I'd like to see a little backup on this statement.  2022 Head Coaches.  Contention: 17 or more of them call offensive plays.  Go.

 

 

It's not true so he won't be able to do that. Untruths are quite big on this board today.

Hire Within?

It’s going to be the guy we just brought in from Carolina. 

 

If he's from Carolina, is that sort of hiring from within? 😉

Why ???

So he can run down the sideline like a chicken with his head cut off and waste timeouts while killing our drive stopping Defensive plays…..repeatedly 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Actually maybe he’ll be too busy calling plays to do that stuff.

If he does call plays, then he goes on the hot seat if the defense fails again. 

That’s exactly the point. Time to produce or move in from him. 

[MrEpsYtown]

Curious to see if he reaches out to Manny Diaz, who is his close buddy. 
 

Sean Desai is an interesting name, though it looks like he may wind up in Philly. He’s a Fangio guy so those 4-3 under concepts may meld. 
 

I like the Jim Leonard idea, though the defense would probably change a bit. 
 

Chris Shula (his uncle is on staff) is starting to become a bit of a hot name in the league, but he shouldn’t jump Butler or Babich imo.

 

Kris Richard is another guy who would be interesting.

Better hope it’s not manny Diaz. . He has zero experience calling plays in the NFL and a mediocre resume in college.

Why would Frazier "retain the title" if he isn't coaching?

Just for show. As for a new guy, they will give a title to someone already in the organization. I wouldn’t mind someone such as Jim Leonhard being brought in but don’t expect it at this point.

He sorta kinda has! As @BADOLBILZ can tell you, he was the only player capable of running the overly complex Rex scheme from an on-field perspective, and he did it for years. Without him, Rex's defenses cratered.

Sounds like we won't have a DC. Sean is going to call the defense. Personally I think that's a mistake. But there you go. 

 

At this point, I'm afraid that retaining Sean McDermott - period - is a mistake.

 

Regular season success, aside, this team has been an absolute shitshow since the day he came to Buffalo.

[Thrivefourfive]

It has be be a guy with experience. This is Rookie ball. And it can’t be McDermott because he has way too much on his plate as the HC, which he’s had some questions game day calls already. Just playing process of elimination here.

I want Sean McDermott to call plays. 

That's exactly what will happen. Holcomb will be his assistant and that's it. I bet McD wants to prove that he can make this a playoff defense and I'm hoping and believing it will be a much more aggressive one.

[MrEpsYtown]

Ron Rivera just called Sean McDermott a very aggressive playcaller on NFL network

Jim Leonhard....

He's called Defensive signals on the field though...set the D on almost every team he played for...and I bet he had the right to adjust/audible 

[MrEpsYtown]

Last name I will throw out there, Brendan Daley the linebackers coach from the Chiefs. He was brought into the NFL as a member of Leslie Frazier’s staff in Minnesota, coached on Belichick’s staff for the Patriots and for the Rams and Chiefs under Steve Spagnolo. He is the type of guy with experience under a number of different big time regimes defensive systems who could have great potential as a DC. He also has 4 Super Bowl rings.

KISS UP!!!     😋

[Eastport bills]

I think Brian Flores would be a good DC. Whether the Bills core defensive players would agree is unknown. He’s got a rep as an old school, military disciplinarian. That’s polar opposite from Frazier. I’m anxious to see Sean’s selection.

Hire Within? 

 

WHO DO YOU WANT!?

I wonder if Von has a say into the decision?
