Hottest daughter in the coaching business. Let's do it.

 

 

 

She has a few posts about the Bills.

[FistingBot]

Our current QB coach David Culley has spent the vast majority of his career as a WR coach... so, of course, we hire him as QB coach (even though he's never done it before at the pro level), then draft a raw rookie QB in the first round. Because... Bills.

 

Trestman (unlike Culley) played QB in college and has spent most of his career as a QB coach and mentor. It'd make sense. Too much sense for a franchise like this.

I would only want him added to the coaching staff if it is Brians idea . I don't think it would be right to have a coach forced down someones throat or our current coach looking over his shoulder......If Brian likes it then you know he is secure with adding a guy who has done the same job as him before.....GO BILLS!!!

This franchise is  “3:46 a.m. at The Old Pink” desperate, my man.

 

And it’s lookin like a “go home with a chicken finger sub and pass out in your jeans and sneakers (again)” kinda season.

Spent many weekend nights there with my 2nd wife in the 80's. Their steak sandwich and chili was very good back then.

 

More often we'd end up at the Towne restaurant eating open chicken souvlakis doused in Greek dressing. 

 

You're right, offense is desperate and pathetic. To watch McBeane's offensive weekly this year, one seems near sadistic.

Always liked Trestman and wanted him as our OC when he was available... Bring him in!

[Formerly Allan in MD]

Sign of a desperate team: bring anyone in, it can't hurt.

[RevWarRifleman]

Hire him as our O coordinator.

We would probably be better off bringing him in to play qb 

The early AFL Broncos had to do that.  And he was a qb coach in the CFL before being a qb coach with the Broncs. Frank (not sure of the spelling here) Tripuca.

Dont we have a WR coach mentoring our QB currently?

Yeh, and if that doesn't work out, the Bills are ready to contact Booth Lusteg to mentor the qbs, or the keg of beer that had season ticket seat reserved for itself. I don't know.

 

At 2-6, options are wide open.

[boater]

Lolz.. to those who say git'r done, or I'd kick the tires...

 

Consider that he may not want to be here. Buffalo is not a well known career building hotbed.

...OBD DOES have two openings for beermen, three peanut vendors and one Sanitary Engineer in the upper deck......

No to Trestman. He looks like a muskellunge.

They’re already doing around the worst of all time level work on offense. It really can’t hurt. 

[Koko78]

Bringing him in now might be beneficial, or it might be a "too many cooks" situation. If his coaching is too different than what Anderson and/or Culley are telling Allen, you might do more harm than good in the middle of the season.

 

The decision would, for me, boil down to what he is going to bring to Allen's development right now, and how his coaching would fit in with what Culley and Anderson are teaching him. Otherwise, wait until the offseason to have Trestman work with Allen.

Would a team like the Bills, or any team for that matter, bring in a guy like Trestman mid season to help a QB? or are positions like that only filled preseason and no adding to staff midseason? Feel like if anything he could help develop Allen

yeah bring him in he could run out a 12th player like CFL to talk the QB through the play live in real time.

 

If he comes in I would require him to leave that old haircut he had in Chicago in Canada.

He failed as OC in Baltimore. FWIW.

How many times has this guy failed as a coach/OC?      He has more lives than a junkyard cat...

There are plenty of 'mentors' in the QB room already. 

This week Anderson explained the dangers of a strip sack.

Next week hopefully Pryor will teach hime to 'ball out'

Nate &  Matt must be a big help too.

What does Trestman's resume look like? Who has he coached that turned out to be any good? I don't know anything about the guy except I remember him being the Bears coach at some point, maybe.

You mean the guy who has been below average almost everywhere he has gone?

 

Sorry, no thanks
