Normally not a fan of seemingly automatic internal promotions...but this one I like. Bobby seems like a bright young coach that was likely to be a DC in 2025 if not sooner. Glad we are keeping him.

 

Let's see if McDermott gives him full duties and lets him call plays or if he keeps playcalling and brings Babich along slower.

Nice. McDermott can be an actual head coach this year, and if he fails again we have Ben Johnson lined up for next year. This is the most hopeful I've been about the future in a while.

Do we know if Babich will actually be calling plays?

Big win. Guess it can’t be that bad under McD since two in-demand coordinators opted to stay instead of leave. That doesn’t absolve McD of his shortcomings, but a few people who were super supportive of Daboll might realize that perhaps he was likely the catalyst for some of the coaching drama a few years back.

First off I love what this guy brings. BUT... dors he get 100% control over the defense including play calling.

 

He should. I hope Terry told Sean he needs to step back and just handle HC duties. 

 

The guy has worked his butt off amd earned this,congrats to him!

I am wondering how I can spin this into 14 negative threads. 

 

 “Whether it’s as DC calling plays or just the title, I would 100 percent approve and want Bobby Babich to earn that title,” former Bills center Eric Wood posted on social media. “Bobby is one of the smartest coaches I’ve been around. Incredible energy and one of the best developers of talent I’ve witnessed.”

Why should he immediately? He’s never called a defense before.

Also McDermott was elite in defensive playcalling this past season. 

 

Let this dude ramp up being owner of the defensive game plan, and then eventually take over playcalling

Terry isn’t telling McDermott anything when it comes to how he handles coaching responsibilities. And we can thank the good Lord for that.

I imagine McD will still be calling plays, and that's perfectly OK. The DC is essential throughout the week, not just on game day. And Bobby was a person that (I feel) was very important for the Bills to retain.

Now all we need to do is resign all of our free agents so we can run it back next year. 

Nah, just AJE, or really none of them. Time to reset the DE depth, you can't do much other than hope Von fully comes back next season. Otherwise the Bills are gonna have to be really creative with their blitzing
