I understand the worries with Sean at the helm, but I am also scared of Terry making these decisions given the field of available candidates. Ben Johnson is clearly a top notch offensive mind, but we are far from having things fixed just by virtue of naming that guy head coach, and the room for decline is a LOT more spacious than the room for improvement with the Bills of the last 3 years Let's assume Terry does clean house. If I were Terry, I would look to organizations that know how to draft and develop their own players very well. Someone from the Eagles, Ravens, 49ers as an example. Those are some of the teams who have a reputation as having some of the best management teams in the league. That is who I would look to hire from. Hire them to run the football ops. Let them make the decision on hiring the new GM. Then both he and the new GM can hire the new HC. 7 minutes ago, Virgil said: To be clear, we want a Detroit Lions offensive coordinator as our Head Coach?

Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 My goodness. Why do we always have to fire everyone when they have a bad game or a bad stretch? I will never understand this. There may be a discussion at the end of the season but ups and downs are part of an NFL season. We’ll see how they respond to this. 1 1 Quote

DapperCam Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Allen is a top 2-3 QB in the league in his prime. We are in a unique position to be able to hire the top coaching candidate if we go that way. 1 Quote

Terry does not want to let Rex Ryan out of the building. Terry was fooled by Ralph Krueger's slimy sales pitches. Terry doesn't actually know much about football and we should be worried whenever the time comes for him to pick the next guy. 1 Quote

Forgot his name. Dropped off the face of the earth. Freddie Kitchens? How about we go and get Jim Tomsula? Quote

78thealltimegreat Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 With the defensive injuries I think regardless if they lost every game McDermott would be back… Ben Johnson is going to want to be a head coach so that would be a sticking point. If you want a new offensive coordinator to take over you’re going to have to look for someone who would be available for the Bills. The guy who maybe looking to move up and might be perfect for this team is Brian Griese the QB coach in San Francisco. 1 Quote

He would be satisfied with anyone who can hand the ball off, not take sacks, and get close enough to the end zone so they can kick a field goal. He has one of the most effective running quarterbacks in NFL history, and he wants him to be a pocket passer. Quote

Livinginthepast Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Well Johnson used to be the world's fastest man! and the Bills could benefit from a round of Stanozolol! Quote

And we're not moving on from McD, unless this team really collapses. But the key here is what defines a "collapse"? To me not making the playoffs would potentially count as a collapse depending on the circumstances. But if Allen stays relatively healthy and we win less then 10 games and miss the playoffs I would call it a "collapse" from where we have been the last 4 seasons. In that situation I would support Pegula taking the very risky move of firing McD & Bean and placing the franchise under the control of offensive minded coaches & GM. We may only have peak Allen for 5 more years. 1 1 Quote
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 I like Johnson but I don't think it makes sense to have Allen learn from scratch and switch to the WCO language when he's spent his entire career in the more-efficient Erhardt-Perkins language. I want an offensive HC but I think EP language is the way to go for Buffalo. Quote

4merper4mer Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 48 minutes ago, FrenchConnection said: Ben Johnson has a lot of the same problems that Dorsey has. His offense is Goff and St. Brown. St. Brown is getting around 12 catches a game while everyone else has less than 5. They're struggling to work Jameson Williams and Jamir Gibbs into the offense. Everyone loved Sam LaPorta, but he has not gotten the ball in the past two games at the same rate. If that was the Bills, you would be yelling about the scheme. I'm not saying that he's not a good OC, but you have to look at his offense with the same level of criticism as you do the Bills offense and Dorsey. Dude they almost scored 10 points just yesterday. Obviously Ben Johnson is the answer to everything. Quote
Einstein Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 25 minutes ago, DrDawkinstein said: Bold thread the day after Ben Johnson's offense managed to score a total of 6 points. Why even post this? Every coach will have a dud now and then. The key is not having them repeatedly. Ben is the hottest coach in the world right now because of incredibly consistent and inventive his offense has been.
