I suspect the Pegula daughters will have no reservations about the team taking a flyer on this dude.

Assuming he's filling the spot that was opened by Bobby Babich moving to LB coach

Doesn't make funny faces like young Belichick, does he?  Better not. 🤨

Yep. Something I find interesting is we have a Defensive Backs coach (John Butler), a safeties coach, and a nickel coach (Jim Salgado). But not a CB coach. 

[In Summary]

Born in '93 if I have it right. Great opportunity for him especially with Hyde/Poyer.

Does anyone know what position he is taking on the Bills' staff?  Looks like he has coached DBs in the past.

Is this Pat shurmur’s nephew, or Mike Shanahan’s second cousin?

seems like S, his profile shows S coach

makes sense since Babbich moved from S to LB coach

[HOUSE]

If I remember right he was also an assistant coach at Houston Episcopal High School

 

I believe in high school, he was a three-year letter winner and two-time All-District Safety at Elkins High School.

 

Not sure but I think he helped lead EHS to the first playoff game in nine years.

It would be a huge stretch for him to coach anything besides safety.  He's really young anyway, but his only college experience is coaching safety.

I know there was some dating between TE Jason Croom and one of the daughters.  Don't understand the comment otherwise.

This is an unusual request so I needed a visual aid to envision talking to you.

Yeah........it was......the new coach is objectively handsome......a clear violation of the "Mark Davis Rule" on fair hiring practices...........your mind is in the gutter.

 

 

 

 

Gronk to Buffalo hijack!

[Florida Bills Fanatic]

This could be a prelude to adding some more young DB's in the draft and making sure that they have enough resources to teach and develop them.  Mc D and Beane don't do things like this without something specific in mind.

Minority hire. Bills didn’t even have to go through the NFLs interview protocols. Do we get any draft picks for this?

   Why would they have any say in the coaching staff?  They have as much say in coaching hires as the Loch Ness Monster.
