He was a position coach - Defensive Back. Lawrence was the DC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Buffalo_Bills_season#Staff I had completely forgotten we had Monte Kiffin on staff as LB coach.

And how would you have kept him? His prior two HC stints in the NFL did not tun out so well. The Patriots regressed every year under him. By his last year, the players were being openly critical of him. Going to the college ranks was the best thing for him. IMO, if he stayed in the NFL in some capacity after the Pats, he would never have gotten another HC gig.

Most Reviled Coach of the Bills
Cynical replied to Mike in Horseheads's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, but different circumstances. When Levy took over the GM spot, Malarkey knew he wasn't Marv's guy. Short of winning the SB, he knew he was gone when the season ended. Also, Malarkey did get another HC gig. He was the HC of the Jaguars for one year. It will be a long time before Marrone gets another shot, if ever. -
Most Reviled Coach of the Bills
Cynical replied to Mike in Horseheads's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have to go with Hank Bullough and Dick Jauron. And knowing that Jaroun started his coaching career under Bullough makes the hiring of Jaroun that much worse. -
NFLN's Heath Evans predicts Bills 12-4 and Div Champs
Cynical replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Right. Apparently you missed the past 15 years, because according to the "local" experts here on TBD, there was no way no how the Bills would finish with less than x amount of wins as predicted by those "national" experts. They just did not know the team like we did. Let's not forget the "Let's hold the experts accountable" threads that appeared from time to time before a season started, because TBD knew better than those "national" experts! Those same threads were quickly abandoned and forgotten once the season got under way. I take it the compass wasn't properly calibrated during those times? Like most sports boards, any negative analysis by the media is derided by the members, while positive analysis is hyped. If this team started off 9-0 and then lose 3 straight, I would be able to see the mushroom cloud over WNY from here in the Atlanta area. -
Wow, reach much? As a Tebow "hater" (for lack of a better term), you really need to look at the religious conservatives who seem to hold him up as some kind of saint or savior. Any criticism against "player Tebow" is somehow magically transformed into criticism of "religious Tebow", and by extension, religion itself. That's probably due to the religious conservatives seeing Tebow's ability and his success being a result of his religion.

What do you think the bills record will be next year?
Cynical replied to Joshua25's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wonder where he will be moving after this year. -
Cassel advantage and explanation of EJ's command issues
Cynical replied to Vinaccia's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That would depend on the individuals involved. Some people absolutely refuse to help anybody else because they fear of losing their position to that person. Other people are more than willing, because they realize mentoring can be a 2 way street. -
This is one of many reasons why you don't let friends wear orange.

If I was a betting man, probably more along the lines of seeing so many of them failing because the DIY did not install it right. The concept and installation of the product is pretty simple if the directions and recommendations are followed. Short cutting the directions or recommendations is not a good thing unless you really know what the hell you are doing.

I replaced my main water line between the meter and my house about 3-4 years ago. Both ends use quick connects. No problems since then.

An outlier does not equal an overall strong schedule. Mizzou was not good that year. They finished 5-7.

Neighbor is a dick and/or owner should have known better?
Cynical replied to Beerball's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Which does nothing to prove your point of the owner being "too lazy to cut a 200$ check once a year". The only cut and dry part (and yet another important piece of the puzzle) is the screw up by the bank. In the end, the lender is the one that is going to pay. -

Cynical replied to Beerball's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Try reading the article a little closer: Prior to 2004, the owner was paying the taxes, but ... "In 2004, JP Morgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) officials told her they also needed to put money for the New York taxes into the escrow account. But the bank never paid the bill; it sold the loan in 2010 to Seterus Inc." It is cut & dry. The bank royally !@#$ed up. If the bank required her to have an escrow account for those taxes, but then failed to pay the taxes, then the bank can be held liable. She may/may not get the property back (as she would be ultimately responsible for making sure the taxes were paid), but she could go after the bank(s) for damages. -

It's NSD!Where 1st rd picks of last 5 yrs rated out of HS
Cynical replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Exactly. Even of the player ends up being an average player, he still has better chances of being noticed, and possibly a late draft pick or a UDFA invite, at a big school like Florida as opposed to going to a school like UB. To expand upon that, think about the stories of scouts going to games to watch superstar player A, but at the end the game, they have also got their eye on player B. -

Alabama Fans- What do you think of Sims?

No. -
I am not an accountant, but I will throw my $.02 in: If the coach and buyout clause are subject to the "jock tax", then the money is subject to NY income tax. However, it could be possible the buyout clause is not considered a salary or wage (its reported as a 1099 income), and if DM gets paid this year (2015), then it's quite possible it is NOT subject to NY income tax, assuming of course, he lives in a state that is not NY.

Rex explains why he freed Schwartz to go elsewhere
Cynical replied to BmarvB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have no doubt they spoke to each other. Letting him go so its easier for him to land another gig is considerate, and a reason to let him go now (as opposed to 1-2 months from now), but its not a reason for why he was let go to begin with. Maybe its me, but the article reeks of "crap, I have a deadline, I need to write something". -
