Who are some candidates for OC if Brady gets a HC job?

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Frank Reich !!

[BBills83]

Byron Leftwich. He did a nice job working with Brady in Tampa with Arians.

[scuba guy]

This one is easy

 

Jeff Nixon

 

Don't even need to send the jet, jet drive down route 90.

 

And grap the qb from su at the same time: you know a little double dip.

Kevin Stefanski

 

He'd be great. But he is safe in Cleveland by most reports. I also think even if he isn't he could sit out a year, getting paid, and walk into a HC job the following year.

I'm not sure there is a serious candidate on staff myself.

[Nihilarian]

I'd agree with @hondo in seattle that I'd be shocked if Brian Daboll gets hired back in Buffalo for any reason. 

 

As long as we are throwing out "maybes" like Browns HC Kevin Stephanski. I'd like to add Bengals HC Zak Taylor and 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan. 

 

Looking at what Joe Brady has done for this Bills team recently and that the run game has made a huge comeback to NFL offenses I'd be surprised if Joe doesn't get any offers. NY Giants first because of the connection to Ex Buffalo FO Joe Schoen. Raiders, Jags, Cowboys, Colts, Patriots. I'd hate to see the guy go to the NE Patriots.

Bills like to promote from within. My best guess would be Ronald Curry or DJ Mangas.

He was horrible as UBs OC.

The Bills need to hire a former failed offensive HC so they don’t have to worry about them getting poached.

Daboll says hi.

And he is literally Joe Brady's best mate. If Joe Brady leaves to become a HC Mangas will be on his staff.

I was referring to the fact Daboll was a failed OC, who JA got a HC job

I’ll start,  I think the Lions QB coach, Mark Brunell. Former player of Jaguars fame, smart and has gotten a lot out of Goff. I’m assuming he will follow Ben Johnson wherever he ends up. 
 

Coaching Josh Allen might change his mind and get him a HC sooner though. 
 

I hope Brady stays, some continuity would do wonders for the Bills but HC opportunities for assistants coaching elite QBs is an annoying byproduct of success.

With a defensive first HC it’s unlikely we will ever have the continuity on offense we would like. If you’re OC of an Allen led offense and you aren’t getting HC interviews by year 2 you likely shouldn’t be here

We will not bring in any alphas OC’s who are recent HC’s.

If you want continuity, you hire a guy who has failed at HC already.

 

Thats how the Chiefs kept Spags. 

That’s how the Pats kept McDaniels.

I understand that dynamic if the relationship is really that toxic, but sometimes bros get in arguments too. A Daboll reunion with Allen is not a bad thing so long as McD/Daboll can make it work.

Shanny and Taylor, I would think, absolutely get another HC gig if they get fired. Especially if the projected 7 open up. Right now it’s 3.

This.

[BigDingus]

Since the Bills seem to prefer hiring internally, it'll be someone already on the team.

 

Probably a random positional coach.

 

But the Bills should just pay Brady whatever he wants & promise him the HC position if McDermott blows it & gets fired.

This is one issue with having a defensive HC in charge of a franchise with a future HoF QB. The possibility of no stability in the offensive coaching room because they'll be headhunted (or, in Dorsey's case, fired for not meeting expectations).

 

What's the odds on the Bills following the pattern from before and promoting Ronald Curry?

Yay....Josh's 4th OC in 5 years.  Can't wait.  A new offensive playbook every year.  Yay....

It shocks me that Spags hasn’t been hired again.

60 year old retreads are at an all time low around the league. 10 years ago, Spags would have gotten a shot again. 
 

The days of bums like Fisher or Mularkey getting their ninth shot are over.

[hondo in seattle]

I hope Brady doesn't take a HC job this year but does hire & mentor his replacement.
