26CornerBlitz Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 @buffalobills McDermott: "It is official that we've retained Danny Crossman as Special Teams Coordinator." Says still in the process of hiring OC and DC.
Virgil Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Not sure how I feel about this. If we are going to clean house, let's clean house. Get the old culture out. Special teams wasn't anything that great this past year.
FireChan Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Fire OL coach who had a good unit. Retain an ST coach who had a bad one. Bold strategy. Edited January 13, 2017 by FireChan
BillsFanForever19 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 How is it possible that this guy was brought in by Doug Marrone, retained by Rex Ryan, and retained again by Sean McDermott? Can't be all that common to stay with a team through 3 Head Coaches.
NoSaint Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 How is it possible that this guy was brought in by Doug Marrone, retained by Rex Ryan, and retained again by Sean McDermott? Can't be all that common to stay with a team through 3 Head Coaches. does he not have an available replacement in his contact list? i cant imagine its based on how the units looked and progressed under his tenure.
jeffismagic Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Danny Crossman. No one can let this guy go!!
TPS Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I guarantee McDermott will tell Crossman that every ST player better know ALL of the rules that could impact a play on special teams....
plenzmd1 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 as I said in the PC thread...think Pegula said to McD "my hate for Marrone is thorough, he wants Crossman, he aint getting him" and if you want the job, yu keep crossman
YoloinOhio Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Noooooo god help us if we need onside kick next season. Help him out, Kathryn!!
Taro T Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 So is Crossman the one who brings the hookers & blow to the coaches meetings? There has to be SOME reason he keeps getting retained, & it surely isn't the play of the special teams.
ndirish1978 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 If a team is undisciplined, all 3 facets of the game will be undisciplined. I'll give him another shot for now
Big C Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Last year was the outlier for Crossman. Our units were pretty good in the previous years. Carp and Schmidt both had awful years and I don't think we can pin that on Crossman.

Blocking and coverages though - we never had a kick or punt blocked, no TD returns.... even with a kicker who didnt have a good leg and a punter who had a really bad year.

Unfortunately we did allow a healthy return in situationally the worst possible time (end of Miami game), but otherwise you're right.
