I think we still have a "senior advisor to defense" type position that could be filled if they find the right guy Quote
MJS Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I think we need a dline coach, right? Marcus West is leaving to Tampa Bay. 1 Quote

I love the fact we have ILB and OLB coaches separate from each other. The guys just have to worry about their jobs not every LB position. So DL Coach is the question and that is a huge Coaching hire we need to hit on 1 Quote

MJS Posted February 4 Posted February 4 (edited) I think this is what we have so far: Head Coach — Joe Brady Offensive Coordinator — Pete Carmichael Defensive Coordinator — Jim Leonhard Special Teams Coordinator — Jeff Rodgers Offensive Line — Pat Meyer Quarterbacks — Bo Hardegree Wide Receivers — Drew Terrell Inside Linebackers — Bobby April III Outside Linebackers — John Egorugwu Cornerbacks — Jay Valai Here are the holdovers we don't know that will stay or be replaced (I'm assuming all defensive ones will be replaced): Rob Boras, TE coach Kelly Skipper, RB coach Joe Danna, safeties coach Austin Gund, assistant OL coach Marc Lubick, pass game specialist DJ Mangas, OFF quality control/assistant WR coach Ryan Nielsen, senior DEF assistant Mike Pellegrino, nickel DB coach Jason Rebrovich, assistant DL coach Kyle Shurmur, OFF quality control Christian Taylor, DEF assistant Turner West, assistant ST coach Edited February 4 by MJS 9 Quote

If not, we need RB and TE coaches. On defense, it appears we still need a D-Line coach and a safeties coach (unless Leonard retains Joe Dana and Jason Rebrovich). 1 Quote
pi2000 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 In my opinion they need a game management coach up in the booth. Brady has never been a head coach, at any level! How will he utilize timeouts, manage the clock, know when to challenge calls, etc.. He needs an experienced voice in his ear to guide him. That's my biggest concern with Brady, game management. It took McD years to figure it out. The Bills can't afford to take a step back in that area. 2 Quote

T.E. Posted February 4 Posted February 4 How about a common sense coordinator (CSC)? Brady: "Okay, it's the biggest drive of the game. I'm thinking Cook up the middle on 1st and 2nd down, then a bubble screen to a WR who has zero targets today on 3rd and long." CSC: "We should do something else." 6 Quote
blacklabel Posted February 4 Posted February 4 TE coach Boras seems pretty well liked and respected by the team plus he has a ton of experience including some time as an OC so he seems like a good one to keep around. 1 Quote

Same with the RB coach Kelly Skipper. Wouldn't mind keeping both of them. 2 Quote

It took McD years to figure it out. The Bills can't afford to take a step back in that area. I don’t understand why every coach doesn’t have a game management coach. It has to be impossible to do that well as the HC on the field during the game. if I were the HC, I’d have a game management coach and some data geeks in the booth, and they would be making every major strategic decision (4th downs, challenges, etc.).

Deploy an agentic AI MCP server in the new stadium datacenter and let Brady and/or his staff interact with it during live games. There is plenty of historical data available to accurately identify when exactly to call timeouts, or go for it on 4th, or go for 2, etc...... take advantage of technology! 1 Quote
nashman Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Who the heck is our conditioning coach? I'd like to see our starters get through a game or two before we become the walking wounded... Quote
JoeF Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Brady mentioned in the Eric Wood interview that there would be Offensive Coach holdovers. I assume he meant Boras and Skipper at a minimum, with probably a lot of the assistant position/quality control coaches. The Defensive Staff will be almost all new I would bet. The Common Sense Coach is a fricking great idea.....Brady: inside jet sweep on 4th and one.....put the CSC up in the booth with the remote for a shock collar... 1 Quote
