Ask Denver how that offensive mind is working out...lol

Why don’t we ask Miami?

I'm not saying its the right mindset.  Personally I think it doesnt matter if the head coach is offensive or defensive.  As long as they are a good coach, surrounded by other good coaches, I think either can succeed.  It just seems that most teams want an offensive minded coach since McVay.

I think he'll get interviews.  I dont think he will get a job.   I fully expect Dorsey to get a long look from Carolina as well.   Has ties to the organization, played college football and was in Buffalo with Dan Morgan.   A lot of connections in Carolina to Dorsey.

All this gets is an eye roll emoji from me.

To play devil's advocate, Frazier is an old breed. But if the Texans hired Lovie Smith then anything is possible.

Exaclty. Gase was a disaster but McDaniel seems competent.  Its the guy not the background. 

[Big Turk]

Been hearing this for many years now.  Never has happened. Likely won't this year either.

[gordong]

I agree with this but the league is absolutely trending on the offensive side of the ball for HC.

I agree but not all do. Jets went defense, Texans went defense, and so did the Bears. 

I think the more consistent theme is youth over experience as many of the recent hires have been on the younger side.  Seems like teams want that guy that is willing to spend 100 hours a week at the job

Do the Patriots get a pick for this being posted again as a topic(every year thing it seems)? Or do they just get another pick regardless? Asking for a friend.

also, the venom in this thread, and in this fanbase in general, for a coordinator whose unit has finished top 10 or better in every season he's been here is WILD

We all care very deeply about something over which we have zero control. Also, while we all know that we couldn’t play at an NFL level, game day coaching is something that a lot fans think that they could do.

[Bills!Win!]

Will he get an interview that lasts 13 seconds??

Yep and it doesn’t work which is why we are bottom of the league every year in defensive scoring.

Yup - and it's also why the team is golfing in late January instead of getting ready for a super bowl.

[Charles Romes]

If he wins the super bowl losing Miller and Hyde he’s certainly a head coach somewhere.  If he goes out in embarrassing fashion like the last two years he stays.  

[BillsVet]

I doubt any franchise is going to go for a defensive coordinator who is 64 when next season starts.  EDIT: It's ageist, yes, but the NFL is a young man's game.  

 

Defensive coordinators as HC's are fewer because it's an offensive game.  Almost 2/3rds of HC's who began the season were not from the defensive side. 

 

It's also a consideration that this is McD's scheme that Frazier manages for him.  Whether that's fair or factors into hiring him.  

 

And, to @BullBuchanan's point, he'll be evaluated on whether that prospective team will invest in defense as much as the Bills have.  And when you're at or near the top in many categories it's hard to quantify how much better he made that unit.  Teams will consider that as well.     

 

Perhaps Houston will hire him after they inevitably fire Lovie Smith and before that David Culley.

Exactly.  What are we giving up this year?  I'm assuming close to 30 ppg.  Have we ever even cracked the top 20 in defensive scoring under Frazier?

Receiving "strong consideration" and an interview opportunity are two different things. Frazier will likely fall into the latter category, again.

Strong Consideration is what they're calling The Rooney Rule nowadays.
