You never know, maybe he doesn’t want to be a HC. Some guys are better coordinators than HC’s. And if Terry backs up the brinks truck for him I think he will stay.

So he will be making 9 Or 10 mil plus, how much does Pegula pay him? 6 mil for a OC might be go crazy since it is double the going rate and half the HC are not even making that much.

Who’s to say Terry won’t pay him 10 million?? He could set the market for OC’s. Terry’s not cheap

That’s more money than you are paying McD.

Doesn’t necessarily mean he will get it, coaches interview all the time but it’s up to the front office who gets picked. There’s a lot more names out there than just Daboll

Obviously there’s no guarantee he gets hired. Smart money says he’s going to be one of the top candidates though. 
 

The point being is that people question whether he’d want to leave to be a HC when Daboll has already shown interest in doing so. 
 

These aren’t 20 minute interviews at Mighty Taco. These things take several hours, sometimes over multiple days. Can’t imagine a coach goes through all the prep work and time actually interviewing if they weren’t seriously considering becoming a HC.

Well I disagree since Gruden is getting 10-15 million plus 25 million in signing bonus a year. I’m sure Terry has been in discussions with Daboll about staying and I think he will offer him a good hunk of money to stay. Daboll is in my opinion the best OC in the NFL but wouldn’t make him a great HC.

I always liked him. When he was with the Bills I think we were one of the best running teams in the league. That’s a huge accomplishment.

 

I wouldn’t mind seeing him back in WNY.

Harbaugh got an extension at Michigan, but hasn't signed it yet.  Scuttlebutt is that he is interested in possibly two jobs in the NFL...Jets and Chargers.

This is the job that I fear most we lost Daboll to. 

 

Bad luck Anthony. You just aren't quite cut out for it. 

Expand  

me too i thought this is the best opportunity for him to leave us.

While this is true, you do realize Spanos still owns the chargers and is one of the cheapest owners in the NFL. A lot of coaches have had problems working for spanos and his family. He’s the one who gave the green light to fire Schottenheimer after an 11-5 season

Daboll has proven that he can develop a young QB. His play calling and play design this year was easily best in the NFL. Daboll is what every team is looking for in a HC.

The grass may not be greener but the money is. Daboll will probably be able to command a 9 or 10 mil a year contract. No way he is turning that down and there are way to many very good HC openings to choose from this year. He is 100% without a doubt gone after this year.

Expand  

Well, I don't know Daboll, and I have no idea what he will do, but I won't be surprised if he stays.   Why?

 

1.  He's a Buffalo guy and he gets, completely, what winning a Super Bowl in Buffalo means.   He probably wants to be a part of that, maybe wants that more than anything else.  

 

2.  This season is the first real success he's had as an OC in the NFL.   He had a lot of one and done failures in bad situations.   He may want to keep building this, to keep learning, to prepare himself better. 

 

3.  As someone said, the Pegulas may give him a lot of money to stay.   There's no salary cap for coaches, so they can pay him whatever they want.   Remember, he's been making six figures for several years, and probably now making seven figures.  He already has millions of dollars saved.   He has 19 years in the NFL as a coach, which means, I believe, he needs one more year to qualify for the full coach's pension, which I understand is very nice (mid-six figures).  This is a West Seneca kid who probably never dreamed of being set for life by time he reached 45 years old, but that's where he is.  If the Pegulas start dropping, say, $5 million a year on him, it's quite conceivable that Daboll decides, like a lot of other guys have decided, that they don't need to be a HC to be satisfied.    Remember, he coached with Josh McDaniels, and he saw McDaniels leave an OC job to be a head coach, then come back to his OC job.   

 

I'm not convinced Daboll is going anywhere.

Woof Idk who in they’re right mind would be interested in the Jets job lol

Expand  

I agree.  It's likely the size of the market that might attract him.  Since he coached at Stanford and SF, I would think the west coast would be most attractive.

It's even worse than that... Marty was fired after going 14-2, because a DB fumbled after catching the game winning INT against Brady in the playoffs so it proved "Marty cannot win in the playoffs."

 

Ironic point: on the Football Life about Marty they showed the video of Marty telling that same player before that game that when he catches the game winning INT just go down, don't go running around and fumble. 

 

It's crazy

He’s trying really hard to get an nfl job right now.

Has anyone thought that maybe Daboll doesn’t want to be a Head Coach yet? Maybe he wants to win here too. He was snubbed by Belichik, went and got better, and is on the cusp of something awesome. 
 

I just don’t get the feeling from him that he wants to run the show yet.
