I'm just here for dcwilson40's reaction.
My son resembles this .... smartest kid in the room by far...but basic task execution eludes him.
just wanna have fun
I'm with you. We are who we are at this point, idk who else we could expect anyway. Hearing the word "innovative" tied with a potential hire is a good thing IMHO
So we're leaning into becoming an NFL team? /s
Few more faves:
I dig it. His W&M offenses were insanely fun to watch. I just want our offenses to be fun. We've had fun offenses in 2010, 2016, and the back half of 2023. I just wanna have fun.
Only with the Bills this season, and as a Defensive Quality Control coach.
16 years coaching in college almost exclusively on offensive side. Was a QB in college. Most of years coaching are with W&M and San Diego. Started at W&M in 2008/2009 and came back as OC from 2020/2023. Looks like a total of 7 years as OC.
If he was the OC at W&M then he has recruiting ties in the footprint/6 hr radius.
Not much OC experience, and fairly recent. Not sure we would have been happy with the hire if direct from W&M - but maybe the NFL experience helps. Not sure of his role there. Not trying to imply I want this to not happen just by starting all my sentences with not.
We have started going more and more to making our own dressings. Most are really quick and easy, especially if you have a stick blender, and taste as least as good as the shelf stable ones with the added "flavor" and preservatives. We make a few out of the yogurt listed above, a few aioli based including caesar, and a bunch of vinegar and oil combinations. Usually make about a cup at a time every 2-3 weeks, which keeps a couple in the fridge most of the time.
After careful consideration and communication with my wife, we have decided that, if offered, I would decline the position of Assistant Coach with the Bills.
Have you seen his record at Akron, there's a decent chance he loses hi s job anyways
Another one, yes!
A classic!

This and Cat Fud are my favorites.
This has always been one of my favorites.....
Let's all enjoy this while its a scholarship sport.
"There's at most 20ish 'sure things' out there"... That's an opinion. What I want is an upgrade from Bowen and Marve. Why you ask? because with Bowen and Marve we lose alot of games. I'd like to start winning. The overwhelming chance of finding an upgrade is hiring an upgrade... not hoping that someone nobody has heard of is the next Vick Fangio or Kyle Shannahan. That is the definition of insanity.
He's definitely an improvement. Not sure he'll be great here, but he will be an improvement.
So you want to hire a sure thing... we don't have 'sure thing' money. There's at most 20ish 'sure things' out there, and for the most part they are rapidly climbing the ladder/chasing money.
But it seems like we do have money to hire an experienced coordinator. Neal Brown is just that. He spent 6 years as an OC (2 at Troy, 2 at Texas Tech, 2 at Kentucky, each time leaving for a promotion/raise). And he's been an HC ever since.
If we were getting him as an OC after his time at Kentucky, we'd be ecstatic. But he's been an HC since 2015 (including a pretty good 3 year stint as HC at Troy).
Hiring Neal Brown now would be like hiring Fuente as your OC now.
If we can do that you'd be certifiable not to have the Hokies in the top 10
Unlike defensive coordinator this seems to stick much closer to what Tyler Bowen was doing the last two years schematically, a lot of movement and window dressing to keep the defense at bay and try to let your skill guys win one-on-one. Although in this case it's with a guy who has actual experience running an offense like that rather than Bowen who was initially hired to run a more pro-style offense. The Athletic article on his W&M time is interesting especially with how often they used two QB sets. I wonder if they will try any of that stuff with Drones and Watson. The biggest issue to me is that innovative offense doesn't always translate level to level. I hope this year with the Bills will give some perspective on what will/won't work against better defenses.
Edited to add: I think there's a big difference between these hires and Pry's initial coordinators Marve and Bowen. While in both cases he hired two coordinators without P4 experience in the position, the first time he hired two people he knew that he had a hunch could do the job. This time these coaches have no prior connection to Pry and are being selected in part because they've been recognized in other circles as being innovative.
