Part in parcel of this was Terry's goofy power structure where both people reported to him.  Remember, McD came first and then BB.  This is why the McD had to go and the front office was restructured and streamlined

It is not goofy and actually quite a few teams do that. Some prominant coaches don't want to report to a GM. Imagine Belichick in his hey days reporting to someone other than Kraft? Remember the Bill Cowher and Tom Donahoe saga in Pittsburgh?

 

There is already speculation raised that with Beane in charge, a well established coach won't like the structure and interview, like Harbaugh (who actually wrestled the power to himself in Giants negotiation). All signs point to a young first time HC.

Yeah, good point. Beane is top dog now, so HC will be subservient. But we can still get a talented up and comer. I just dont' want it to be Brady.

Joe Brady has been forced to make chicken salad from chicken feathers for 2+ years now and has done a pretty darn good job of it.  He had JaMarr Chase and Justin Jefferson at LSU...it's not like he doesn't know what a good receiver is.  A new HC isn't going suddenly help upgrade the position.  That's the GMs job, however now, we are not under control of the McD blueprint and shopping list

Pretty sure the power structure thing is fairly typical…I believe it’s what Harbaugh had in Baltimore and specifically what he asked for in ny

Scoring 38 outside in January is not going to happen in a divisional or championship round

If not for a bad pass to shakir at the end, we put up at least 34.  Let's not forget the knox miss at the end as well.

Because we already have the #1 rushing attack in the league, score 30 points per game, and just need a little bit better at receiver.  We don't need to uproot the whole system on that side of the ball to score a few more points.  We need a more reliable and more flexible defense.  I was saying it all year ... "Complementary Football" was the code word for the year to cover up the deficiencies in McD's antiquated defensive philosophy, that he was obsessed with.  It was more important to him to win with HIS defense, then to build and play defense to WIN.  It wasn't the offense that let us down in the biggest moments, it was the defense and it's outdated philosophy.  We couldn't get over the hump, because McD couldn't get past himself, and his Ego.  His whole coaching philosophy was married to his beloved defense, which always caved in the playoffs

And I spent like 4 yrs. calling for Frazier's head when it was McD all along.

Webb would be a Billsy move and a bad one. The man isn't even an OC on his current team and to turn around a lead an entire franchise would be detrimental imo. Ill take him as an OC for sure, but not as our HC.

She hasn’t reported any names yet but she says she will have them.

So it seems obvious that they were thinking about dropping McDermott if we didn't advance.  So why didn't they have that meeting already about discussing potential HC candidates?

Yeah Benny is pulling names out of his butt.

He's quoting guys that have ties to Beane as Brady, Weaver and Webb here in Buffalo and Everyone in Carolina.

Because I’m guessing most of the guys the Bills are interested in are still playing. Kubiak, Webb, LaFleur, Scheelhaase, Shula are all the hot names for non retreads and they’re all playing this weekend still

I think in order - this is my ranking of betting odds favorites:

 

1. Brady

2. Dabol

3. Kubiak

4. I’m intrigued with Weaver, but no.   Not another DC as first time head coach.  
 

 

I don’t think Webb either.  Has never called plays.

You might want to rethink number 1 based on todays info.

Until black Friday they didn't know who's be available if wanted someone with previous HC experience.

I dont want Webb for 2 reasons.

 

1. He is TOO close to Josh.  Best buds etc.  I am all about the QB liking the HC,but that is too close.

 

2. He has no OC/ playcalling exp. I would love for him to be QB coach and technical OC,while the HC is the playcaller
