Bills Position Coach of the Year: Chad Hall

[AKC]

With all due respect to the fine work Ken Dorsey has done with Josh, the product Chad Hall puts on the field every week is remarkable. Hall is the epitomal overachieving Process grinder, going from a very limited career in the NFL pulling in less than half of his targets to taking an assemblage of diverse talents at WR and seemingly making each more complete at their craft. Our WRs are pumped up, humble and ready to help team first every week. Our receivers go hard to get the ball while most around the league expect the ball to find them. Watching Smoke channel Gabriel Davis on the sidelines last night exemplified Chad’s accomplishments in OP. Brown came to us as a FA with some very good skills but his work on the perimeter was a weakness. Hall should be a guy making a move up the ladder if Daboll becomes a Head Coach. Maybe an Asst. OC title while he keeps the WR job too?

I fear this award nomination does NOT take into consideration my contributions as a positional coach.  I haven’t allowed a single drop of food to miss my mouth ALL SEASON, while leading my ENTIRE home in calories after contact...

 

There’s an award due here dammit, and I WON’T be SLIGHTED!

Hadn't thought of this. Interesting take.

I think Hall has a decent chance at the OC gig if Daboll leaves.  He and Dorsey are certainly the leading internal candidates.  I have read that the players really love Hall, FWIW.

No way on Hall.  The Bills hired him in 2017 as an offensive assistant and he was just promoted to WR coach last season.  He'll be kept as WR coach because he was hired before Daboll (i.e. he has no loyalty to him) and the Bills can block any non-HC moves.  And most of all because Diggs said he's the best WR coach he's ever had, and that's saying something.

 

As for Dorsey, the Bills can also block his move.  But I'm not sure if he's ready to be an OC either.

Hope you’re right, but vaguely recall Beane/Pegs saying they would only block horizontal moves to other teams and not vertical. If either were offered a higher position under Daboll they may not block.

 

Though I believe that was in reference to Daboll getting other OC offers to interview...
