I know a lot here don’t have a subscription to the Athletic so here’s how Joe Buscaglia analyzed the coaches.


While fans have wanted some changes after the bitter playoff exit, positional coaches aren’t likely what many had in mind. However, as of now, it appears both of the primary coordinators are poised to return in 2023.

 

Ken Dorsey:

The Bills offense has looked disjointed this season despite scoring points.  Dorsey will likely be back as he has support from Josh and Beane.  Also Beane talked about “year two” in his press conference which he otherwise would not do if there were plans to move on.  Looks like Dorsey is safe but if he’s back in 23, there is a ton of pressure to produce.    


Leslie Frazier:

Mentions there is heat on Frazier after the playoff loss, but that he was missing a key starter in Jones.  With injuries to Hyde, Miller and White, the Bills defense still finished 4th in DVOA.  
 

He also puts players in positions to be successful.  Unless he wants to retire, Frazier will be back for a 7th season.  
 

Joe Brady:

The Bills really like Brady but he’s been getting some OC calls which he may pursue.  If Brady comes back, he’s a prime candidate to take over for Dorsey.  
 

Aaron Kromer:

The Bills OL had a terrible year and it wouldn’t surprise Joe to see the Bills move on from Kromer. 
 

Bobby Babitch:

A future star in the building with DC potential.  If Frazier leaves he can see him taking over.  
 

Joe didn’t touch on any other coaches…

Not a surprise.

 

Kromer is one of the best o line coaches out there.  Get the guy some players.

To be fair though, he had the same starting 5 last season and they seemed to regress.  Not sure if that’s on him but our like played worse this season

Makes you wonder a bit why McVay asked him to leave the Rams a couple years ago. I'm not sure you ever "lose it" as an OL coach. Usually these guys are good for a while and from job to job.

Letting Saffold walk, would be a big step in the right direction.

Sounds like he hasnt heard anything but just making logical assumptions based on relationships

 

I would suspect if they werent coming back it would be official by now so they could try to get a gig elsewhere...

 

Unless Leslie is retiring anyway...

The chances of Leslie retiring or getting a HC job is basically 1%.

The season just ended Sunday.  It took a few week before the Bills fired… I mean before Heath Farwell left to coach Jacksonville.  So there’s still a chance
