GunnerBill Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I hope Olson is getting the interview and we take Childress as OC and offer Olson the QB coach position. That's what he is good at. This makes sense to me.
CommonCents Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 What has he done that makes him a good QB coach? He was around Bortles and his throwing motion looks worse than it did when he was drafted.
The Big Cat Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 What has he done that makes him a good QB coach? He was around Bortles and his throwing motion looks worse than it did when he was drafted. This thread is teeming with self-ascribed expertise. Proceed with caution.

He was around Bortles and his throwing motion looks worse than it did when he was drafted. As mentioned earlier his work with Josh Freeman early in his career (second season particularly) was stellar. Go check out the numbers he put up.... and that is a guy who was such a borderline talent he is now out of the league. Edited January 16, 2017 by GunnerBill
jeffismagic Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 What has he done that makes him a good QB coach? He was around Bortles and his throwing motion looks worse than it did when he was drafted. He has a league reputation as being good with young QB's. I can't tell you if this is deserved but it does explain why he moves around a lot.

Go check out the numbers he put up.... and that is a guy who was such a borderline talent he is now out of the league. it's funny cause freeman was really good for about 2 years, bortles threw for a lot of yards and td's last year. i might like this hire
Bigantall Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 My one and only question is why would they even look at Olson his track record indicate he shouldn't be considered the bills need an experienced OC to fix theverything problem at one bits drive not someone coming from in coach from colts voice "the jaguar you talking about the Jaguars"
OldTimer1960 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Dak would have looked great here. Sorry, Bills messed up. He's not just a product of the system. If any team - including those that already have good QBs would have thought that Prescott would be as good as he appears to be, he would certainly been drafted in the first round, not the 4th. In a league where QBs are over-drafted all the time, that he lasted until the 4th says that a lot of teams didn't think he would be very good.

My friend who is an amateur scout liked Prescott more than Jared Goff. Way too much group think by NFL GM's. Need new blood.

Go check out the numbers he put up.... and that is a guy who was such a borderline talent he is now out of the league. Freeman had one good year? He was a head case who was never short on talent. His stellar year was 2010? I looked it up he had 3500 yards and a QBR rating of 59.73. I have a hard time using Josh Freeman as the determining factor, the kid lost his mind after a promising start to his career. That had more to do with his demise than his level of talent. Has to be better options on there for OC and QB coach, both hires will be the most important choices that this team makes. If they don't find a way to develop QB's they are better off sticking with TT.
2003Contenders Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I hope Olson is getting the interview and we take Childress as OC and offer Olson the QB coach position. That's what he is good at. This would make sense. Sometime the media reports (even by normally reliable guys like Rappoport) are a bit off. We saw last week that the Broncos were supposedly interviewing both McCoy and Musgrave for the OC job. Musgrave wound up being hired for QB Coach. Maybe a similar situation here?
Chilly Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Olson is the Rob Ryan of offensive coordinators. It better be Childress.

OldTimer1960 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Olson is the Rob Ryan of offensive coordinators. It better be Childress. I don't think that Olson is a bad option- look at his resume here on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Olson_(American_football) He has had some good success.
jeffismagic Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I liked Dak better then Goff also and I ain't no scout. And as I said, NFL teams are dumb.

BringBackFergy Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Not much "outside the box" thinking by the Bills. Two "has been" coaches. Who is the coach that will come in with some original gameplan? Don't see him yet.

Don't see him yet. Childress would be a huge get for Buffalo. Wade Phillips has done quite well for himself after getting fired by the Bills.
