Bills Seeking Play-Caller to Complement Frazier as DC
McDermott has already hiredย Leslie Frazier as defensiveย coordinator, perย Jamison Hensleyย of ESPN.com.
The new OC will have some weapons in place, namely running back LeSean McCoy, wide receiver Sammy Watkins and tight end Charles Clay. But the future of quarterback Tyrod Taylor is less certain, and McDermott remained noncommittal to Taylor as the team's starting quarterback in his first press conference, perย Nick Veronicaย of theย Buffalo News.
"When you look at quarterback play in this league, it's critical," McDermott said. "Really at this point, whether it's Tyrod's situation or any other position, let's not get ahead of ourselves right now in terms of those positions.
"I'm going to go through and evaluate every position group, every player, the same way I do everything else: in methodic nature. With respect to specific players, Tyrod in this case, there will be a time for that. Right now, it's about this organizationย and 'we' and getting this thing looking the way it needs to look."
In other words, Buffalo's next offensive coordinator will be taking the job with uncertainty at the most important position on the field. Taylor may remain the team's starter, or the new offensive coordinator could find himself grooming a rookie selected in this year's NFL draft.
