JGMcD2 Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Saw that Kuechly doesn’t want to completely leave football behind and he’s specifically interested in coaching. I’m going to do everyone’s favorite thing and make the McDermott - Carolina connection. Bob Babich is a great coach but bringing Kuechly in as an assistant could help Tremaine take another huge leap this year. This would be really cool to see.

Where did you see the report? Link? 1
JimKellyTryouts Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Coach Babich will be approaching 60 soon, so *if* we can bring him in as an assistant only to take over in X years, who here wouldn't absolutely love that? 5

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Couldn’t think of a better mentor to Edmunds. 3 1
Lurker Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 I'd expect him to be in demand by the 'Skins as well... 1 3

JoeF Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Found this....last year McD was with the Panthers... https://www.espn.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/23839/sean-mcdermott-on-coach-kuechly-superman-carrying-a-clipboard There is some serious love by McD... 1 2
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Kuechly had a lot of nice things to say about Tremaine after their practice in preseason. If nothing else have him spend some time with Tremaine on his approach to film study. Kuechly was notorious for logging film time and notes on offensive players, systems, and coaches.

McDermott has raves about him so many times. There is a lot of mutual respect. I could see him choosing Buffalo over anywhere else because of that relationship and our trajectory. I also think he’d like to work with an up and coming star like Edmunds. All speculation of course, but the pieces are there. 3 2
Don Otreply Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 So, on a scale of 1-10, ten being the most likely, how likely is Buffalo his landing spot?

All speculation of course, but the pieces are there. This would be a significant "free agent" acquisition. I really like the idea of adding another early retiree LB from the Panthers -- This would be even greater than adding Dan Morgan to Beane's team. Morgan will also have a role in recruiting Luke to Buffalo if its an option. Edited January 18, 2020 by JoeF

If Luke is serious about this rather than a TV career (Where I think he would be a "D" version of Romo) I gotta believe the Bills would be in the top 2 or 3 destinations....just pure speculation 4 2

Connections are there and the Pegula’s have shown willingness to spend money on having a high end staff. Both coaching and front office. There is a ton of talent everywhere in our organization. If Beane and McDermott want him... they may be able to give him the best deal financially. Pair that with working alongside the defensive coordinator whom you had he most success with (2013 NFL DPOY) and it may just make a lot of sense. Also, here is our very own Dan Morgan praising Kuechly! https://amp.charlotteobserver.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/scott-fowler/article239376698.html 1 1

Buffalo716 Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Hypothetically it sounds like a great idea but generally the best players don't make good coaches There are a laundry list of reasons why but Luke being a great player doenst guarentee he will be a great coach 2
