There are a lot of questions around McD. The standards have changed since he was hired. He’s a good coach. But I’m not sure if he can get us to a SB parade. I sure hope he does.

 

I have watched the Pegulas take 12 years to turn the Sabres around (hopefully). Because of that and the fact that I think more coaches are worse than McD than are better than him, replacing him is terrifying. 

I'm not a daboll fan boy either,  he had real stinkers as well. Something happens to this team in the middle part of the year,  every year where it's real hard for the offense and then one of the units collapses in the playoffs.  To me I just see that as an inability to quickly adjust when the defense figures or how to stop us and a mental aspect where we struggle in big spots...

Thank you for saying this.

 

Done.

 

As a member of the Doesn't Know When To Quit Club, I felt like it was needed!

 

You're welcome!

yes, Josh knockin’ up a barmaid and Brittney leaving him are all over the rumor threads. That the barmaid was Diggs’ (ex)gf is news. 
Not sure how you could have missed that part. But you’re typically pretty insightful so I’ll give you a pass on that one.

 

I blame Diggs.

 

I blame Josh and his Hide the Wild Pickle Adventure from the bar to the boudoir 😂

Yeah, you're right, that one seems to be new.

If an NFL teams director of personnel, that is actively talking to numerous coaches in an effort to find someone, is not a credible source for information on what coaches are interested in moving on from their current team, then the only source you’re likely to accept as credible is Daboll himself.

 

Anyone can make a claim.  I'd need to see more people making this claim and from people who didn't totally botch the HC hiring process like the Giants did.

 

As for Daboll, what was he unhappy about and where was he going to go as OC if he left the Bills?  He was a failed OC until Josh developed, mostly thanks to his own efforts.

Everyone knows Daboll was looking to move on from his current team - as a HC. 

It's entirely plausible that there was conflict with McDermott - McDermott pretty much made that clear in pressers at times.  I believe at the time this came out, an NFL executive was quoted as saying "that's not uncommon".

 

When it shows up as part of a recruiting pitch made to a HC candidate as part of a lawsuit about "sham" interviews, why do you find it credible as evidence that Daboll was actually looking to make a lateral move?  It's not that the director of pro personnel wouldn't be plugged in and have sources, it's the context of what was said when and to whom.

 

Edit: to anyone sensible and wanting actual discussion to whom this isn't clear: recruiters can be known to play a little fast and loose with the truth in the cause of landing their guy.  If McDonnell, the Giants co-director of player personnel  (not director of personnel) was trying to persuade Flores to come on a sham interview for HC thus helping them look like they're seriously considering several minority candidates (but Flores isn't someone they actually would hire), McDonnell can say what he likes because he stands ZERO chance of being asked to deliver on those "mights" about recruiting Daboll as Flores OC. 

 

And even if they were serious about considering Flores - "might be interested" "might be able to get out" is hardly definitive proof that Daboll was seriously looking at lateral positions.  And McDonnell is well protected by all those "mights": "Never said he was looking for a lateral move, only thought he MIGHT be, seems he wasn't."

Right @Warriorspikes51........because Beck Water is former moderator Happless Bills fan.    The mod who issued 90% of the boards hater points in it's entire history in just a handful of years.    She tried to hide in plain sight as Beck.......but it didn't work.    Wawrow wouldn't hide well either.   Too obvious.   

 

You simply can never resist taking a shot, which is why I must defer to your intimate familiarity with "hater points".  You would, indeed, know all about that!

I don’t follow how that makes sense?

 

The Giants would be telling Flores, who is interviewing for their job, bogus information about ANOTHER candidate wanting to leave Buffalo?

 

It just doesn’t fit.

Good point.  It's not like they'd do, say, a bogus interview with him...

It can't be explained. Because it makes no sense.

Huh?  How is being duplicitous with a sham interview relevant to making claim about Daboll wanting to leave even for a lateral move?  Gee, I don't know...

The Daboll information was sent to Flores before the Giants ever interviewed Daboll.

 

So in your mind, the Giants had already decided they wanted to hire Daboll before ever interviewing him, and therefore decided to conduct a sham interview with Flores, and part of their scheme to conduct this sham interview with Flores, they pretended that Daboll (who they already decided to hire before ever interviewing him) would be open to making a lateral move that he wasn't actually willing to make?

 

That makes sense to you?

It is not CIA level, but there was definitely a cover up.

 

Diggs was not excused.
