The Bills haven’t taken any coaches from them that weren’t fired. Eric Washington was not retained by Matt Rhule. Outside of Heath Farwell who was promoted here, the Bills have hired no coaches or FO personnel from the panthers since Beane and McDermott got here. The panthers did however hire Rob Hanrahan from the Bills. Edited January 14, 2020 by YoloinOhio
MAJBobby Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 If Butler wants to stay he will go to Bills and say deny the interview. they will talk to him before denying anything. But ultimately it is up to Bills. at no point in the NFL have teams not been able to hire and attract coaching talent because they deny lateral moves.

Other than that, a number of players, who in hindsight we actually did them a favor such as Benjamin. Don't think they miss Star, either. McD likes his Carolina connection, and I'm not the only one who has pointed this out. It has been mentioned in articles over the past year or so.

Well they could have easily kept Beane buy making him the GM. They didn’t do it and lost him. That is on Panthers to only fire Gettleman what a couple months after Beane left?
MR8 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 When you're team gets better, people want your guys. It's that simple... no one is combing the bottom of the league for coaching talent, they always look up. Right now we're top half of the league overall, an our Defensive staff is STACKED, so people are noticing. People are getting upset that we may lose a guy... we lost a D-Line coach and got a better one to replace him. While it stinks not having continuity, I'm not really worried about losing positional coaches on the defensive side. We have too many talented coaches over there for it to really matter losing just 1. It's good if you can become a coaching factory, means you're luring in the best and brightest and you're developing them. Also means you're good for an extended period of time. 1
bigK14094 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Various organizations handle the lateral moves to another organization in different ways. The corporation I was in for 35 years, allowed management to deny a lateral move if they wanted to.......but, could not deny a promotion interview unless you have concrete plans for that individual to be promoted in the near term. Maybe the Bills coach wants to go...who knows. Maybe he doesn't. And, nobody here at this website seems to know the actual rules of engagement on these matters in the NFL. (although many here say its a two level game.....HC and others. I doubt that myself as DC is a bigger title than DB coach and would lead to more HC opportunities)

Going back to the Bills hiring Brandon Beane as GM doesn’t really align with what we were originally talking about here. Beane didn’t poach anyone from the FO and neither did McDermott outside of an asst. ST coach who was there only year. I still don’t know what the connection is between Wade Phillips and John Butler that was indicated by Fox. Edited January 14, 2020 by YoloinOhio

I think you're making more out of a potential block than there is. Daboll interviewed for HC and most coaches would understand if the Bills deny this purely lateral interview. If Bills denied a position coach the chance to be a coordinator then you might have a good point. Quite frankly, I would think less of the FO if they allowed an excellent position coach the opportunity to interview for a pure lateral move. I think the one hook for Butler to go there laterally with Wade as DC is that he may make it known at age 72 that he might not be long for the job and Butler could be DC in waiting. 1
MAJBobby Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 You want to talk to Butler, we will approve the Interview for your 5th round pick

Or if Wade's taking a Kubiak type role. Assistant to the DC or some such. Where he just sits in the booth, observes, and communicates what he sees/suggests to the actual DC. 1
somnus00 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Jerry Grey is available as a replacement...?
YoloinOhio Posted January 20, 2020 Author Posted January 20, 2020 Cleveland is hiring Joe Woods as DC so assume Butler isn’t headed there since it seemed to be the Wade connection with that one. Dean Pees just retired though as DC in Tennessee and Butler coached with Vrabel for a few years in Houston... so that could be a possible DC opportunity for him

Big Turk Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Wouldn't be the first time we lost a John Butler to another team.
