Hypothetically… Brian Daboll gets the boot….

What would you do?

If Dorsey doesn't evolve over the season, you definitely bring back Daboll or just fire Dorsey and hire someone else.  

 

While there have been some good things has done the past 2 weeks, there are still too many debacles like throwing it on 4th and inches when your QB is Josh Allen and him sneaking the ball on 4th and inches is without question going to have the highest success rate by a mile over any other play they can call.

Where’s option C, get somebody else?

Daboll had a bunch of these boneheaded calls too, which is why I didn't like him much either.  Personally, I don't mind Daboll as OC but I think if we do anything we should hire a different OC and change up this predictable offense some.

All I know is McD called McDaniel’s scheme “revolutionary” in the presser today. He’s scheming all sorts of creative ways to get guys the ball, a lot of misdirection, sleight of hand, magical stuff. No one is calling the Bills offense revolutionary or innovative. I think they could be so much more and I’m not a Dorsey hater. BUT it is extremely tough finding that guy who is a schematic genius. Panthers thought Joe Brady was one, now he’s in Buffalo as a QB’s coach after his failure.

I think people forget how maddening Daboll could be at times. 

 

Abandoning the run game. All the cute calls. Nah, that ship has sailed IMO. 

 

If Dorsey were to move on for some reason I would want someone else that can teach Josh and the offense things they haven't learned. New perspective. 

[Dablitzkrieg]

Why?  This is dumb

[Aussie Joe]

Whoever they bring in will still be blamed every time they lose a game 

[Roundybout]

No, I don’t think you can create a Vance Joseph situation

I think Dorsey is figuring some things out for himself still. 
 

Unsure if he’s ever going to be “the man”. But there are some things I like about this offense that I found frustrating under Daboll.

 

For all the “Josh can’t do it all” Daboll asked Josh to…well…it all. 

[LeGOATski]

I like Daboll as an OC more than Dorsey, so I choose that, although I don't think this is a realistic scenario and I also might prefer a third option.

I would love to bring Daboll back, but realistically I can't see McBeane disrespecting Dorsey like that. Imho.

[Success]

After the 1st 3 words, I instantly thought "yes!"

 

So, there ya go.

 

[Peter]

I am amazed at how some still continue to blame Dorsey for everything from inflation to the war in the Ukraine.

 

In the past, I have posted links comparing the Bills offense in 2022 under Dorsey v. 2021 under Daboll. To those who take every opportunity to whinge about Dorsey, you can look it up yourselves.

Dorsey's questionable decision making forces the offense to work harder than it should. The little motion he does call just doesn't create mismatches. The gadget sweeps to Harty have been worthless. And our personnel does not excel at YAC, so why so many throws behind the LOS.  Daboll wasn't perfect but he was more creative than KD.

[Warcodered]

I don't want to wish bad on the guy and realistically they probably give Daboll another year anyway, but if he doesn't how about we think positive and think there will be a spot open for him when a team takes Dorsey off our hands after we win it all.

[Rc2catch]

I would not bring Daboll back. 
He is a phenomenal coach imo but the best move he made was bringing Kafka in to call plays over there. 
I was done with Dabolls playcalling and I would not enjoy seeing it return, I just wasn’t a fan. It’s no knock on him, I think he’s very intelligent at designing plays and building a playbook around his playmakers.
