Dennison yup and I think was a "I couldn't get anyone else" and was gone after a/McD's first year.  Crossman he inherited and was gone after year 2.  So that's 2 of the 4 within McD's first 2 years.  Dorsey, yup but was also gone fairly quickly and in time to salvage the season.

 

Dennison was McDermott's 4th choice. It isn't an opinion that getting decent OCs to come to Buffalo to coach Tyrod Taylor was difficult. It's a proven fact. 

 

His first choice was Mike McCoy though who sucks far worse than Dennison. Dennison is a good coach who knows football but is a pretty meat and potatoes play caller, McCoy is trash. 2nd choice was Rob Chudzinski but he decided to stay with the Colts. 3rd choice was Brad Childress, who might have been a decent short term option, but the Chiefs wouldn't let him interview (this was the era when every assistant job was considered a lateral move).

It is a good film but they have had good films on coaches who have been let go.  

 

They need a satire one of Rex with a mask on being lackadaisical talking about hiring coaches to do the job so he can do the things he wants to like watching baseball games.  The Bills won't but maybe someone will put together one to demonstrate their production and directing skills and post it on Youtube or on a football blogger site.

I know they are hype pieces from the in-house media team as much as anything but I just watched this and the Joe Brady one from a week or so back. Confirms what @Kirby Jackson and I were discussing yesterday IMO. They are both exactly the sort of personality that NFL owners are wanting to hire at the moment as Head Coaches. It won't take a ton of success for the Bills in the next year or so for both of them to be right at the top of interview wish lists in the next couple of hiring seasons.

The Dennison hire was completely odd annd never seemed like a long term from the start.   Unlike Leslie Frazier he had no connections to McDermott.  Also his West Coast offense was a poor match for a QB like Tyrod.  
 

McDermott gets a ton of crap got passing on Mahomes but it’s no wonder he didn’t want to place his coaching future with Rick Dennison grooming his franchise QB.

Cmon man, haven’t you heard, Babich was only hired to be the sacrificial lamb.  Why would he be hired over a DC with play calling experience? Get with the program.

It's in the best interest of the team to have a career position coach to be calling the plays?

 

lol, come on.  McD smells something sour brewing and he's heading from the kitchen to the living room...

You were obviously right.  Great take

Are we digging up hot takes now?  Why would you invite such abuse??

You see it as abuse.  I see it as being wrong.  Something I have no problem admitting.

For you it’s self abuse.

Anyway, I’m not wrong yet on this one.  Dig it up again after the season. 

You may yet get that W

Yeah- you were wrong the second you said it-  

 

McDermott hired Babich because he smelled something sour brewing and babich was his new sacrificial lamb…..  it’s a pathetic take.  But do what you do

Babich has been incredible. I don’t mind @Mr. WEO hot take, we all have them and we’ve all been wrong. The fact that we’re all so critical of each other here is the reason why traffic here is dwindling.

Who cares if you “mind it” or nots. It’s a bad take—-McDermott only hired babich because he thought they might suck and babich would be his scapegoat.  
 

People say critical things on message boards….this one too.  It’s been this way since day 1.  Dude that I quoted is top 5 most critical posters here.  He only chimes in to tell people they are wrong.  Get a grip

I don’t have the energy to argue with you. There’s a reason why very few people start new threads here anymore. Some posters are like a pack of dogs.

Yes- and the guy that I quoted was the leader of the dog pack.  Only exists here to be combative.  
 

I won’t apologize for taking a receipt on a stupid hot take.  Do you think McDermott hired Babich as DC because he felt like we were in for a bad season and babich would serve as the scapegoat 

[Richard Noggin]

If I declare my appreciation for recent Bills defensive success, do I get to emphasize Babich's impact on them prior to the 49ers matchup? He must have novel approaches in mind. We must have unique gameplans available to us. We allow for major changes, as necessary.

Neither was LT or Reggie White

 

Von has even said he would sometimes use big chunks of game time to set a player up thinking he was playing him one way only to later pull a move out from his book of moves to catch him sleeping and go by him for a sack which is 1 thing having a heavy rotation can't let a player do ..

 

Use to be the same with RB's, back in the day RB's use to say they would need to get into the flow of the game by getting quite a few carries under their belt to know how the opposition was going to play them and use that in some ways against them for big gains in the ground game .

 

But those days for now are gone until it comes back around to a coach and player tandem that realizes the back needs to get warmed up in order to figure out a D and how to run against them then it will come full circle, in some ways like the running game has this season .

I do got to respectfully ask- How do you think babich has been incredible?

 

The bills before the chiefs game were the 18th ranked scoring defence, which is wild to me for a Sean McDermott defence. I get they have had injuries, but under almost every year the bills have had major injuries on defence . (Last year being worse)

 

The turnovers the defence gets are A plus, but I'm genuinely curious how fans and media think babich has been awesome.

 

Is it context because it's his first year on the job? Is it because the turnovers?

 

In saying that, I do think he had by far his best game against the chiefs last week as it was impressive
