Luke Getsy the next Ken Dorsey? (alien.top)

So Ken Dorsey loses his job why can’t Luke Getsy? I think Flus needs to self scout Getsy’s scheme and see that it’s really not tailored to JF. I know it’s been said before but what will it take? Flus did pretty alright getting the defense ramped up and gelling. Why don’t reporters press Flus during media interviews about his OC and the schemes?

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.
