Billz4ever Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 1 hour ago, dave mcbride said: Creative former Patriots offensive coach for a very successful offense who also did a two-year stint at Alabama, where his offense was criticized for being ever-so-slightly underwhelming relative to the year before he arrived. Sound familiar? I doubt it will happen because I expect McDermott to give Dorsey a pass. But I am throwing it out there given the noise that the Pats may go after him and because I’ve been pretty underwhelmed by Dorsey despite the #2 ranking. As Joe B says in his Athletic article, the window ain’t gonna be open long and McDermott got rid of Dennison after one season. If I’m O’Brien and were presented with the option, working with Josh Allen would be a far more attractive proposition than working with Mac Jones. (Also, small point: like Daboll, who has an engineering degree from the U of Rochester, O’Brien is presumably a book-smart guy given that he graduated from Brown.) To reiterate, I strongly doubt this happens given McDermott’s history with assistants (excepting Dennison, who was actually terrible) and the excuse making that’s currently going on inside the organization regarding this season’s outcome.

It’s foolish to wait until the end of the season to realize Hines should have been factored in the offense more. Sometimes I get the impression that the sequence of events is like this: McDermott - try to get McCafferty or Hockenstien Beane - here have Hines McDermott - I don't want Hines on offense, does he do special teams? Beane - probably, give him a shot at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least doesnt do it well. He isnt much of an offensive "guru", as much as he is a nice leader who isnt much of a threat to Pederson (the real play caller). I wouldnt mind him as QB coach actually. Someone to help keep Josh level. But that isnt going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't hear Josh say anything different about Dorsey than what I've heard him say in the past. And given how little Dorsey even tried to piece Beasley into the offense, I don't even know why they even bothered bringing him back.

That's who they were going with anyway, so he's just towing the company line. And as far as Beasley, again, no point even bringing him back.

clayboy54 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 What the heck do we know about hiring coordinators? First, everybody says we need a young offensive mind. We got one. Now, everybody says let's hire O'Brien, an older retread with a bad attitude. Thank goodness he went to NE. What logic is there in fishing for coordinators? You just have to pick a guy with some experience that matched the concept of putting your players in the bast position to succeed. The only thing you cannot do is to pick a guy that wants the players to conform to his scheme. If we do that, Josh will fail to progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franks problem is that he's not HC material, but as OC he could be very good. He's a really good X's and O's guy. If Frank washes out from his HC interviews, I would have him on speed dial.

Big Blitz Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 It’s more likely Joe Brady gets the OC job if they move on from Dorsey. I would think outside the box but as I’ve always said about defensive head coaches - especially ones now on the hot seat - they aren’t going to hire their potential replacements.

RiotAct Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I’m not ready to give up on Dorsey quite yet… see if he evolves year 2. Frazier, however, can go take a hike. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
