YoloinOhio Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Interesting @alexmarvez I'm told @Chiefs WRs coach David Culley is leaving to become @buffalobills QBs coach. Working to confirm. @salsports I reported he was interviewing with Bills last week in some capacity. Now it looks like we know what it was for LT: in keeping with clear theme and direction Bills have gone with ast coach hires, Culley has been an NFL coach for 22 years. He also worked with McDermott in Philly under Andy Reid. Coached QBs at college level. Has been WR and assistant HC in NFL

YoloinOhio Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 At any rate, good bye David Lee @terezpaylor Okay, so some clarity on the #Chiefs WR coach situation. Multiple sources confirm David Culley is leaving to be the Bills' QB coach. (1/2)
Not at the table Karlos Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 He hasn't coached qbs since 1988 in college. This is odd. Am I missing something

YoloinOhio Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 David Culley's journey to the NFL http://m.chiefs.com/news/article-2/Chiefs-WRs-Coach-David-Culleys-Journey-to-the-NFL/21891756-d124-4b4e-9346-6b8382267e72
Not at the table Karlos Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Just that David Lee sucks. i understand that. Kromers beach chairs could coach QBs better than Lee. We have qbs that need development. It would be nice if the QBC had coached QBs in the last 25 years. I hope Rico helps out. Edited January 24, 2017 by Not at the table Karlos
Enemarty Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Maybe having someone used to coaching wide receivers isn't a bad idea. Hey Tyrod - throw him open!
bills in oregon Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Maybe he can coach Tyrod on what a catchable ball actually looks like? Wow really? And what QB that is available would do better?
#34fan Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I'm up for it... Let's see what this guy knows...
BrooklynBills Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Looks like a great veteran coach, but he's a career WR coach in the NFL and almost all of his college stints as well. We still don't have anyone on staff whose even worked with an NFL QB, let alone developed one. I don't see how this is a good thing.
Bookie Man Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Didn't the Chiefs wideouts go all of 2015 w/out a TD?
Uffalo Ills Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Didn't the Chiefs wideouts go all of 2015 w/out a TD? That's the first time I've ever heard that! Wow amazing work! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Malazan Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Didn't the Chiefs wideouts go all of 2015 w/out a TD? It was 2014. They had an exceptionally poor receiving core that was headlined by Jason Avant, Donnie Avery and a Dwayne Bowe. Avery and Bowe were on their last legs. They lost 3 WRs who were on their roster the previous year. Chiefs went 9-7 that season and had much better targets in Anthony Fasano, Travis Kelce and Jamaal Charles. They caught enough touchdowns for a winning record. I'm not really sure it says anything about his ability to coach WRs or QBs.

He also worked with McDermott in Philly under Andy Reid. Coached QBs at college level. Has been WR and assistant HC in NFL Part of the role of a QB Coach is to play mini-OC: breakdown game tape, look for tendencies, prepare the players for the upcoming game plan and so on. A good WR coach could transition pretty smoothly to these kinds of tasks. But you also want the QB Coach to coach the mechanics of the position: footwork, throwing motioning, where to look with your eyes, and so on. This would be hard transition for a WR coach who would lack both the expertise and the credibility. Seems like a very odd hire though maybe we're missing something.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 The theme for McDermott has been surround himself with experienced coaches has had prior knowledge of working with. Let's hope it translates into a great working relationship which in turns means a wel coached team that wins games.

Bookie Man Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Spent 18 years under Reid. That is a long time! Even had assistant HC title. Just seems odd he would leave to be QB coach of Buffalo. But I guess it's a bonus he helped development of Tyreek Hill. ...And he is from SPARTA!
