beane gets fired and you are the new gm

[nuklz2594]

where do you start to get this team right? I am at a loss. 62 years old and am at a loss. bills fan for 50 years...

[LabattBlue]

Suck it up for 1-2 years and clear out the dead weight and associated dead cap hits.  From there, hope you strike gold in the draft and FA.

Fire mcdummy. He’s Marty Schottenhiemer. 2.0. Great regular season records but choked in the playoffs. 

[Gunsgoodtime]

Fire McDermott and his whole Carolina crew as soon as I walk in the door

[Simon]

Both coordinators are gone on day 1.

That probably solves half the Bills problems in 5 minutes.

We just lost to the Texans. He’s not that good in regular season. 

[Success]

There is probably a "glass half full" plan in here somewhere.  Oliver & Hoecht would be impactful, and will be back next year.  Bishop has become a revelation.  We have good CB's.  I think we need an overhaul at LB, but Shaq Thompson is a start. Groot isn't a star but he's a keeper.

 

On offense, the line is good, obviously Allen, Cook & Kincaid, and we have decent enough receivers if we get a true #1.

 

It might not be as tall an order as we think - or a full rebuild as some are starting to talk about. 

 

Tough times right now, though.

IDK about you, but first thing I'm doing as GM is coming to TwoBillsDrive and getting very sound advice on personnel and player decisions. 

[stlbills13]

First thing I'm doing is throwing up once I get a detailed look of our salary cap situation compared to the talent on the roster

You don't have to be the GM to do that. 

[FormerLV-BILLS]

Fire McDermott and get an offensive minded head coach that can maybe save what is left of a generational QB's career.  And for god's sakes, get him an arsenal that he deserves.

?????

I don’t understand this take. It’s a message board! We have differing opinions. Should be celebrated. Too many people like this. Accept mediocrity.

I believe there is a guy on the Seahawks staff who is GM material. I would look at him first. 

Then fire all coaches not named Kromer. 

Then see what the situation is at UNC and hire Belichick as Head coach. See if Matt Patricia is available as DC. If McDaniels is fired in Miami, hire him as OC.

McD will just replace them with 2 more jamokes already in the building.

 

Lather, rinse, repeat.  Or fire the guy already.  Time for the Bills to get off the McD treadmill.

I would love this. But it would probably never happen. We’ll just fire a coordinator and run it back with beane and mcdermott. 

[Uncle Stucky]

I’d re-hire Beane to be my assistant GM. Ask him to ignore the receiver problem because defense wins championships. 
 

Then I’d give either Babich or Brady the HC job because hiring from within is cheaper than looking for a competent coach. 
 

Promote a couple of assistant coaches i.e. LB, WR, Secondary, Special Teams….whatever, for OC and DC…again, hire from within. 
 

Then it’s off to the waiver wire….who can I get from Carolina.  
 

I would then scour the league and see who’s hot right now and try and build an organization to beat that one specific team, because that’s how football works.  
 

Then I start stacking Wild Card wins year over year, becoming the greatest second round out dynasty in the history of the NFL. 
 

Then I would rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful Buffalo

I had “sun rise” as one word but in the context of the sentence, it should be two words.

The crazy part about this is, if they followed more than a few posters on here as far as draft advice goes, we would be in a much better situation right now. I’m not saying that for myself, but quite a few posters. That’s really sad truthfully. So kudos to you guys.

[Low Positive]

There are a lot of obvious changes, but here's one I don't see a lot. I want a different offensive scheme with different verbiage. I want Josh Allen to spend the offseason learning a completely new playbook. That will present a challenge for him.

McDermott is the Marvin Lewis of Marty Schottenheimers.  So ready for his tired act to be gone.  Should've been fired after 13 seconds.
