Max Fischer Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 IMO, the OC and DC hires (among others) are just as important. The only guy with a "safe" job is April, who likely deserves a Asst. HC promotion. Any legitimate guesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 DC....... Bates OC....... Caldwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 He had Spoon or something like that as his OC. He was terrible and their offense was always in the bottom third of the league. I am hoping thats what the hold up was, trying to find a strong OC, and why Loften Caldwell and a few others were talked to before naming Jauron.

He was the one who brought the WR screen to the NFL, and it worked until teams figured out how to stop it. And unfortunately that was about ALL he brought to the NFL.

Stevie Ray Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Also had Gary Crowton as his first OC. Dont have the offensive stats on hand, but he was previuosly HC of Utah (I think) and had short lived success bringing his style into the pros. Was eventually ditched for Shoop, no improvement there.

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I dont get the big deal about caldwell? I'd love Capers as a defensive coordinator though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 DC....... BatesOC....... Caldwell 578212[/snapback] Why would Caldwell come to Buffalo? I'm also weary hiring OC/DCs who've only had all-star rosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, now that you mention it, I think it was Crowton who brought the WR screen, and nothing else, to the NFL. Shoop brought NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoop brought NOTHING. 578303[/snapback] Yeah, Crowton employed a multiple receiver set offense in college. I think similar to the run and shoot. It only took a few games for defenses to catch up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 as far as I know caldwell isnt an offensive coordinator he's a qb coach/assistant head coach with indy for the past 4 years, before that he was with dungy in tampa, and was a head coach at wake forrest. 578317[/snapback] and before Wake Forest he was an assistant at Penn State. Obviously I think we should bring him on As far as DC, I dunno. I'd like to see Capers but he'll prolly have several teams after him and I doubt Buffal would be his first choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
