I don't see how Ralph could be "comfortable" with that.

My thoughts are that the quickest way for the Bills to become competitive would be to pick up the best avail LT in Free Agency, draft the best avail. DT in the draft in first round, and then trade for McNabb. I am not a BIG fan of McNabb at this stage in his career - but he fills a need - for the short term. There is a lot there, but Matt Light would be a first step I could agree with. ETA: I suspect Light may very well be released making him avail. to sign as a FA.

By the way...I don't know if it has been mentioned on this board before...but subscribing to the daily email for the Sporting News Daily - is one of the best moves I ever,...great morning read and good way to start the day. www.sportingnewstoday.com

Nice Q&A. Good kid. Really good Hockey player. Tyler Myers - Q&A

HEY RALPH!

Tedy you are talking about right? I mean...you did say "she".

I bet Chan Gailey was one of them begging for an interview.

..in related news....Aaron Schobel announced his retirement today....

This is (sort of) correct! I would love to see Nolan a part of Gay-Lee's staff.

Yes...I really thought they would land a big name coach that I would be happy with. Yes...I am numb...and am considering jumping off a bridge. ETA: I really feel sorry for some of the "REAL MEN" on this roster. I think of Eric Wood, and Fred Jackson, and Brian Moorman, and a few others. I am seriously considering dropping my Bills Fan card until Ralph is no longer a part of this organization. That is hard to say, because Ralph is the King of the Bills organization. He has kept the team in Western NY,...and periodically over the past 50 years has brought true winning teams for the fan base to cheer for. But this.....this decision...may be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Queue all the complaints about the crappy quality of live streaming at BB.com in 3..2...

The Bills can't get any number of assistant coaches to come and be there Head Coach - and your laughing about a "collapsing" Dallas team in the playoffs? ok.

To say the organization has made no committment is a load of crap, and Ismael is just flapping his gums with an opinion - to sound like he knows the scoop. Have the Bills made bad personel decisions? Yes...repeatedly....no question, but to say the organization isn't committed to winning - or finding a way to win is nonsense.

The most hated coach on my list EVER.- from the day he made the "choke" sign when the Bills missed a kick against him...I don't remember if it was when he was with the Jets or Pats...but it doesn't matter. If he were named the coach, I would turn my "Bills Fan" ticket in immediately and never look back.

welcome to two days ago.

Luca Brasi needs to pay Bill a visit and make him an offer he can't refuse.

I made this my screen saver a few days ago....and today the company VP walked by and asked me to forward it to him.

Chiefs Fire Tim Krumrie -- Tue Jan 5, 2010 --from FFMastermind.com NFL.com reports the Kansas City Chiefs have fired longtime defensive line coach Tim Krumrie, according to league sources. Krumrie, who is well respected in the coaching community, is likely to command interest elsewhere. Krumrie appears to be the only change on the defensive at this point according to league sources, with DC Clancy Pendergast not told he was being to be retained. With the team already letting go position coaches, it would be very unusual for a move involving a

I hope if Bill Cowher is hired - he will bring OT Mike Williams from the Bucs along with him.

I don't how long before this thread gets killed - but that's ok. I just did a search and found 26 threads started since Dec. 27th with "Cowher" in the thread title. That doesn't count the numberous threads started with his name misspelled.

It seems to me that if Bill Cowher had taken himself out of consideration, he would have said so, rather than leaving this to speculation. So far he has not made any public statement...that I know of. I would not be suprised if he doesn't come to Buffalo - but I am still holding out hope that he is the guy.

This story was posted at 6:35am yesterday - long before it was reported by national media that the Bills were cutting ties with the staff....this might have some wheels to it.
