Help me understand what was wise about letting Dorsey go for a retread like Joe Barry.
The Bills offense weeks 1-10: 3rd in DVOA, 1st in success%, 3rd in EPA/play, 4th in QBR, 3rd in yards/play, 2nd in 3rd down conversion%, and 3rd in red zone efficiency.
It was clearly reactionary. If they had won the game, Dorsey would still be employed. More specifically, if they had not gotten a ST penalty that gave the Broncos a second chance on a missed FG. That’s not good decision-making methodology. You shouldn’t fire someone for someone else’s mistakes.
The Bills have 8 fumbles this year and have lost 7 of them. That’s luck. Miami has twice as many fumbles (16) and only lost 5 of them. That’s bad methodology. You shouldn’t fire someone for having bad luck.
The head coach is a defensive HC, so he’s not going to fire himself. That leaves the OC as the scapegoat, and by god did they scapegoat him.
In 2021, Bills went 2-4 in the middle of the season with 13 turnovers in that stretch, but stuck with Daboll, righted the ship, and barely lost to the Chiefs in the divisional round.
Honestly I doubt he wants to work the rest of the season, but we should hire Dorsey as an offensive consultant. He’s a damn good offensive coach.
He’s destroyed a team’s season two years in a row now. The Broncos were all-in on Rodgers last year, that’s why they hired Hackett whose instructions were basically, “Do whatever the QB wants you to.”
When Rodgers wasn’t available, they desperation traded for Wilson and we all know how that went.
You could also argue he kept the Packers in the, “good not great” category for the last several years too. Yes, he is an incredible QB and played really well. But he also forced the team to invest a lot of money in over-valued players that he wanted around him. And so they didn’t develop any young talent on offense for years, because Rodgers didn’t want to work with them. Now they’re stuck with a completely under-developed offensive skill corps.
They’re getting better (I don’t think Love is great, but I do think they have really good coaching) but he has held at least 2 franchises hostage over the past few seasons.
