He was the OL coach in Miami while Daboll was there and they shared some time together in New England. If Buffalo doesn't go get him I will lose my mind. If they stick with what they are known to which is bringing in guys who they have worked with I hope they scoop him up for OL he turned that crappy oline around.

Trentwannabe Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Bills have officially announced they hired Bobby Johnson as OL coach. Spent last year as the assistant OL coach in IND and the previous 3 as the TE coach in Oakland. Was on Chan Gaileys staff in Buffalo during 2010-2011. We'll be going ZBS I guess.

I don't think Colts ran a ZBS did they? And with Daboll still offensive coordinator. I doubt that very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the hiring, Eric Wood and Kyle Rudolph have given glowing endorsements for Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this is one of those situations we're we wanted to hire Dave and instead he recommended his assistant OL coach instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soflbillsfan Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Its interesting that they are hiring these up and coming coaches. I know Johnson has been some sort of coach for 20 years whether it is being an assistant of Oline or TE coach he is still up and coming. I think McDermott feels that he is comfortable running the team and no longer requires a coach to be a veteran at their position in order for McDermott to succeed and wants new younger blood in there to be innovative rather then a retread who has been in a bigger role and failed settling for a positional job. Same goes with Heath, he has a lot lesser experience as a coach but he could be innovative and take his experience when he played on the field then off. People assume hes a panther and thinks that is why he was hired. I just have a feeling that they were looking at coaches saw something in him and reached out to panthers to get their opinion of him and felt that it would be a good fit. He only served 1 year as an assistant with panthers and assistant with seattle for 2 years. Hopefully it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yibbyl Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Per footballscoop.com Buffalo Bills: Heath Farwell has joined the staff as special teams coordinator. He had been a Seahawks assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 I am excited about both the hires so far. Johnson has a fair track record and seems like a respected coach. Farewell is kind of exactly what I like in a ST coach. Very high motor and high energy. Hopefully his youth is also bringing new innovative ideas.

soflbillsfan Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 So rumor is the bills may promote within and give Chad Hall the WR coaching position. Im extremely nervous about this as it means Culley stays put as QB coach eventhough he has years of experience at the WR position and Chad Hall has 2 years worth of assisting coaching and thats it. Moving to a positional coach with that little of experience is worrisome especially for a position that is the 2nd weakest on the team and possibly the weakest in the league. Inexperience could hurt these guys rather then help them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a guy who has paid his dues and now learning under one of my favourite OL coaches who did well in Buffalo. Also has a connection to Daboll.

McDermott has seen Hall up close and personal for two years now so he would have a very good idea of what he is capable of. No reason to move Culley who has the trust and ears of the QB room.

Having these 2 inexperienced coaches could delay being a contender but if McDermott hits on these guys then they could make a run. Lets just hope Tom, Bill, and Gronk all retire after the superbowl.

I think a veteran WR could help make the unit go to another level. Sounds like Foster has attributed his success to Hall so there is that. I'll be honest I think 2019 is a potential WC year for us but a max of 10 wins and likely more 7 or 8. 2020 Is where I see really competing anyway. Josh will be entering year 3, Zay in year 4, and then defensively Edmunds Milano and White all "vets" but aged 25 and under who are the core of our defense.

I speculated this could be a possibility when the news first came out we will be looking for a WR coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
