interviewing guys you've known for several years. You know the man and how he coaches. I guess the only thing left is to ask what exactly their philosophy would be if they had the keys to the castle...
candidates this year. Pederson (who has the mcdermott connection) and Quinn are viable. Harbough seems unlikely but you never know. If he is interested do you turn down that interview?
but in the end Daboll and Flores are going to be the most familiar, while each checking a lot of boxes.
I am really getting excited. I am actually proud of how Mara and co have handled this. I hope things are finally changing internally. It’s going to be a fun offseason!
Personally if your looking for a HC, there are some key areas you are looking for imo. He better be a true leader, Highly motivational, clear communicator, extremely competitive, and no nonsense type. Someone in mold of Belichick, Coughlin, Parcells.. Idk, I don't really see some of those key traits in Daboll, He might be an excellent OC, but head coach is another level.
with Flores is who is his OC. Easier to find good DC’s than OC’s. Also easier to replace a DC than an OC. Also easier to install a defense than an offense. So when an OC leaves, it’s a a more difficult problem. So I prefer Daboll who’s an offensive minded coach over Flores. Plus, Flores appears to be more different to work than Daboll - at least from a distance.
Just based on what he could get out of a very mediocre Dolphins roster this year that had every excuse to give up at 1-7. Not sure how many coaches can do that.
Outside of him, I like Daboll. That Bills offense is fun to watch and there is no doubt they are getting every ounce of talent out of Josh Allen.
The interview had to be done today, didn’t it? The Bills travel tomorrow and if they win Sunday, he can’t be interviewed until the Bills lose or after the super bowl if they win it.
Flores has an interesting back story and family.....
I thought about Schoen and the current Bills pass game coordinator would spring to mind as a good candidate. Ken Dorsey.
Going to be very curious how this all plays out.
I and BW have alluded to this before. My understanding is that Dorsey had a lot to do with Allen’s development. I would love to see him get the OC position.
off-season. Wouldn’t hate Flores hire but not sure how they make the OC work. Joe Brady has the highest upside among free agent OCs, but he’s a big gamble.
Limited prep time for Daboll. Guess his thoughts on the past mess here and this roster were not needed. This season maybe a complete scrap, and they will move on quickly from the majority of this roster.
In the past, the approach was more of how can the coach fix what’s in-place.
Good thing build from ground up, wonder how patient the fans will be here though.
Can Daboll handle the New York media? After the last melt down
McDermott can run the defensive walk through/mtgs tomorrow AM.
Don’t worry. It will be misspelled that way soon enough and in other ways on here consistently!
It’s got potential to go into BBI Misspelling Hall of Fame.

Both owners were in the same meeting
It was more for the owners to get to know him.

Same as these YouTube pronunciations:

Me too
Oh for fucks sake

Further confusion. The correct German pronunciation is "Shurn" with a soft 'r'.

Now Flores + Dorsey is interesting.
Better yet, figure out why Favre is pronounced Farve

But Dorsey intrigues me more. Reminds me of a younger Jim Fassel. He’s likely destined to be a HC some day. I believe his dad was a coach.
Flores
Dorsey
Fangio / Graham
I can dig something like that.
Also he doesn’t have to pretend to know the fan base or “NY toughness”. He doesn’t have to understand the NYC market and media. He is it. He lived it.

And most importantly, he really wants to be here
