DrDawkinstein Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I actually thought we might name him Interim HC if Terry cleaned house this morning. Shula has enough experience to be interim CEO and handle the details. Brady to OC Bobby Babich to DC Oh well, at least we got Dorsey out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 This is an interesting topic because all teams have these guys with ambiguous titles on their staffs. In fact, the Bills have few of them compared to other teams. The Ravens have two guys with the title "Senior Football Analysit/Gameplaning." They also have two "coaching analysts." Also, did you know that Bills' fan favorite Brian Cox is the Assistant Defensive Line Coach for the NY Giants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Maybe Shula is part of the reason Dorsey was fired. Maybe Dorsey wasn't taking input from Shula (or Brady). So maybe McD fired Dorsey for more than what we were all seeing on the field. Maybe Shula, Brady, and others mentioned their frustrations with Dorsey to McD. We don't know.

I actually thought he could get the OC, has had several good seasons with different QBs. I’m surprised it wasn’t him getting OC too since McD is very familiar with him. Though aside from Cam’s psycho 2015 season where the offense was ranked first in points for, he never had another top 10 offense in 10 other seasons as an NFL OC. I’m not sure Brady is going to be too successful bc he was bad with Carolina but maybe he has untapped potential. His LSU offense was amazing but it had Joe Burrow and the two best receivers in the NFL (Chase and Jefferson) so that made life much easier lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB play is usually the big factor. Brady i felt was originally brought in as the potential dorsey replacement if things went well enough that he got head coaching interviews. He now gets a trial run as the season has shifted into preservation mode. I think his role is helping design plays and the playbook, implementing plays within the walkthrough that you want to use, etc. So i don't think he's doing a very good job at the moment, but we don't really know whats going on there so its all speculative.

But I do think both contributed. If McD thought that Dorsey was doing everything right and getting the most out of the flawed offensive roster, Dorsey probably would not have been fired. I'm guessing that McD sees it differently. Dorsey was doing something wrong behind the scenes. Maybe bad relationships with players. Maybe not coaching Josh hard enough. Maybe not taking input from Shula and Brady. Maybe not following McD's guidance... I do think the decline of the offense's performance was the main reason. But I think McD saw/heard other things that made him lose faith in Dorsey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
