Ken Dorsey - would he choose OC here or leave to be Daboll's OC?

Did Josh ascend to elite status under Dabol/Dorsey, as opposed to the losing OCs Beane brought before Dabol,who were replaced in short order. You want to diminish what Dabol/Dorsey accomplished, where we we should have advanced to a home Championship game if not for Sean's epic brain freeze the last 13 seconds, go right ahead. Don't prioritize what makes Josh comfortable with a playcaller. Taking any leftover failed OC will be fine. Some of the people just want to be arbitrary. 

 

It wasn't "arbitrary"--I was simply pointing out your dramatics.  You posted something that made no sense, then you retracted it after I pointed that out.

 

Also, the Bills did advance to the AFCC game under Daboll/Dorsey...last year.  And got blown out.

I haven’t heard about us interviewing anyone for the OC position so I’m waiting to hear we’re promoting Dorsey to OC then I hope we officially hire Jordan Palmer as the QB coach. I figure this would be a perfect case for Josh. 
Let’s Go Buffalo!!!!!

We still have to interview an outside minority candidate before Dorsey can officially be named OC. 
 

Also, people need to let the Jordan Palmer dream die. It’s not going to happen.

It may not result in killing our chances,but wouldn't you want to make the most important player on your team and arguably the best QB in football,comfortable with his playcaller if you want to maximize our chances. If Josh has expressed his preference on an OC, Beane has a mandate to get him. It's not as if there's multiple teams vying for him It's the Giants,  the worst team in football by most accounts. 

 

With all due respect to Allen, he only knows what he knows.

 

He likes who he has been surrounded with. But he doesnt know what other experts are out there.

 

I am hoping the Bills make a strong push for Doug Pederson. He won a SB with the Bears 3rd string QB. That is beyond impressive.

Why is everything a gotcha moment with you. I gave my opinion about Beane not retaining Dorsey and how it would be a negative. I didn’t retract anything. You're in no position to call anything ridiculous. You have your opinion,that's all.

And then was fired shortly after for running that franchise into the ground and alienating the fanbase because he thought he invented modern offensive football strategy. By the way, why hasn't Doug gotten a sniff of OC or HC jobs since being fired? Could be his head is to big for the room.

Then why post that it will?

 

Getting Dorsey simply because he's a guy the QB wants has nothing to do with their chances of getting to the SB.

 

What if Dorsey sucks as an actual Coordinator?--worse than Daboll, who couldn't, with Josh, get them to the SB?

So you think a lack of offense is the reason the Bills aren’t playing today?  Seriously?

IMO, the Giants will use their two first round picks to move up for Kenny Pickett - QB - Pitt.

 

New GM, new HC, often means new QB. If I'm Schoen and Daboll, I don't want my career hanging on Daniel Jones.

I agree.  But we're all pretty much in agreement that they have offered him the OC position, and he obviously hasn't taken it.  So unless passing game coordinator is the same as OC, the Bills can't block him leaving.

 

Diaboll may have caused Jiants to be fined / lose draft picks.

 

By stating "Daboll wanted to be a package deal with Ken Dorsey."  he is giving ammunition to anyone stating minority candidates have no chance of being selected as required by rule.

Beane should head the words of Josh when he gives his heartfelt endorsement of Dorsey. No excuses will be accepted for not signing this guy. Don't kill our chances to go in the future.

One more time...the ridiculous part wasn't the suggestion that the Bills should consider who Josh prefers as OC, it was the suggestion that if they didn't, and hired someone else, this would kill the Bills chances of making it to the SB.

 

 

It's not a "gothca".  It's what you actually said.

Likely Schoen and Daboll have told Mara and others in front office that it would take time and they will use Jones as QB while they work on building lines and clearing up cap issue.

Daboll took this job in large part because he loves Daniel Jones.

 

The Giants are not drafting a QB in Round 1 with either pick. 

 

Try again.

That is your opinion, not fact.

Your opinion is backed up by absolutely nothing.

 

Fact - Bill Belichick loved Daniel Jones coming out of the 2019 Draft.

 

Fact - Brian Daboll loves Daniel Jones.

 

 

The irony here is fun

What's at play? This is just fodder on this board. You don’t know that Dabol has reached out to Dorsey. My point to all the conspiracy theorists is Josh wants this guy so Beane has a responsibility to the best player on our team to get him. Why are you deluding yourself into accepting his departure as no big deal. Accept whatever happens,accept impotence. Accept mediocrity.

 

I'm sure Beane is doing everything he can to keep Dorsey, assuming they want him to be OC.  But he can't make players or coaches sign with the team.  And no amount of hand-wringing or complaining by us will change anything.

Actually I do think someone could mess this up.  Remember the jags canning their assistant coaches several years ago, then discovering they had to pay an extra year of salary because of how the contract was written, and then firing their GC?  I do.

 

Your view on the NFL rejecting the contract out of hand  is similarly misguided. Ever hear of a savings clause?  What about a clause that allows for promotion as of right upon Rooney satisfaction ?
 

And, because the Bills seek the right to promote against one’s will doesn’t mean they would exercise that right.  Ergo, your Rooney problem is feigned. Frankly, in my view, the whole idea of insulating against a situation like this makes perfect sense.  Wanna be Josh’s QB coach?  Gotta potentially sacrifice some marketability as insulation in case the guy above you leaves and we then wish to explore continuity. 

 

Making a mistake in how much you pay someone isn't against any rule.  It's just foolish.  And that's far different than every lawyer who has ever worked on coaching contract somehow failing to realize they could have locked-up coaches beforehand. 

 

The Bills obviously wanted Dorsey to be their next OC, hence the promotion last off-season.  You're telling me no one thought to offer Dorsey a contract that you're proposing?  Doubtful at best.  Even ignoring the Rooney Rule, there might be reluctance on Dorsey's part, and the Bills might realize over the course of the season that he's not OC material.  Why would either party lock themselves into that kind of contract?

1) He didnt run anything into the ground. He was fired due to a power struggle between him and Howie Roseman.

 

2) Hasn't sniffed a job? He is literally interviewing for a Head Coach job this week lol.

Everything points to Daboll liking Daniel Jones.

 

Not 1 single thing points to Daboll not liking Daniel Jones. 

You may be right on why Daboll chose the Giants.

 

You say he took it in “large part” because he loves DJ and “fact” that he indeed does. 
 

Can you provide proof of this as fact?

 

Or just speculating?

You give way, way too much credit to the lawyers these teams hire.  The people the bills have have are far from the cream of the crop. 
 

And, re the first paragraph,  this isn’t about making anyone sign.  It’s about making sure that, when someone does sign (like Dorsey did several yards ago, when he had little leverage), that the team is protected in a situation such as this one.  
 

bottom line here: some rando on an internet message board came up with a plan to avoid the mess in which the bills now find themselves.  They’d be wise to try to implement the tool in the future.

You play real fast and lose with the word fact. And now you’re moving the goal posts. 
 

There’s a pretty large difference between Daboll loving DJ, liking him, or not being deterred by him being on the roster. 
 

The reality is you don’t know how Daboll really feels about DJ, no matter how much you pretend otherwise.

At this rate we are 5 offseason posts away from him organizing a raid on local
