Blank Stare Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Good for coach. However, not the update I was expecting when I saw the alert. Was hoping for a shaq deal or something.

Not true. It's just a promotion (and pay raise) for a guy who deserves it. He was never going to leave for another DC job somewhere else. 1 1

GunnerBill Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Frazier is here for the long haul I believe. If he was 5 or 6 years younger he'd have had Head Coach interviews this hiring season. But quiet, laid back, non-flashy, 60 year old re-treads are not the order of the day for the NFL of 2020. 3

Unsure how this is related. Also trying to understand what urgency there would be to extend McDermott and/or Beane with 2 years left on their contracts 1

I know a team can't take him laterally unless approved by the Bills, but if they were to offer a DC/Assistant HC job would that no longer of been a lateral move if he was still only officially a DC?
2003Contenders Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Nicely done. He is an excellent DC, has the respect of the players and appears to have a great relationship with McD. And, to think, he was a finalist for the Bills' head coaching position a decade ago!

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Also lets the Bills say “We already have one!” when Wrecks comes looking for an Ass’t. Head Coach job. (Wrecks might try for teams looking for an ‘Ass. Head Coach’ job.) * EDIT: Also blocks Brandon from claiming the AHC place in the company phone directory. Edited March 4, 2020 by Ridgewaycynic2013 Obligatory Russ Brandon slam.
Tenhigh Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Not to BV the place up, but didn't McD take away play calling duties from him for a while in year one? I'd be interested to know the full story on that...

I'd be interested to know the full story on that... The Charger game in 2017. McD started to blitz Rivers, which stopped the bleeding; too little, too late since LA piled on a 40 point lead by then. I can let that go, but not the playoff game against Houston. They blew a 16 point lead and allowed the Texans to convert on a 3rd and 18 by lining the LBs and DBs 20+ yards off the ball. McD's or Frazier's idea? Probably both were in agreement with the call, very similar conservative coaching styles. 1

It certainly shut up the "it can't get any worse that Tyrod" posters, lol. 1
ProcessYaDigg Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Well deserved and a great move in my opinion. He deserves a HC opportunity, but I believe this move was needed to ensure that he remains with us for a while. This shows him how much the organization values and believes in him.
H2o Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Frazier is nothing, but a class act. Well deserved and glad we have him. 1

hondo in seattle Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 For everyone applauding the promotion, let me ask: why? Certainly the D has played well under McD & Frazier. But how much of that can we attribute to McD and how much to Frazier? As far as that goes, how much do we attribute to Beane for getting the right players? I'm not knocking Frazier. I actually tend to think highly of the guy. I just don't honestly know how much he contributes when the HC is a defensive guy.
