I don't think it would be a good decision, but I can tell you I couldn't possibly cheer harder for an NFL team if it's got Philip Rivers as its coach and Josh Allen at QB.

Mate pretty good convo on Bills HC search on Bill Simmons' latest pod (Peter Schrager was guest).
The Davis Webb thing is juicy AF.

I think he'd be a good hire!

Josh Allen has never played in a Super Bowl despite many playoff appearances, just like Philip Rivers. This would be a perfect fit for the Bills. Get it done, Beane.
How did that work out?
Im about to post the craziest stat ever. 100% of players and coaches had zero Super Bowl titles before they won their first. I couldn’t beleive that

I could be wrong but I assume that this is the first sitting high school coach to be interviewed for an NFL head coaching position

Technically he would be a current player too right?

Also for better or worse it sure seems likely Allen wanted McDermott canned ….Hard to believe Pegula that he wasn’t consulted at this point

Being a successful NFL coach is about far more than just knowledge of the game or being able to command a locker room. To succeed at that level you basically have to be a football psycho with an unhealthy addiction to the grind of it all. The stress, the competition, the long hours, etc. These guys basically turn 90+% of their waking hours over to coaching at the expense of virtually everything else in their lives (especially their families) for huge chunks of the year.
And you have to love it for more than just the money. Guys like Reid, Payton, McVay, Harbaugh, etc. could walk away tomorrow set for life and would have every network lining up to offer them a cushy, lucrative media job. Maybe they'd only make 50-60% as much money, but they'd only have to work 10% as hard for 1% of the stress. Any sane person would rather do that, but these guys aren't sane; they're football psychos.
Rivers has 10 kids, one grandkid and $244 million in career earnings, plus endorsements, sitting in the bank. There's no reason for him to ever coach other than an intense, burning desire to do so. Does Rivers have that level of passion to coach in him? Is he going to enjoy spending 16 hours a day at the team facility for 6 straight months year after year? Maybe, but he hasn't proven that he has that level of desire in him yet and taking a chance on him when you have a HOF quarterback in his prime (and have your choice of other candidates) isn't something a team should do.

High school coach to Nfl coach- checks out.

If he got it and Allen got injured at some point, would he be allowed to come out of retirement and be a player-coach?

I’ve never understood why with a dual threat qb more plays aren’t drawn up with 2 qbs at the same time.
Screw waiting for Josh Allen to get hurt, let’s have Rivers and Allen in on the same play with Rivers coaching

Josh Allen needs to ask to be traded. As long as that owner and Beane are running the show they'll never win a SB.
