I could be wrong, but I think the teams can no longer block a promotion to coordinator with another team.

Any other assistant, it can be "you're under contract, Sorry"

 

That's not to say that the Bills wouldn't release someone for a move they perceive as a development opportunity, but my point is it's not like Daboll gets to sit there looking at the Bills assistant coaches like a Chinese menu he can select from for any position.

 

 

 

 

This

 

Right but McDermott I think but in my opinion would talk to the coaches first. He wouldn't block them if they want to leave.  But IMO.

Right . It is good to do due diligence

McD has let a few other assistant coaches take promotions elsewhere. I doubt he’d block guys unless it he either didn’t see an available upgrade or Daboll was basically raiding the staff. In any case, Bennett would be a nice addition to the staff if he’s stuck floating after the Raiders hired McDaniels.

My point is, these Giants guys (and others) don't seem to have the memo that the NFL rule change applied to COORDINATOR POSITIONS.

So Bobby Johnson could interview as Daboll's offensive coordinator, and the Bills couldn't block it.

 

But Daboll does not get to bring up the list of assistant coaches and say "I'll have Chad Hall as my WR coach and Bobby Johnson as my OL coach and and and...." 

 

It could still happen, if the Bills bring in a new OC who wants to bring in some of his own assistants, OR if, as you say, McDermott talks to the coaches and decides to let them go.

 

But it's the Bills choice

Maybe they are promoting Hall and are also looking at these candidates potentially to be the new WR coach.

Making Hall the DC. Can it be worse?

[Chaos]

At this point, Allen should just take over punting and OC duties.  And probably call the defensive plays when he is on the sideline.

That might be a realistic point.

 

Generally, I don't get why this board is going crazy.  Let OBD do their job and wait to see what happens.

Probably too much to ask.

 

Nobody knows what's going on behind closed doors.

I can see Daboll trying to take the entire offensive staff with him it’s literally the only place he’s ever been successful as an OC

Has he?  Who?

 

Bill Teerlinck did a lateral move (maybe a step down) from Bills DL coach to VT DL coach, but it was commonly believed he allowed Teerlinck the "face saving" step of taking a new job vs. firing him to make room for Eric Washington, who had just lost his coaching job with the Panthers.  Similar "face saving" with David Culley taking a more-or-less lateral move to "assistant head coach, passing game coordinator, and WR coach" to bring in Ken Dorsey

 

McDermott fired Rick Dennison after the 2017 season and "Teflon" Juan Castillo after the 2018 season.  He fired Terry Robiskie after one season in 2018.

 

I'm trying to think of who else has left?

He Can't.  Beane and McDermott are not going to allow this, and he can only hire one OC and one DC.

I’m just saying I can see him trying as about a month ago people wanted Bobby Johnson run out of town

Buddy would have been better served to listen to the fans.

He was one of the worst GMS in Bills history you probably want to use someone else as a reference

Is the quote correct, or is the quote not correct?

Depends on the situation….and see the oline during the Jaguars game where we made the other Josh Allen look like Lawrence Taylor

This.  Quit pining for Palmer, folks - the man wants to live in a beach house in S. Cali and give Zoom interviews, not work hectic 100-112 hr weeks in less salubrius settings for 5 or (hopefully) 6 months a year with intense scrutiny and accountability every week

And josh couldn’t work with him as much in the off-season if he was on staff.  That’s important, too.

I am not trying to be racist, but isn't league rule that you have to interview non-white people for all coaching jobs? Hard to say such things without sounding racist, I assure you all that it's not my intent.

I believe it only applies to Head Coaching positions, and as of the 2020 off-season, co-ordinators
