bigK14094 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 11 hours ago, Mikie2times said: Dorsey interviewed for a HC role last year. What’s your point? We haven’t hired a defensive coordinator because McD doesn’t trust somebody else to run “his” defense. We will keep Brady because McD has full control over him. We will not be a team that innovates because we won’t provide freedom to coaches to be independent. We will only employ those that will fall in line. It’s like New England but without the success. This is a serious problem. It reminds me of Rex Ryan who wanted his D his way. I guess the HC has that choice, and the results of McD's D is much better than Rex's. Still, it takes bandwidth away from the HC hat part of McD's job for him to be the DC. I think it is a real problem as no human as unlimited capacity.

ngbills Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Bills hire experienced coordinators - we have the best coordinators in the football. McD knows how to surround himself with excellent coaches. Bills have McD puppets as coordinators - we don’t need these awful retreads. They all suck. Our guys are up and comers and will all be head coaches in a few years.

The “ innovative” systems that actually led to SB wins are decades old. How about an exhaustive search? If it turns up nothing, fine. As is we are only doing what we are to satisfy the NFL. Meanwhile guys like Monken and Slowik were brought on last year and made massive impacts. Hell, even Bieniemy was available as a potential option. So who are those guys this year? I guess we won't know. Even better, we should be scared of the change right? God help us if somebody knocks us off our Wild Card perch.

Man with No Name Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 an interesting comment that struck me on the eagles board was that reid had jim johnson for most of his tenure there, and when he left, the wheels fell off. when pedersen had his great success, schwartz was there. and of course reid now with spagnuolo. . does mcdermott have his johnson or spagnuolo on the other side of the ball? nope he wants a puppet who he can control as an extension of his own limited decision making brain. A level coaches hire A level assistants. b level coaches hire c level assistants, so they can maintain control. but i don't know what's out there. is there a great candidate we should be hiring?

BarleyNY Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) 16 hours ago, Billl said: Was anyone pounding the table for Kellen Moore? FWIW I heard that Moore was Cleveland’s #1 choice for OC. Also Howie Roseman is probably the best GM in the league and he obviously wanted him too. However I would note that Andrew Berry, Cleveland’s GM, is a Roseman disciple so both being interested in the same guy for OC makes sense. Also Moore was the 5th ranked OC according to this season’s NFLPA survey. Edited January 28 by BarleyNY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks. I knew Chris when we both lived in Cleveland. He and his family are stellar people. I know it’s a cutthroat business, but he deserved better. I hope he gets to work for a decent owner at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 4 hours ago, BuffaloBillyG said: I think it's better than what they had, but I don't think they did that well bringing in Moore and Fangio. Dallas didn't seem to miss Moore last year. One could argue the offense was better without him and under McCarthy, of all people. Fangio is getting ancient. He's stuck in his ways and made several odd choices on his side of the ball where it came to playtime and duties. He almost refuses to adjust his system to fit players. Players were overjoyed to see him go. All in all, they got 2 "big names". How it will turn out is anyone's guess, but barring a deep playoff run, I think Sirianni is about done there. Moore has basically a top 5 offense 3 out of his 5 years in Dallas. He got killed by injuries this year in LA, especially Mike Williams. Fangio consistently has top 10 defenses and dealt with a bunch of injuries this year. i really struggle to understand why you won’t like this hires. I’d be real happy if the Bills hired guys with similar resumes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
