BillsGuru4 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Who are other options besides norv, mccoy and lynn? I could easily see us missing out on all 3.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 We can't even get Norv and he will (and has) coach for anyone. I hope they have a plan. OC is going to be the most important part of this situation now that we have a defensive coach "even"?
BrooklynBills Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Position coaches who could be in line for OC promotion: Ricky Proehl, CAR WR coach Ken Dorsey, CAR QB coach Matt Nagy, KC co-OC Matt LaFleur, ATL QB coach Sanjay Lal, BUF WR coach Alex Van Pelt, GB QB coach James Urban, CIN WR coach Mike Groh, LA WR coach John DeFilippo, PHI QB coach OC "free agents": McCoy Turner Bill Musgrave Marc Trestman Greg Olsen Off the wall college guys: TCUs Sonny Cumbie Mark Helfrich Chip Kelly
klos63 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 I just cant excited about Norv as OC. Screams retread to me. Most coaches move around a lot during their career, even the good ones. It's the nature of the job. To call someone a retread is an insult and unfair. It's also very naive. Turner has had a great deal of success during his career and has earned any opportunities that come his way.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Two words: Tom Freakin' Landry. jw What Does Landry have to do with Norv? I don't want Norv because he likes the long ball which is not the way to win in todays NFL.
BuffaloFan68 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 My preference for OC would be: 1) Mike McCoy 2) Musgrave 3) A-Lynn Great job Buffalo - keep up the good work!
GunnerBill Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 I don't want Norv because he likes the long ball which is not the way to win in todays NFL. I have a similar view. It would be like hiring the Rex of offense. His offense appears a bit of a dinosaur in the modern NFL.
Freddie's Dead Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 What's his full name - Norvert? Norvell? Norvcus?

I would jump for joy if they got him. However Philly won't let him interview. They already declined Jets request.
PaattMaann Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 DeFelippo is a very very good. I would jump for joy if they got him. However Philly won't let him interview. They already declined Jets request. how can Philly deny the interview if its for a promotion? I thought you could only deny an interview for a lateral move, no?
Beef Jerky Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 I got one. Anthony Lynn. Anything you suggest should be burned and never spoken of again.
YoloinOhio Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 how can Philly deny the interview if its for a promotion? I thought you could only deny an interview for a lateral move, no? all assistant jobs are considered equal where this rule stands. Only one that can't be blocked is a HC interview.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 I'll be very surprised if it's Lynn only because rarely have I ever seen an in place coordinator interview for the HC position, see the position given to someone else, then stay on in his old position as OC. Yes I understand he's under contract and technically doesn't have a choice (just like Jim Schwarz), but it just doesn't happen as too much bitterness and disapointment and at this level you want a person who is 110% happy with the McDermott hire and can't see how Lynn would ever be.
PaattMaann Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 all assistant jobs are considered equal where this rule stands. Only one that can't be blocked is a HC interview. Interesting - thanks. An OC job, I would think, is a much more desired job than a QB coach position. Seems like a dick move for an organization to block that type of an interview. I'm sure it happens often though.
BrooklynBills Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 all assistant jobs are considered equal where this rule stands. Only one that can't be blocked is a HC interview. They would have to make Asst. HC. Jets unwillingly to that
YoloinOhio Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 They would have to make Asst. HC. Jets unwillingly to thatnot even that works with this role. Assistants are assistants. Interesting - thanks. An OC job, I would think, is a much more desired job than a QB coach position. Seems like a dick move for an organization to block that type of an interview. I'm sure it happens often though. forner Raiders exec Amy Trask tweeted that sometimes teams will deny the interview request as a cover for the coach, if the coach doesn't want the job but doesn't want that public.

Who cares if he is bitter and disappointed. If he is the best available option he needs to do the job he is being paid to do.
