Agreed

Yup. Id almost guarantee if Rex's defense was dominating and it was the offense that was severely sputtering, Rex would be coaching the Bills year 3 Even if he finished 8-8

Offense carried the defense. Not the other way around. Unfortunately Rex is in a position where Defense is supposed to be his specialty. So he cant keep blaming the DC. Its his system. And they got even worse in year 2. So if you cant blame the DC, then Rex has to go. Being objective here.

Agree

Im not against going for guys with minor blemishes. However, Kelly's entire adult life so far is marked with blemishes. No thanks.

This makes zero sense.

Lol exactly my thought.

Why would you even want to do that? Pick up the option and hes about what the 20th highest paid Qb? Wouldnt his cap hit be ridiculous if he was franchised? This is 100% about new HC signing off on TT and Bills waiting for that to happen. They have months to decide on option.

MD talking about jobs being on the line. Thanks for taking half a season off pal. Obviously you didn't feel the urgency after getting paid.

I'd say it's hard to say...I mean I can like someone after the fact but that doesn't mean they would've been my 1st choice. If Whaley didn't have final say on Rex, what does he have to gain by going out and publicly criticizing the hire? Nothing.

If you're going to keep Whaley, you might as well let him run the damn show. I agree with this. We'll see what he does. If Whaley can manage to improve the defense while not blowing up the offense, I'll be impressed.

Rough year for Ryan family. Dad passes away and both brothers get fired same season. I was really rooting for Rex, but tough decisions need to be made in this sport.

Agreed. Also wouldn't be surprised if 5% of it is also, "alright EJ, go look good vs a putrid team and maybe you can get a better paycheck next season elsewhere" EJ is a good guy. I hope he lights up the Jests.

LMAO. This made me laugh.

Whaley and Cowher worked together for many years, so there is that connection...

I would be in favor of this. New blood. He deserves a chance somewhere.

If Lynn becomes HC, how about promoting Kromer to OC? In my opinion, Kromer has been spectacular. Of course, I'm not sure how he would handle playcalling and maybe it's not even a possibility. Not everyone is cut out for it. Same here man. I'd be ecstatic.

Carroll stunk it up in the NFL his first go around as a HC; BB wasn't great either. Schwartz did in fact resurrect a crap franchise and made them somewhat relevant again. He wasn't a complete disaster. His link and relationship with the players on the defensive side of the Bills is key in my opinion. Again though, I don't see it happening. One can dream.

It isn't a great thing to say, but I can't get over his age. He'll be coaching the Bills at 71. He came off three really really bad years in NY where his teams gave up on him. All that with a borderline HOF QB. The game passes everyone by in my opinion, including coaches.

Would you prefer Lynn as HC and Gus as DC or Schwartz as HC and Lynn as OC? I'd swallow my pride and go offer Schwartz the HC gig. Probably will never happen.

I agree that most GM's never get to hire 3 HC for the same team, unless they have a heck of a lot of playoffs and maybe a super bowl in that time frame.

Any updates on this? I really don't want Coughlin.

I hear you. I was referring specifically to the coaches. Last time we had a really good thing with Schwartz (say what you want about his success elsewhere, but he succeeded here) and didn't make him a priority. Now we have a really good thing with this offensive system, don't want to see that regress. In short, I don't want to be a dog chasing its tail for another 20yrs seeing the defense be good with a crap offense and a good offense with a crap defense. We need to build on what already works, and fix what doesn't work at the same time.

HAHAH We're a dumpster fire; but a classy dumpster fire.
