Not good. He was excellent.

Source tells @NFLonFOX that @buffalobills DBs coach Donnie Henderson won't be back. Possibility current Bills DC Dennis Thurman handles DBs

Why won't be back? Taking a DC job somewhere? I hope Rex didn't get cute and fire him just to make room for his brother. If so it's a total sham.

Gotta wonder why.

Re: DBs coach Donnie Henderson won't be back....

I thought our DB's played fairly well this year, especially considering all the injuries and the fact that the pass rush only generated 19 sacks.

Sweet...let's fire our only good coach, and bring on Rob Ryan.

Go team!!!

Re: DBs coach Donnie Henderson won't be back....

Henderson is a hold over from the old coaching staff, was he?
If yes, it makes sense to get rid of him.

Because that was actually the one unit that performed from the D and since he is no pal of Rex, it makes sense to cut him and bring in another Ryan, with a track record of ruining defenses everywhere he went.

since when is "played fairly well" good enough for you? That being said, I'd have to guess it had more to do with having good solid DB's as opposed to anything the DB coach did but thats simply a guess...cant rule out the impact when a rookie CB steps in and becomes the best DB on the team right away

Well I'm saying they were put in a difficult situation and did the best they could under the circumstances. If the pass rush was as it was in 13 and 14, no one would be talking bad about the DB's right now. They aren't the reason we missed the playoffs.

Re: DBs coach Donnie Henderson won't be back....

Donnie Henderson is very well respected in NFL as a secondary coach. Just ask all the Bills CBs. He once worked his way to DC, turned out not meant to be.

Dennis Thurman coached secondary for a long time before he got a chance to be DC under Rex. The writing might be on the wall that he may very well be in the same boat. The action pretty much says Thurman's DC responsibility has been reduced.

That's a demotion if I ever see one.

Yea but without the salary reduction or title change.

Re: DBs coach Donnie Henderson won't be back....

First they re-up Whaley.
Then they sign the buffoon's twin brother. Who's a bigger buffoon.
Then they dump Henderson for Thurman (who is next to useless).

This doesn't bode well at all.

Re: DBs coach Donnie Henderson won't be back....

Pass D was atrocious this year. Allowed 59 plays of 20 yards or more. 30 touchdowns.

Anyone who thinks the secondary played well in pass coverage wasn't watching the majority of Bills games this year.

Look at the year before Henderson had Rex Ryan telling what to do.
