He’s a mess now for sure.  But pretend you’re the Pegulas.  For whom are they nuking Sean, who has a lengthy, rich contract and is another bill to pay (no pun) while fronting huge money for a stadium.  Unless Josh says him or me, they aren’t dumping him for just anyone.  Belichick is one of the only people I can think of for whom they might make the move. (I wouldn’t, FTR, but I’m

trying to think like them.)

i'd take just about anyone over Belichick at this point.  He's 72 years old.  He hasnt coached a winning season of football in 4 years.   If the requirements are a Super Bowl winning coach I'd prefer Gruden.  All that said, if you're dead set on bringing Daboll back just bring him back as the Head Coach.

That Giants job becomes really enticing now with an actual QB. One can only dream that the GM Bills ties could somehow convince McDermott to want it

McD oughta go to him with hat in hand and beg him to come back and fix Josh. And then get the F outta the way on offense. You coach the D, and let Daboll have complete autonomy on the offense. Including telling Beane to pull his head out of his ass and get me some weapons. 

So let me see if I can do this with voice to text on a windy day. 

 

Out of my afternoon walk...

So part of the reason of the fallout with McDermott goes all the way back to Rick Dennison coaching the offense when he insisted on putting Nathan Peterman in after the bills were struggling on offense. The players were against this because they practice with Peterman every day and new he was not better than Taylor. They were upset with this but still let it Go on because it was going to be the Chargers game. At halftime players were texting people about how pissed off they were and then find out that Peterman will start the second half in McDermott did not have the balls to stop at Denison. 

 

Fast forward to firing Denison and getting dabol. He was part of the McDermott process. Accountability. Brian dabol held players accountable and was very tough. 

 

After 13 seconds when Gable was in that whole mix he saw Sean take the play calling of the defense and do it himself from Frasier. Not only that the offense had done their part. The defense was more aligned with Frasier than they were mcdermott, at least some of the glue guys in most specifically Jerry Hughes. 

 

McDermott shows to fire the special teams coordinator after he had said to kick a squib and the special teams coordinator did not get that information to the whole team including Tyler. 

 

There were nearly brawls in the locker room after this.  The defense let down the offense, a theme that would recur the next year as Frazier continued to be the defensive coordinator which was nothing more than an intermediary to McDermott's defense. 

 

During that time McDermott hired Ken Dorsey to replace Dabol. The bills were struggling on offense and there was that players only meeting that supposedly happened but never confirmed. Well I can confirm it. The players met and the leaders from that meeting went to McDermott and asked to have Dorsey removed. They didn't get their wish. McDermott did nothing, as evidence by their lack of faith and effort put in against the Broncos on that miserable loss. The next day McDermott realized his hands were tied and he had to do something. 

 

Overtime the theme continues as McDermott gets guys that only trust his process, toe the line, and those that don't get moved. You'll end up with that Tyler dunne article which was 100% right 

 

And now the naysayers will claim the players admitted they won for coach. Yes, those are the guys he wants, the guys who buy into his program but too often we've seen he doesn't have the judgment, ability nor respect that he needs. 

 

You can't tell McD ***** 

[Chugga]

BRING HIM BACK PLEASE

[Dillenger4]

No thanks. It was sweet the day he left Buffalo and now you all want him back? LOL

 

[Virgil]

McD needs to swallow his pride, focus on the defense, fire Brady, and let Daboll do his thing on offense. 
 

It’s our only option to save the offense and this season

Not a huge Daboll fan but he did well here and was instrumental in getting Josh on the right track so aways hoped he would pan out wherever he went. 
 

Pretty raw deal for him there if I’m honest.

 

 

• The defense has been given everything to work with and they’re inconsistent. Not entirely his fault. 
• Losing your #1 guy in Nabers to a freak injury
• Losing a team leader and, from the looks of it, a decent RB in Skattebo
• Not keeping Saquon (Schoen is to blame there)

There’s probably behind the scenes stuff that has accentuated the problems but the future of that franchise isn’t abysmal… 

Yea I'm honestly shocked they did it now considering they have a rookie QB who seemingly has been playing well. 

 

Can't keep blowing double digit leads though, which the Giants have done a lot. 

[zow2]

They are saying on TV the Miami Dolphins will look into him for their new head coach after the season.  The Bills need to jump in front of them.

I’m not arguing with you.  Just thinking like them.  I want Daboll back here.  We need a new voice, and someone whom Josh respects.  McD is not going to win a Super Bowl here.  Maybe somewhere else, and maybe we regret moving on.  But it’s not happening here, and I’d rather not squander the rest of Josh’s career with the crapfest we’ve seen the last month. 

[BillsFan130]

I would love for this to happen even as a passing game coordinator but...

 

Put ourselves in Brian Dabolls shoes. 
 

Hes probably emotionally drained and will most likely take the rest of the season off

Weird time to fire him. Management (Schoen) and Daboll seemed to agree that Wilson was the bridge QB. It failed miserably. And the Giants now show signs of life with Dart turning in a surprisingly good rookie year. I guess Schoen can't fire himself.

The Dolphins better look into a Quarterback as well, otherwise they will be the next team to fire Daboll.

[BananaB]

Daboll will never want to work for McD again and McD would never want to hire him. McD wants puppets

In a dream world, he would be here tomorrow. Taking over the offense. Stopping the nonsense WR screens. Running more PA.

 

But alas, McDermott wouldn’t allow it.

Even more reason for Terry to force it on McDermott 

 

The HC has not had his team ready to play in numerous games this year and he's on the hook for both of the hires of coordinators that are both busts

 

Send the message that his seat is hot and that he doesn't get to reject the addition of Daboll to the team in whatever capacity he and the team decide on

I think it kind of hurts his case that he didn't get much out of Daniel Jones and now in Indy he's balling out 

 

Also the manic nature of this board never ceases to amaze me. "Stop bringing back people from the past. We don't have time to revisit the past"

 

Daboll fired.

 

Same people: "BRING HIM BAAAAAACKKKK"

 

Recency bias never ceases to amaze me. People forgot how frustrating Daboll was when he was here too.

Please don’t focus on the defense. Please fire himself from the room. His ideas are worthless. Please go play madden with some 13 years olds and learn some common sense game management. It’s year 9, you probably should learn how to use timeouts and challenges at some point. Please remove him from the defense. I want him to be a HC for appearances only. He brings nothing positive to the table

They choked away a couple huge leads and Daboll seems to be actively trying to get his promising qb killed.  He’s also done some sketchy stuff with injuries/concussion protocol

I could get on board with Daboll as HC if he brings strong coordinators on both sides with him

[GoBills808]

don't want Daboll back at all
