Who do we want, who do we need as our next OC/DC?

As others have said 

 

Mike McDaniel 

Alex Tanney

Mike Kaufka

 

Bills need to transition to a WC offense for the 2nd half of Josh's career and move away from EP

 

Defense is a lost cause because McDermott will micromanage whoever is DC and no competent DC will want to work with that. It will be an internal hire only

Study up on the WCO. It's a timing offense and it's kinda what we want Josh to do now and many will tell you that's not letting Josh be Josh.

All I know is I want Brian Flores as our next HC.  He was the best HC Miami had since Shula who got more out of his rosters than most do.  Pair him with an innovative OC and pick his DC. He got such a raw deal in Miami its stunning he isn't a HC again already.  

 

I would also be open to BB and Josh McDaniels combo - not sure McDaniels leaves NE for anyone but BB at this point, if he would even do that given the upstart Pats and young stud QB.  

 

If nothing else, it would be very entertaining to watch Belichick and Vrabel coaching against each other in the AFC East.

Marcus Brady was a hot name a few years ago. Kinda gone sideways for him since.

 

In what way had Marcus Brady's stock diminished?

 

Before the spate of significant injuries, the Chargers' offense and Justin Herbert were playing very well.

I liked Waldron as a candidate last time based on his work with Geno in Seattle. But it was an unmitigated disaster in Chicago. With a QB who doesn't play a traditional drop back pocket game. Now obviously Josh >>>>>>>> Caleb. But I think he is off my list for now.

 

Whatever happened to the Bears under Matt Eberflus, I don't think you can blame Waldron.

 

The Bears were 4-5 when he was fired and went 1-7 the rest of the way.

 

In the case of both of these coaches, I think you have to look beyond any perceived blemishes and drill down to find their true value.

Might not be popular, but if Zac Taylor gets fired he would be a good candidate.

I respected his actions in the Damar Hamlin game when he agreed to call the game with his team leading, 7-3.

 

There's no good reason not to like Taylor that I can think of.

If either Mike McDaniel or Kevin Stefanski is fired during the offseason, I would be thrilled with either as OC.

 

For DC, it’s got to be someone from outside the organization.  Maybe Stefanski can bring Schwartz along.

 

if you want to play some real 3D chess, fire McDermott and hire Josh McDaniel. It gives Josh Allen a real OC and sets NE back.

This idea is horrendous JMD is a terrible terrible no good awful head coach at both stops he’s ever been in.

I hate seeing this thread title. Wish it would get merged. Any part of McBeane not taking the fall, FINALLY for a season we should’ve been the 1 seed I want no part of. But hey they got Brandin Cooks!

lol can we please stop w this

 

if the FO went to Allen and said they were considering Slobodan Milosevic for OC he'd be right on board

I hope not. Serbia had a horrible offense.
