NO NO & NO Romo is a lot better than what we have but to give up a #1 that's just foolish . My opinion which ain't worth a bunch but you asked !!

Grimm already said no last time around why bother ? Just move on !!!

That's exactly why we need a coach with a history of winning, not getting to 500 !!!

What was his win /loss record ? Why was he fired ? Has he won a championship at any level ? We know he's been around & has the respect of others in the league but the Pittsburgh coaching tree to this point hasn't produced a hell of a lot. Not just in B/Lo's case but really any where... Please correct me if i'm wrong because it won't be the first ! & for sure won't be the last !!! I just hope they don't jump too quick, there are a lot of coaches out there that have a better championship pedigree or upside as they call it in the NFL than others & thats what we need not someone that can get us to 500. I have & will keep throwing Marc Trestmans name out there. The guy is a winner & has proven it !! At least talk to the guy & give him the chance to say no.. Dang !!

I just hope they do as Brandon said they would do "a exhaustive search to find the right guy for the job". Don't go with the first one or 2 guys you interview look at a bunch of them unless a guy with a Bellechek resume comes along then jump on the hire. Don't grab a guy right off the bat that has been fired because he didn't live up to the winning standard expected in the NFL that's just plain crazy, we have already been down that road. Get a guy that has shown he can win more than just that one season like DJ did. Bring in a guy that has championships under his belt . Bring in Marc Trestman !! For goodness sakes what does it take to just talk to the guy ? He has 2 consecutive Grey Cup Championships what more do you need to know & we can't even give the guy a call ?? Thats OK just get Wisenhunt or one of the others that were fired that will work ...

Taj Boyd proved a lot by his throwing when the game was on the line beating a strong SEC team & he made the throws in crunch time when it counted & brought his team back even after LSU was romping on them, not to mention he ran it over 30 times in the game ...

Ya but what worries me is what did he do with a mediocre QB in sexy Rexy --- NOTHIN sure when you have a exceptional talent at QB it makes every body look a lot better but it's what happens when that guy goes down & you have a guy like Fitz that comes in . Maybe if he was to bring their second string guy with him that knows his scheme but to bring him in when we don't have a talented QB I'm not real sure how that would work. I still think Marc Trestman should be considered or at least talked to so he can say YA or Na. The guy is a proven winner & is a great QB coach & teacher which is what we need especially if we get a young QB for the future !!

If it is his last game in San Diego bring him back to B/Lo we need another GOOD LB he could teach our younger guys how to do it . It sure looks like he has the fire ...

According to what he told BB.com " on a scale from 1 to 10 if he would like to stay with the Bills he said a 10, great city, great team & wants to stick around to finish what they started" GET ER DONE !!!

I just hope they have a more extensive search this time & don't ump to quickly to replace Gailey. They need to exhaust all the candidates out there & find the best fit for the talent we have instead of trying to rework what we have got . Lovie Smith said he was interested because of the players we have & how they could work well with in the scheme that he uses, that is the way to go about thing not getting a coach that wants to totally change the direction of the team by changing the players to their liking. A couple maybe but not the entire deal .

Fitz needs to rework his contract that is the only way we keep him here , he will cost our cap something like 10.45 Million next year & he's just not worth that to keep around as a back up or a stop gap !!

With all of the talk this past year that CJ was to small to handle the load of 30 + carries which coach Gailey seemingly thought by not running him as the first back while Fred was healthy & playing. I looked at my Thurman Thomas rookie card he measures 5' 10 " tall & 198 lbs when he came into the league & his YPC avg was 4.9 & is now known to be one of if not the best all purpose backs the Bills have had & is in the HOF for his accomplishments while with the Bills. Then i looked up CJ on the Bills roster 5' 11" tall 200 lbs not a lot bigger but still bigger than Thurman & his YPG avg at one point this year was 7.1 ypc & wound up over 6 for the year. This guy is going to be very special !! I just hope we can keep him here . OH & for all you Bills fans that were on the CJ is a bust band wagon, in the words of a famous country singer HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW ?? I just love it when players make some people eat their words !! If CJ would have had more carries this year he would have been higher in the top backs of the league than where he wound up maybe right up there with A P ...

Glennon didn't do to awful good in his bowl game 5 INT's , Geno Smith can't play in bad weather, Nassib did win is bowl game but from what i saw on youtube he didn't do much for me ... Clemsons Taj Boyd though played one heck of a game against SEC's LSU & was clutch at the end of the game when it counted & pulled out the win. Not only did he throw for over 300 yds but ran for like 100 or some crazy number they said he ran it 33 times !! Thats nuts . Just don't know if he is coming out this year . Barkley, Smith, Glennon, & L. Jones scare me This year QB class is NOT that good !! Tyler Wilson has a bunch of experience in the SEC is a senior & has good skills i'd like to see what he can do ...

I'll second that !!!!

You need to study his history in the NFL & the connections he has had the guy is perfect for what we need here. He was a volunteer coach on the Miami team when Kelly was there. He & Marv Levy bot coached the Alouettes to 2 Grey Cup Championships , his being 2 consecutive. He was in San Fran & a QB coach for Steve Young was there & worked under George Seifert , he was the QB coach in Detroit when Scott Mitchell had his best year as a QB, the guy is a great coach i just hope that the Bills at least talk to the guy this time. Plus he is well respected around the NFL by coaches & players alike , Teabow & Brandon Weedon looked him up when entering the NFL to help him with their throwing mechanics the guy is Money !! He has won championships in the CFL but has yet to have a HCing job in the NFL this would be the perfect time for him to make his Marc in the NFL as a HC . Check out his Wiki page & pull up some of the articles on the guy i think all will take a liking to this guy !!

Arians Yes , Trestman Yes, M. Schottenheimer Yes !!! Take your pick

Marc Trestman or Marty Schottenheimer "GET ER DONE"

This is not a good year to take a QB early in the draft that would have been better last year . If we are going to make a move up for any one it needs to be a sure fire good player which Teo is about the only one i can see . Qb's this year are a reach Geno Smith can't play in bad weather so pass on him Barkley is another USC night mare, Jones ah i just don't think so, Wilson is the only one that has been around long enough but i don't know about him either . Next year would be a much better year to go after a franchise guy , get a decent stop gap QB then pull the trigger after next season ...

Agree with some disagree with some. Carrington was drafted as a 4/3 DE but has done what OUR COACHING STAFF has wanted, bulked up & played DT & done very well as you have pointed out i just wonder what might be if he was to go back to his original weight & play his original position ? I wouldn't mind seeing in preseason what Merriman might do at OLB if it turns out bad put him at DE again (don't know unless you try) I know the entire 4/3 - 3/4 thing but a football player is a football player. What it comes down to is CHEMISTRY !! Really good teams find it between Coaches, Scheme, & Players. If you look at what Harbaugh has done with the talent he inherited compared to what the previous staff did with basically the same players a few were added but basically the same it is amazing what a change in coaching philosophy can make. Which i agree with you is one change that needs too be made... Along with our QB but as you also pointed out this year is not the year to do that in the draft b/c there are a bunch of misses in this draft at QB & that would be just our luck to pick one high in the draft !!

Exactly which bad personnel moves is it that you speak of ? Brought in via draft : CJ, Dareus, Gilmore, Brooks, C. Glenn, C Hairiston, Z. Sanders. Resigned F. Jackson, K. Williams, Stevie J, B. Scott, Signed FA : K. Urbik, E. Pears, S. Chandler, Rhinehardt, M. Williams, Anderson, Merriman, K. Moore. If he can resign Byrd, Levetrie, Mckelvin, i'd say he's doing pretty good unless you can point out a lot of other bad moves he's made. Bad moves: T. Jackson for V. Young, Thigpen, Fitz contract, B. Smith contract, maybe Kelsay contract but good leader & depth player, A.Williams but could be salvaged if moved to safety

Just heard on ESPN that Smith struggled in bad weather meaning, SNOW - WIND - I'LL PASS ON THIS GUY JUST SAY NO !!!!!

Well don't look at his high lights on you tube because it didn't show me anything at all !!! Don't get the hype that everyone is so high on this guy except that he may be a home town guy playing for Syracuse . Barkley is another one i hope we stay away from that guy but if we go with what has happened in the past because the "EXPERTS" say he is good we will move all of our draft picks to get him & he will be another Jamarcus Russel ...

To all Bills fans none of us can argue ( that use common sense) that the greatest Bills coach of all time is Marv Levy . Although he made it to the SB 4 times & didn't win changes nothing for me any way, that feat will never be done again i don't believe. In all of the Bills mediocrity i have been a staunch proponent of one perfect fit for a future HC for our team. I for one cannot see why he hasn't been in the conversation to this point at all ? The comparisons of Levy & this guy i will talk about are uncanny to say the least.. They both started out in college as coach or coaching volunteers. They both were NFL coordinators. Both coached or had a in depth relationship with Bill Walsh. Both had Jim Kelly as QB of there teams. Both coached the Montreal Alouettes to 2 Grey Cup Championships (one 2 consecutive) Both have similar philosophy's about coaching, high character players & QB's one being a highly respected QB coach This coach i compare to our own Levy if you haven't guessed by now is Marc Trestman which has recently passed Levy's winning percentage in the CFL . With our team being in the lower echelon of the NFL it would be hard to get a high profile coach such as Gruden , Cowher, Reid to take on the Bills as a project let alone to stay long enough to make us a winner with out paying a kings ransom to do so. I think Trestman is the absolute perfect person for the job because he hasn't been a HC in the NFL as of yet but has the familiarity with the league & the respect of the coaches he has worked with in the NFL. He has a great history of coaching winning QB's & winning as a coach although it is in the CFL, but that will be a plus for the Bills as far as not paying a kings ransom, he would be able to prove himself to be a great NFL coach the next step in his progression as a coach in a higher profile league. And he is new blood in the head coaching tree in the NFL. Last he has played in the cold & his kids are grown & it wouldn't be a huge thing for him to be able or willing to come to Buffalo. I don't know about the rest of you Bills fans but there is enough here & if you do some of your own digging on this guy i think it would only further make you a Billeiver that he would be perfect to stand along the sideline at the Ralph & lead our team to victory !!!

I read something on this & i think you got it wrong we save 10.45 mill if we cut him before the beginning of the league year & that won't go against the cap as long as he is cut before that ...

There would be a lot more money to go around if it wasn't spent on the Yankees , Mets & Nets stadiums ... Good thing we got there before the Rangers , Islanders , & Knicks had to have a new place to play but there again that would be OK b/c the money would be being dumped into the black hole Oh i'm sorry thats not politically correct NYC AHH Thats better !! Go Bills get what you can while you can !!!!
