Those who thought the Bills would just hand the job to Dorsey without interviewing candidates were fooling themselves.

 

That said, I really hope they don't bring in a short passing game WCO guy.  Totally the wrong thing for Allen.

Bennett is about to fired in Vegas for whoever McDaniels is going to bring in. I'd bet this guy will be our RB coach.

Spent 3 years as OC in Green Bay. Under Mike McCarthy. Thought they did a solid job in Vegas this year with a serious lack of talent on the WR room. 

 

Hey, he had Zay Jones.

Certainly not a young up and comer 

[Bruffalo]

Kind of a bizarre choice, I wonder what has elevated him to this potential in McD and Beane's eyes.

Probably wrong but the reports of new interviews in my absolutely uninformed opinion looks like maybe they got word from Dorsey he is going not staying.

Or the opposite. They’ve had positive discussions with Dorsey but are fulfilling League  requirements and maybe doing some favors for friends around the league as well. Networking is huge in the NFL. 

[Steptide]

Lots of over reaction to these interviews. I remember when we hired daboll and people thought it was a bad hire 

[JohnNord]

These are terrible candidates.   Edgar Bennett was garbage in GB

They’re doing what they are required to do. Besides it’s the NFL and unlike any other business. Experience / credentials aren’t the end all be all. The most “ qualified” candidate in a traditional sense doesn’t  always get the job, nor should they. Teams get a sense for a candidate and if they are right for them. They may be a rising star but need a chance to prove it. May just be a gut feeling about a potential hire. 

Sorry but we can't afford to screw around with Allen in his prime.  We already wasted this year with stupidity.  

[BuffaloBillyG]

Means absolutely nothing...but...

This is so freaking cool that we’re looking at minority candidates. I think I like Bennett more than Martin, but wow, these interviews are so way out of left field, but in a really good way. I’m happy with either, honestly.

What the absolute F are we doing. I don't want to hear about the Rooney rule, stop with that, there are minority candidates with better credentials than this like Pep Hamilton. 

Basically this seems like agents getting their clients name out there. The Bills likely already have a top candidate and someone like Pep Hamilton isn't going to waste his time.

Hardly old for a coach... only 8 years older than the guy who just lead the league in TD passes.

I'm starting to think we have a deal in place with Dorsey. These candidates may be great but it just seems like they're getting thru them fast.

And Zay actually learned how to catch a ball under him. 

 

Sign me up!

Both are minority candidates. Could be Rooney Rule guys. Could also be that they plan to promote Chad Hall to OC and are bringing in WR coaches. Could simply mean they are keeping Dorsey and checking the boxes. Who knows lol.

It could equally tell us that Dorsey agreed to stay, but since we HAVE to interview at least 1 minority candidate before making a hire we are doing some guys some favors, and expanding our network, and looking for replacements for some position coaches.
