurt Daboll's preparations at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO interviews until a team's season is over Under the old rules it was not allowed. Coaches complained it was costing them opportunities to move up. A new HC needs to assemble a staff. That’s a lot harder to do the longer a candidates team remains in the playoffs. Good assistants get hired by other new HC’s. The rule was changed as coaches were being punished for their team’s success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I hope he gets the job so we can get a more seasoned OC, hopefully one that understands how to consistently incorporate the run game and also scheme receivers open. Dorsey isn't a disaster, he has done a decent job in his first season as an OC. But he still has weak spots like in game adjustments, poor redzone play calling, lack of consistency in using our running backs, and lack of creativity by not scheming guys open more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take on Dorsey is as an ex QB he's too enamored with the pass. So not sure I'd want to grab another ex QB for OC position. That may have been the advantage of Daboll, not being an ex player.

Beast Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Good. Nothing like a good post season on offense to boost his chances. Not that he wouldn’t be focused to begin with but Dorsey now has an extra incentive for the Bills offense to be humming.

I know that, but they should have a coach hiring season right after the Super Bowl. That would be a massive media event that would keep the NFL relevant for just about the only period when people stop paying attention to the league. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Two things: 1.) The Bills -- rightly, in my opinion -- proposed a rule in recent years to disallow this type of thing. They proposed that all head coaching interviews should be held until after the Super Bowl. It was a logical, reasonable proposal, and it should have passed, but it didn't. 2.) Have to think "the hay is in the barn" by Saturday. That is to say, by that point, the gameplan is surely drawn up, the meetings have been held, etc. That said, the preparation and mental energy one theoretically has to expend in order to be ready for such an important interview seems notable, and that leads us back to point one. Unfortunately, this type of thing still IS allowed at the moment, and as long as the Bills continue to be one of the NFL's best teams year in and year out, it's going to keep happening and we just have to live with it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
