transplantbillsfan Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 I was just wondering if there's been any news on this front? We nearly just lost Daboll, so I'm sure McDermott at least started thinking about his replacement. Since we now get the rarity of the same HC/OC/QB combo for the 3rd consecutive season, I think it would be wise to be prepared for the replacement plan for Daboll when (most likely)/if we lose him next offseason. So, how do we think Ken Dorsey would be as an OC after 2 seasons of absorbing Daboll's work? He was an actual QB, so I'm thinking that type of in-game experience would give him a different and important perspective. How might he be as OC?

fansince88 Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Daboll doesn't even have hair. What would he know about grooming? 2 6 1

Well if Dorsey can learn from Daballs" mistakes he'll be great !!!! 2

Didn't realize I directed that question to you. If you don't know, you don't know. Someone else may know more than you or I do about Dorsey as a potential OC and whether he's being groomed. 1 1
Buffalo716 Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 I would want someone with wayyy more proven track record than Dorsey new to the position OC is wayyy more commanding than a QB coach and I'd prefer experience 1

Doubt he's being groomed, but I'm sure he's observing and probably gaining an understanding of how the OC operates. Actual QB's are much more likely to be good OC's than fake QB's. 1
BigBillsFan Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 You know how perverted your question can be interpreted right? ? 2
TigerJ Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 I would say, "No." On the other hand, every NFL coaching staff knows there is nothing remotely permanent about staffing arrangements. Moreover, most assistants have some hope of advancing to positions of greater responsibility and pay. I'm sure McDermott welcomes this sort of thinking. Applying that to Dorsey's relationship with Daboll: while I don't think there is any formal grooming agreement in place, I'm sure Dorsey has been learning anything he can from Daboll and has made sure he knows the offense backwards, forwards and inside out. He's in the meetings the team has for offensive game planning, and probably asks a ton of questions and has significant input. I'm sure Daboll is fine with the questions and the input.
Don Otreply Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 I suspect that Beane and McDermott have a list of possible replacement coaches from the OC, DC on down, it would be really bad if they didn’t have a plan for these sort of contingencies. As to Ken Dorsey, he’s been rubbing shoulders with OCs for a while now, I wouldn’t be completely surprised if he is being groomed, Sean likes guy who can play multiple positions ?? Go Bills!!!

Warcodered Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 He interviewed for the Bills OC job in 2017 so probably yeah. 2

Also looking for better instincts on actual play calling. Brand new OC from outside will mean brand new system. Yes, I realize this is a long way off... it'd just be a good plan to start grooming Dorsey and seeing if he has what it takes.

Yea keeping the same system would be ideal but there is NOTHING that says Dorsey would want to run the same offense .. he is there to Help Josh on mechanics and progressions and such not have a playbook His philosophy could be totally different Also playcalling has been a huge issue and again Dorsey has NEVER called plays.. it's already such a demanding job that a QB coach going to green OC has a huge transition I want the best OC available and it isn't Dorsey, honestly
