Who should coach this team in 2024?

Joe Brady. 
 

If this continues he’s the only choice.  
 

He just dumped all over the Jets D and the Eagles D on the road and Allen is “back.”

 

We could already be sitting on our McVay. 
 

Been thinking about this all day. 
 

IF this continues on offense it’s him.   
 

ZERO risk bringing in the unfamiliar outsider.  
 

We could have our guy right now.

If he and the Bills offense has another strong performance against a good Chiefs defense in Arrowhead, then you may be on to something here.

At this point, anyone 

 

I am open to offers.   😋

 

But we are not the Browns. There I might be able to talk my way into a contract. But they are doing well, given the big picture. The BIGGER picture says they still have the same owner. 

 

I do NOT want Harbaugh as half of what you hear is where he might go next. He’s intense and I think his act will only last so long with grown men. I am curious about Slowik mentioned by Kirby. It’s always a leap, and there are no sure things. That is a fact. Fingers crossed, regardless of direction.

HC Bobby Slowik, current OC with Houston

OC Joe Brady

Asst HC/DC  Mike Macdonald, DC of Ravens.

 

I think this would be a good mix (Brady's knowledge of Allen, Slowik's use of Stroud, and a solid defensive mind from the Ravens tree)

 

I think having Slowik as HC and giving Macdonald the Asst HC title with a little more pay to run the Defense increases his likelihood of becoming a HC in 2 years after bringing some of the creativity and toughness of a Ravens philosophy.

Maybe that’s the one spot this guy would actually go back to. I have felt all along no shot McDermott gets fired. He fixed too much. The leaving would have to be mutual or him leaving. Maybe he would leave to go to Carolina. It’s going to become miserable for McDermott here because he lost the fans and he’s going to lose the team.

Don’t be so sure McD isn’t shown the door. As has been pointed out, the team is heading into a new stadium with a new ticket pricing structure and PSL’s. McD staying put as HC after a home playoff loss followed by a non playoff campaign isn’t going to help drive sales .

McDermott is absolutely not the answer. He’s a loser that always loses. If McDermott is fired, it’ll be one of the most desirable jobs available. If you were Terry Pegula, who would you hire? 
 

I’m in record that I’d fire McDermott in the morning and hand Brady the keys. I’d give him a 6 week audition. If it doesn’t work, I’d probably hire Bobby Slowik. Ben Johnson would be my 2nd option. 


In on record that Kirby would be GM with the success rate of Buddy Nix

McDermott will keep his job if he wins at least 4 out of the remaining 5 games,  anything less and he is gone.  The thing any football consultants would advise Pegula is if he wants a top coach then his best opportunity is now when Allen is still young and his prime. The Bills HC job will be the hottest job available because of Allen in his prime.  He can't wait years for Mcdermott to figure it out,  Allen's prime years are next 4-5 seasons

 

As for McDermott,  he have proven he can rebuild a team and get them to the playoffs. So I could see him mutually agreeing to part ways if he thinks he can get the Panthers HC job. It could work out for both parties because Terry would need to pay a portion of his salary and Panthers are already paying two other fired HC'S .

This is unrealistic.  If a new HC is brought in, he will bring in his own OC.  As to MacDonald...Ravens won't let him go for a lateral position.  They'll simply add asst HC to his title in Baltimore.

It’s right up there with “he’s a loser that always loses”

That’s what he does!! 2-6 in 1 score games and 9-15 in 1 score games over the last 3 years!! That’s nearly impossible for a team with the Bills winning percentage.
 

It’s cool that you’re fine wasting Josh Allen’s prime with “Mick Jauron” (trademark pending) blowing late leads. I’m on record that I would have canned him and went after Sean Payton. I’d be looking at Executive of the Year with that foresight.

Yeah like most of the projections on this forum, this is completely unrealistic.  
 

First off, given his background, if Bobby Slowick is hired as HC, he isn’t going to keep the incumbent OC and will call the plays himself.  That would be like Rex Ryan keeping Jim Schwartz in 2015.  It was never going to happen.   He’d be more likely to bring a position coach from Houston/SF to be his quasi OC in title.

 

Second if you are Joe Brady who (unless he falls off a cliff) will likely have some success as a play caller this season.  Why would he want a situation where he wouldn’t actually be calling plays.

 

Third, as you stated it makes zero sense for MacDonald to take a lateral move and even if he wanted to Baltimore would not allow it

Trading draft picks for a coach is always a bad move, Buddy.

I'd say Bienemy has to be in the mix more so this go around for HC positions. Away from Andy Reid, he has turned the average at best Washington offense into a top 10 unit. He has Sam Howell leading the NFL in passing yards currently. Sam Howell. Not Patrick Mahomes, not some other upper echelon QB, but Sam....Howell. If they had an OL, they might actually be making some noise right now. I think Bienemy has proven that he knows what he's doing and it wasn't all Andy, or at least that he definitely learned from Andy. I think he could do some great things with Allen as his QB and with the offense, but I don't know what kind of staff he would put together or what it might look like. I'm not saying this is the way I would definitely want us to go. But if we were to go with an offensive minded HC, it wouldn't have me up in arms if we did.

I would go with McD as HC next season and try to find a good DC .  Reich as QB coach. Put a new DC up in the booth next to Brady to get an overall view. Key injuries this year don't help.

I just puked

You make great points about Bienemy, but I don’t think Washington lets him leave the building.
