You mean the guy in the hall of fame.

More than Phillips, Williams, Mularkey and Jauron put together with three different teams. He's a great coach. Hate to tell you this but count the number of NFL coaches there have been in the super bowl era and count the number who have even played in the SB or gotten to the championship game. The have nots will far outweigh the have's. Schottenheimer is all the things Nix said he is looking for in a coach: a leader and a teacher. If he would coach the Bills they would get better quickly. It's happened at every stop in Schottenheimer's career. A coach can't get more proven than that.

Schottie would be a great coach for this team. He's a leader, a teacher and a winner and all of those are proven traits over time with multiple teams. His last season 3 yrs. ago the Chargers were 14-2. He has nothing to prove in his credentials. I would LOVE him in B-Lo.

I wasn't happy at first. Actually, I was highly pissed off. But after hearing Nix out I feel better. He knows what we do. Strength and conditioning needs to be improved, line rebuilt, importance of the draft, pay players who play well instead of letting them walk. He better hire the right coach though.

Yessir, coming back to take the sails out of our winds. LOLOLOLOL...

Waterfront yea. Retractable roof. HELL NO. This is Buffalo. Outdoor football. Just like Pitt, 'Natti and Cleveland and NE. PERIOD.

Stop playing... I'm in a good mood today.

Some player news for the game on Sunday.

Notorious to who? I would argue it's more notorious to people not from WNY who like to deal in the stereotypes they heard others say. The weather can get bad, but no more than any other northeastern or midwestern city. It's supposed to be cold in the winter time. When did everyone turn into such poontangs?

Who cares what that pickle-headed bastard says? We will see soon enough. I'm not so tied to Cowher (would be nice, but there are other good options) But I'm getting to the point I want Cowher not just because he's good, but moreso to stick it to those ish talking punks at ESPN, CBS and Fox who always have something sideways to say about Buffalo.

Why should he do that? Because you don't want to get your hopes up? LoL. Thurman is on a radio show. It's his job to talk about the Bills. Do you think it's possible that a man who was one of the faces of the organization for over 10 years might have some connects inside and around the organization? He never said anything about Cowher from what I heard. He said the Bills would make a big splash and he wanted to be a part of it. He doesn't need to shut his yap. You need to wait and see...

NO HE DID NOT. (sigh) What he said was he will not interview for any jobs before the season is over. Where in there do you hear "I don't want the Bills job?" Litstening in fundamental. It might turn out he takes a different job. It might even be likely. But he NEVER said he would not interview for the Bills job. He said he will not interview for ANY job during the season.

Most of the stuff u read these days are from bloggers or journalists who present info they heard from bloggers. Sal hasn't been one to offer speculation as fact. If it's speculation he will tell you. A report like tonight? It's probably good info. He has a good track record. Every team's fan base thinks they should win more. Outside of a few organizations: 70's Steelers new millenium Pats and the 80's 49ers what team wins a lot of SB's in 15 years time? Or even plays in one super bowl, let alone multiple ones like the Bills did? The best thing to hope for is that the players and coaching gives the team a chance every year to win it all. Cowher did that. Andy Reid does that. I would love for the Bills to have that consistent chance at winning it all every year.

Nobody can be sure of anything no matter who is hired. Cowher is a coach who has won more games than he's lost. He's led his teams to multiple playoff appearances. He's led his team to a SB win. What more can you ask for? If Andy Reid were available he'd be a good coach to get and he's never won the big one. Not winning the big one is no sin. Continually putting your team in a position to play for the big one is not easy; I will take that track record over Dick Jauron's losing pedigree as a HC. Or a hot coordinator. He's a quality coach with a winning pedigree at the highest level. We could do worse. But if he isn't the choice whoever they get will hopefully have a winning history in the pro game.

Sal has broken info. on other Bills boards in the past; including Lee Evans extension and TO signing with the Bills, b4 seeing it on ESPN, SI or Foxsports. He seems to have some good sources. He could always be wrong, but based on past experience reading his stuff if he puts something out there it usually turns out to be good info.
