I'll take either one.

 

From what I heard, Frazier's contract was up this year, so they signed a 1 year extension or something of the sort if he might be done after next year.

I saw somewhere that that was a rumor that got shot down. His contract wasn't up. Maybe there is only one year left though.

I wish there was not a Carolina connection.  It really begs the question - are you only comfortable hiring guys you already know?

The answer is yes… as seen below…

You made the comment they have a tough time going out of their comfort zone/circle with the Carolina connection. You really want me to do this?

 

The Bills have 26 members listed under their coaching staff (not including McDermott)… Al Holcomb will be #27. 
 

These are the guys who crossed over in Carolina (6):

 

Ken Dorsey

Bobby Babich

Mike Shula 

Eric Washington

Matt Worswick

Al Holcomb

 

These are the guys who don’t have any Carolina connection (21): 

 

Leslie Frazier

Matthew Smiley

Rob Boras 

Joe Brady

John Butler

Joe Danna 

Chad Hall

Aaron Kromer 

Jaylon Finner

Austin Gund

Cory Harkey 

Marc Lubick

Kyle Shurmur 

Kelly Skipper

Ryan Wendell

Marcus West

Eric Ciano

Will Greenberg 

Hal Luther 

Nick Lacy

Jason Oszvart


Looking at the front office quick… they have 9 people with VP, Director or Assistant Director titles in football operations. 

 

No Carolina connection (9):

 

Jim Overdorf

Kevin Meganck

Brian Gaine

Terrance Gray

Malik Boyd

Matt Bazirgan

Lake Dawson

Chris Marrow

Curtus Rukavina 

 

So what? 36 people across coaching and football operations and 6 of them have ties to Carolina. 

 

Could also point to people like Dan Morgan (SEA), Joe Schoen (NYG) and Brian Daboll (NYG) as guys outside their comfort zone who were brought in to fill roles on the staff. There’s also David Culley, Bobby Johnson, Shea Tierney, Bob Babich, Jim Salgado, Danny Crossman and Heath Farwell.

Here’s the analogy folks …… Nate Hackett hired a senior assistant Hc or offensive senior assistant when he botched the first 3 games this year in Denver 

 

let that sink in
 

 

Here’s some analogies…. Bengals have a senior defensive assistant (Mark Duffner). Chiefs have a senior offensive assistant (Matt Nagy). 49ers have an assistant head coach (Anthony Lynn) and Game Management Specialist (August Mangin).

 

Positions like this aren’t uncommon. Let that sink in.

I mean ….. your head HC is a defensive coach. You don’t fire your DC….. so why hire a senior defensive coach????? It’s bizarre 

Don’t need a bandaid ! Need an overhaul !

This hiring is so embarrassing in so many ways I can't even comment anymore.  What the hell is McD thinking. Your DC has struggled in the playoffs.  He runs the exact same scheme using no adjustments ever. He doesn't have enough pass rush for this flawed scheme to even work. So let's turn to our beloved sister team for more random help that doesn't solve the problem. Is there a combo vomit-face palm-eye roll emoji?

yes and to be frank most head coaches are like this for right or wrong . Guys hire guys they know and trust more than the best guy
