Bills trying to keep Dorsey as OC

As expected, #Bills are making concerted effort to retain Ken Dorsey. Here’s the issue for Buffalo: I’m told his negotiations with the #Giants revolve around a “big payday” and the strong push of Brian Daboll - who believes Dorsey’s the guy to elevate Daniel Jones.
Just get him

Damn, Dorsey could cost us more than Chris Mara, and he's not half the football mind

No that only applies to HC and GM.

Not true. The NFL expanded the rule to include coordinator positions

I figured the statement of "the guy to elevate Jones" would have 4 or 5 (or ten) posters jumping off of a cliff. But I'm OK with it. I'm sad, I wanted Flores... but here we go! Good luck Daboll!

If you stay and have success with Allen some may say it is only because of Allen and if the Bills do not do as week you take a lot of Blame. Come to NY and turn the offense around then you are on your way to being a head coach candidate.

Lotsa money
Keep in mind Dorsey has never called plays for Buffalo. So  
Blue21 : 1/28/2022 7:37 pm : link
that's an unknown. With the Giants he'll be an OC but his responsibilities may be different. Daboll will still probably call plays much like Shurmur did. Dorsey will be more prep work I imagine. Maybe Buffalo would rather have someone they fully trust to take over all OC duties.

Dorsey comes here, fixes Jones, he'll be gone in 1-2 years as a HC somewhere.

Yeah, I like the Bills (even more now) but Giants play in a market that is larger by a lot. I know there's revenue-sharing but still.

MotownGIANTS : 1/28/2022 7:39 pm : link
takes Jones to his potential and 2nd puts in a system that comes of as sustainable next hot HC candidate ... 3 yr plan can happen in 2.

Allen is established and considered a Daboll acheivment...can only go down if Allen falls off and gets minimal gain even if the level is sustained. If Jones does not blow up not as harsh a hit but if he delivers .... Boom ... low risk high reward and extra $$$$ ... Nice options on the table ....
Dorsey would be HUGE for Jones.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 1/28/2022 7:39 pm : link
This would totally excite me.

The two men responsible for taking a scattershot Wyoming QB and molding him into a top 10 performer.

Open the wallet Mara.

Even if the Giants are offering him a nice raise, it seems to me that the path to an eventual head coaching gig (and true life changing money) would be easier as the offensive coordinator in Buffalo as opposed to here.

It potentially lays out a deflation point from there. If you fix Jones next year, you want there to be some continuity and stability, as stated by Mara and Schoen.

Eli had it with Coughlin and Gilbride and company (after they canned Hufnagel).

Because some people like a challenge. And if he has aspirations to becoming a head coach himself, helping Jones become a productive NFL QB is a huge mark on his resume as a coach. If it doesn't work out, they'll pretty much get to hand-pick their next project in 2023.
It is odd tho  
dancing blue bear : 1/28/2022 8:17 pm : link
money is 1 thing, but if you wanna be a HC staying in Buffalo would appear to be the move. Pretty much 2 more years max of Allen would guarentee it.

I'm not disparaging Jones, here. Buffalo is set up to be in the spot light for the next few years

I would think Buffalo is going to have to find their way a bit. Not saying they won't be good, but who knows if they'll be as good. Allen absolutely sings Daboll's praises. It's a loss for them.
Forget about Jones

Dorsey is likely still learning. He may look at it like he either gets more time with his mentor still with him or he stays in Buffalo and takes the job without a huge portion of his support group. McDermott is a defensive guy. It would be a risk staying because if the offense regresses without Daboll around he’s gonna take the heat.

1. "Big Payday."
2. Do well, revive the offense, help improve Jones' game, and you become a HC candidate. Everyone expects Josh Allen to be great and if he and/or the Bills' offense falls off a bit, it's on you.
3. "Big Payday."
I was wrong on the Rooney Rule - it does apply to the OC/DC

@Schultz_Report
#Giants, per league rules, must also interview at least two minorities for their OC. Will be interesting to see who they bring in. Can’t imagine they want to wait very long.

No, as far as the NFL is concerned, there are only 2 categories, head coach and all others. Buffalo can veto any interview for Dorsey except for head coach. Making his title assistant head coach means nothing.

If in his heart of hearts he’s a Daboll guy more than a McDermott guy he’s gonna sign up to work for the guy he wants to work with, probably believing that he and Daboll can find similar success with the Giants eventually anyway (if he’s confident Josh Allen’s success had plenty to do with he and Daboll).

Haha I was gonna say I remember hearing all these same things about Graham. Even the year we went 6-10, afterwards so many people were paranoid Graham was immediately getting snatched up to be a HC— as though the coordinators on 6-10 teams are often a threat to get poached.

That’s not a “negative counterpoint” at all— you could literally say that about any coordinator ever: “we might end up being really good and winning a super bowl and then other teams are gonna wanna hire our coordinators ☝️ That’s one possible downside of hiring coordinators.”
It would be impressive if Daboll can convince Dorsey  
Heisenberg : 1/29/2022 9:08 am : link
To leave buffalo and Allen for the same position in NY. It would bode well for Daboll being a coach other coaches want to work with.
