Webb is not our QB coach. Speculation was wrong

Should be Tierney with Webb as assistant QB coach.  If Tierney's smart, like Dorsey was, he'll stay with the Bills.  And so will Webb.  Although I'm sure the pay from being a player to an assistant QB coach is a major downgrade.

Maybe, but the health benefits are great!

[BearNorth]

According to SPOTRAC, Webb only makes around $240K on the practice squad, so Asst coach may pay nearly as well.

 

He has been on an active roster for at least 1 game in each of the last 5 years, not sure if that qualifies him for a player pension or not.

 

He did make $165k for the one game where he took kneel downs when Mitch had COVID

Tierney took the QB coach job with the Giants.  Next man up!

Not really.  And actually it wasn't a surprise.  Daboll brought him from Alabama and Josh's success is mostly due to others.  Tierney might as well try his hand with Jones.

Most anticipate Tierney to follow Dabs to NYG. Dabs brought him in from Alabama.

He's Dabolls right hand man. He came to Buffalo with Daboll.

I know, I correctly predicted he'd join Daboll in NY in the who will Daboll take with him thread, but now the Bills have to bring someone in from outside & I'm not happy about it.

We all know it isn't a surprise...

 

My point with the domino's falling is that there will be movement on all of the positions now...

So Joe Brady for QB coach.  Cool.

 

And I knew what you were getting at, but when a coach gets promoted to HC, he usually tries to poach assistants.  Washington's contract was up and frankly it's addition by subtraction.  I don't know what Tierney's contract status was, but again as I said, he wasn't getting the credit for Josh so there's no calling card for him to move up through the ranks like a Daboll or Dorsey.  If he can make something of Daniel Jones though...

 

And at best, Daboll might be able to take 1 positional coach (Babich?) to be DC for him, and maybe an assistant.

[RyanC883]

If Brady is QB Coach, is Webb the backup QB assuming Mitch leaves?

[Albany,n.y.]

Still the easiest way to get a job with the Bills is to have Carolina Panthers on your resume.  

[WotAGuy]

I’m hearing Webb is in line for the Texans HC job. 

[Max Fischer]

I don't understand the logic of this post. 

 

I would think not securing a futures contract is additonal proof Davis will not play next year and be available to take a position with the Bills.

Um.  $240k is way more than a practice squad guy like Webb makes.

Players with two or fewer accrued NFL seasons earn at least $9,200 per week, which equals $165,600 for 18 weeks spent on the practice squad. (A player accrues a season when they are on full-time pay status for at least six regular-season games).  Players with more than two accrued seasons make a minimum of $14K per week and $252K for the whole season. For comparison, the minimum salary for a rookie on an active roster this season is $660K.

An Accrued Season is a single season with 6 or more regular-season games on "full pay status", meaning active roster or IR

 

I'm unclear on whether games where the player was elevated from PS then returned after the game count towards accrued seasons, but either way it's a moot point; despite being drafted in 2017, Webb only has 2 games in 5 years.

 

So Webb made $165k plus $36,700 (one game at NFL minimum) or about $200k.

 

Which is still more than most of the US population earns.

 

It's my understanding that a full position coach, such as an RB coach, or a QB coach, could make $200-400k, but that his assistants (assistant QB coach, offensive assistant) might be paid more in the 5-figure range, $40-50k since these are kind of considered an apprenticeship.

Said to be hiring Joe Brady

Getzenberg/ESPN is usually pretty reliable.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills are hiring former Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady as the team's new quarterbacks coach, a source confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.

 

Brady was fired by Panthers coach Matt Rhule in December after almost two years with the franchise. A year ago, Brady landed interviews for head-coaching jobs with the Jets, Eagles and Falcons. He was a finalist for the Atlanta job, but the team ultimately hired Arthur Smith.

With the Panthers, Brady worked with a variety of quarterbacks, including Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold and Cam Newton. Prior to that, he was the passing game coordinator at LSU during the 2019 national championship season, working with now-Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

Guess where he went to college....

[ColoradoBills]

So with the Joe Brady signing back to an OL coach and an Assistant GM to sign.

[CincyBillsFan]

Signing Brady is huge. 

 

My understanding was that he was an offensive quality control gopher for the Saints when he impressed then LSU coach Ed Orgeron after he presented a seminar on creating a successful NFL style passing attack.  He was promptly hired as the passing coordinator for LSU (they already had an offensive coordinator).  Brady went to a college with NO history of being a passing program and in one summer molded a transfer QB named Joe Burrow and a couple of unknown WR's named Chase & Jefferson into the greatest passing attack in College football history.

 

After that one record setting season he was hired as offensive coordinator for the Panthers and then fired (thrown under the bus) a year later.  It was clear Brady was promoted to quickly to NFL offensive coordinator.   Now the Bills are getting a real talent that understands how to create an explosive and effective NFL passing attack. This might be the most important off season coaching hire by the Bills in years.

Asst. GM will almost certainly be an internal move, and there is no rush.

 

OL coach is a highly anticipated signing…
