When Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced Bobby Babich as the team’s next defensive coordinator, questions began to surface wondering who would call the plays on defense in 2024. In 2023 it was Sean McDermott, who took over for Leslie Frazier after Frazier’s decision to step down.
It’s natural to believe that an NFL defensive coordinator would by rule call the defensive plays. Yet for Babich, this is his first opportunity as a defensive coordinator. However, believing he lacks experience is foolish at best — when you consider his father is Bob Babich, and that Bobby began his coaching career in 2006.
