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. 1 Quote

billsherd Posted January 20 Posted January 20 We should start hearing interview request reports after the press conference with Pegula and Beane. 1 Quote

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 20 Posted January 20 6 hours ago, drummernut74 said: 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 Part and 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 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 1 Quote
Baba Booey Posted January 21 Posted January 21 (edited) The hire will be Klint Kubiak or Davis Webb Edited January 21 by Baba Booey 2 Quote

nosejob Posted January 21 Posted January 21 8 hours ago, drummernut74 said: 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 It wasn't the offense that let us down in the biggest moments, it was the defense and it's outdated philosophy.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. 1 1 Quote

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.

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? 1 Quote

So why didn't they have that meeting already about discussing potential HC candidates? 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 Quote
Big Blitz Posted January 21 Posted January 21 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. Quote

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 1 Quote
