No one is ever going to convince me that Leslie Frazier walked away from a coaching job with no other option on the table, especially when his constantly stated goal is to be an NFL HC. Not having an NFL job this season certainly doesn't make getting a HC job next year more likely. Additionally, taking away the defensive calls wouldn't be a good look to prospective employers, so Frazier likely asked to be released. The BILLS softened the blow with the whole "Taking a year off" thing because it's a quality organization. 2 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty contradictory to McDermott wanting to take over the defensive play calling (which is the part I believe and why LF decided to "take a year off"). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty contradictory to McDermott wanting to take over the defensive play calling (which is the part I believe and why LF decided to "take a year off"). Ultimately, I always come back to: they hired two assistants and two QC coaches to "help" him. If my company is hiring two assistants to help me do my job, and two more assistants to ensure I do it properly, I'm probably thinking "Maybe it's time to take a year off" too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he did or did not, but in that situation, wouldn't you think a HC would quickly confer with his DC on the strategy? Same with the end of game disaster Monday night. What else is HC doing during those 2 kneel downs other than ensuring his ST coach is set on the pending FG attempt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DC should be getting his defense off the field during the 2 timeouts preceding the cluster fck. He could check with the HC side of his brain to confirm it.
