McDermott needs to be ready

[DCbillsfan]

A bunch of head coach firings - Browns, Packers, Bengals, Fish, Jets, Broncos, and Bucs.  Maybe the Cardinals

 

Frazier and Daboll in all likelihood will get some interviews for HC jobs.  McDermott needs to have some guys in mind as replacements.

 

Plus there has to be a special teams coach out there to replace Crossman, right?

[Steptide]

I really don't think daboll will get a head coaching job. I don't think he's quite at that level yet

[MJS]

I'm sure he hasn't thought of that...

 

Honestly, if any coach from our team gets a HC gig, I'll be super surprised. How can you justify Daboll getting a job when we had one of the worst offenses in the league? Frasier already had his shot and failed.

[Bangarang]

In the extremely unlikely event that Dabol gets hired somewhere, I would immediately go after Todd Monken or Freddie Kitchens.

 

There should also be an o-line coach out there somewhere.

[oldmanfan]

Frazier will get interviews.  Rooney rule.

[NewEraBills]

He needs to be ready to find a better OL coach and drop the one we have.  Look to Steve Wilks for D Coordinator if Frazier gets a gig.

I'm confident that McD is more prepared than you are giving him credit for.

Pretty shallow perspective right here

Owners tend to follow trends so it wouldn't surprise me if someone hired Daboll and a DC vet/former HC as DC.

I don't think so either.

But it's reality.  Right now there's two African-American HCs left if I'm counting correctly and it's a priority for the league.

I don't mean to pick on you personally, because a ton of fans make the same claims, but these takes are the absolute worst.

 

Coach is forced to coordinate talentless group. The talentless group does not perform well. Therefore, coach must suck.

 

It's just so unbearably awful.

Good. I think he is capable, but he hasn't been able to show it because of our roster situation. Actually works out well for us. 

 

There is nothing worse for a young QB than constant coach/coordinator turnover. Just ask Blaine Gabbert. Saw a stat last night in the IND/TEN game that blew me away. In 8 years in the NFL, he's had NINE different head coaches and eight OC's.

Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone would want Frazier as a HC, but I hope someone takes him off our hands.  IMO, he did a mediocre job at best with the DLine, which ended up putting a lot more pressure on the DBs...who did a great job, especially with not enough help from the DLine.

Agree. I think the continuity for Allen would be incredibly beneficial at this point in his career. Also, I like Daboll and I am interested to see what he does with an upgraded roster.

Remember, Gregggggggggg is first consideration for all of those spots, no matter what is reported.

I am not to concerned - I think these guys are a prepared for most scenarios.

[PlayoffsPlease]

If he is up to the task, I would love to see what Chan Gailey could do with Josh Allen.  He made Fitz into the 65 mm dollar man.

Yes, yes, yes.  The Gabbert stat was mind-blowing. 

 

The single most important thing for the Bills over the next 8 months is to retain Daboll.   Allen and the rest of the offense needs continuity more than anything else at this time.  There is no single player in the draft or free agency that means more to the Bills' 2019 offense than Brian Daboll.   And I'm not saying Daboll is a star.  I'm just saying the Bills' offense desperately needs stability.   Let's see them build on Allen, Jones, Foster, Dawkins, Teller and a couple of other returnees.

I totally agree.  And Daboll seems to be a fit for this offense the way he moves guys around.  Zay was wide open for the TD because the WR routes confused a decent Miami secondary.

IMO I wouldn't say it has to do anything with the coach sucking as the hand he had was obviously awful.

 

But you think you would want to see success from someone before giving him the keys to the franchise. Once again, Not saying it was Daboll's fault that the offence sucked this year. But just saying hiring a coach with a proven track record would be an important asset IMO.
