The #Bills are starting their offensive coordinator search in earnest, and interim OC Joe Brady will interview for the full-time job, per source. Brady acquitted himself well over nine games as the play caller, and Josh Allen has vouched for him getting the job.

[Einstein]

Glad they are leaving no stone unturned.

[PayDaBill$]

Are they required to interview?

[Warcodered]

It'll probably be Brady, but I hope they get a good look at offensive minds around the league.

Yes Rooney rule.

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Any guesses who the outside candidates will be?

I heard Kellen Moore is available, that’s not a bad look.

Josh vouched for Dorsey too, and that didn’t go so well, it’s good to get his opinion of course, but he should not be the deciding factor for who gets the job, jmo. 

[Special K]

I’m sure it will be Brady, but I doubt there would be a shortage of candidates who would want to be Josh Allen’s OC.

Exactly. He’s such a nice guy that he’d have a hard time bus-rolling someone.

Alex Van Pelt may be?

Kelly Skipper (current RB Coach) may be?

Dan Orlovsky (I keed) 

 

 

 

[Back2Buff]

Am I the only one that doesn't want Brady?  I was fine with giving him an opportunity, but the passing game was really bad under him.  Like it takes a special coordinator to see that big of a drop off in Diggs.  Brady's only solution to Diggs was screen passes.  Is that the coordinator you want?

 

He was fired in Carolina.

 

He gets way too much credit for that LSU offense.  He wasn't even the sole OC.   He was so new in the position, my guess he was more of a coffee runner at LSU.

[GETTOTHE50]

Brady did a fine job considering the circumstances. He developed the run game and established a bonafide threat with Cook. 
 

Im ok with him for one more year.

Cook had one great game versus a very flawed Dallas D.  You could actually argue that Cook was better with Dorsey overall.

 

Cook's last three games of regular season were some of the worst games of the season.

[MrEpsYtown]

I hope they interview: 

 

Joe Brady

Kliff Kingsbury

Kellen Moore

Arthur Smith

Zac Robinson

Brian Johnson

Mike LaFluer

 

Kingsbury would be my top choice. If you want change, you take a demanding prick and put him in the building. He is not a yes man. 

[SoonerBillsFan]

I appreciate what Brady did, but we need to  truly do this in earnest.   I would rather have somone with a more proven track record that can scheme guys open better. 

 

I would really like  a version of the WCO like Rogers had where he tossed a lot of TD's while throwing less than 10 ints's per season from 2011 -2021. 

[Low Positive]

They interviewed Tee Martin last time, who is Lamar's QB coach. They should talk to him again.

[CaptnCoke11]

I think there’s some better options out there than Brady but will McDermott make a change.  I just don’t see it happening.  

[BuffaloBillyG]

I think anyone that legitimately thinks the job isn't Brady's is fooling themselves. We will see a couple more candidates brought in to fill the Rooney Rule. Maybe one or two others to say "see it was a legit search" and the job will go to Brady.

Sounds like MCD will be all over him

Yep exactly! And that's the issue!

[Cheektowaga Chad]

I'd like to see them hire whoever has had the most success and a good amount of experience

 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I think Brady did great, but we need a total re-set. 

[JPL7]

Frank Reich??

Yeah it’s pretty much status quo here. This is an organization and coach that’s pretty happy with just Divisional Round appearances. 

Mr. Dunne, pleasure to see you here.

I actually think we will see BB in this type of role somewhere in the NFL.

 

 

 

 

By the way, the bills should understand that this is the absolute best OC opening in the league with Josh as QB. They can have the top pick.

Would some candidates balk at coming here because of working for McDermott?

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

I want them to hire the guy that is going to deliver a Super Bowl winning offense. That is all.

[KDIGGZ]

They will hire whoever will do whatever McDermott says (run the ball and play safe). That pawn will probably be Brady because he can be controlled 

[Coffeesforclosers]

So when are they calling Eric Bienemy?

 

If there's anybody out there who knows more about the Chiefs...

Are you saying you want Nate Hackett back?

If they hire Kingsbury, I’ll probably go out and buy a dog just so I can kick it.

Personally, I don't know what to think of Brady.  But I watch the year-end pressers and try to read between the lines, and I didn't hear a ringing endorsement of Brady from McDermott.  Made me think he is not a lock.  

 

Any hot, up and coming guy would love to have a chance to call plays for Josh.  I wonder if coordinators like working for McDermott. 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

OC for the Bills is actually a REALLY good spot. I think guys will come out of the woodwork.

But he has really good hair and a hot girlfriend. Isn't that what makes McVey great?
