DanInSouthBuffalo Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 George Kokinis helped build the Ravens. I can't wait to find out what Mangini threw him under the bus for..
jahbonas Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 right on--no more bad experiments Keep in mind the 3 choices are based on 'reality' that Ralph wont pay the going rate a 'name' guy will command. Polian was unproven GM when we hired him...as was John Butler...as is Josh Daniels a successful head coach from Coordinator to head coach in Denver We may not have the budget to hire 'proven guys'...Washington Redskins prove that direction can lose too because many of these so-called winners were simply surrounded with talent.....you really think back in the day marv Levy could have left the talented Bills to bring a championship to some lower level team???? The key is to make a wise choice...the common factor there seems to be that they have pro scouting experience in their background

The key is to make a wise choice...the common factor there seems to be that they have pro scouting experience in their background Dude, I'm tired of experiments. This is the year where the also appears to be a log jam of proven head coaches available and GM's that have all done it before. I'm sick of giving someone 5 years IN THE HOPE that they build something. You are taking more of a risk and gambling away opportunity and success by taking an unproven. Heck, for the past decade that is all that we have had. And you want more? You're probably one of those people responsible for a 20% approval rating of Congress, yet keeps voting the same idiots to office expecting a different result. Josh Daniels is the exception the rule. Certainly, the Mangenius is not looking so good, huh? Gregg Williams? Mularkey? Some are suited to be a head coach, and some are not. Some are amazing coordinators who should never so much as sniff the cleats of a head coach. I for one, am sick and tired of experimenting with unproven "hot" coordinators or "hot" personnel men never to have done the job before.

And Dude..in his entire 50 years of owning the Bills Ralph paid the money for a proven big name ONCE...when he hired Chuck Knox in 1978.....Ralph eventually cheaped out enough to force Knox to leave as well... The article takes into account the reality of the above fact....to WISH for Holmgren or Gruden or Cowher is just that...a wish that will never happen because this cheap old man will never pay the going rate.....so its a waste of time
JohnC Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 What about James Harris? Haven, That would be an iteresting choice. Another person who was associated with the Bills is Reggie McKenzie, the former guard in the Electric Co. line for OJ. He is one of the top personnel men in the Green Bay organization.
JohnC Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I think I wrote that I like Marc ROSS not Russ Brandon....but thanks for the Emily Litella routine... JoeF, I was referring to the replacement of Levy by Russ Brandon. By the way who is Emily Litella?

That is not the same Reggie McKenzie.
BillsfaninFl Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 He could get Matt Millen at a discount price, he was very successful Millen would be perfect. We could make a run at the most consecutive losses record.
JohnC Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 That is not the same Reggie McKenzie. I always assumed it was the same person. Thank you for correcting that misconception.

Philly McButterpants Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 You mean Chris Polian. Brian Polian is the Special Teams Coach at Notre Dame.
JohnC Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Litella I am getting way too old JohnC ...... my references are ancient... JoeF, Gilda Radner was terrific on SNL. Her skits with Bill Murray were classic. In my backward opinion the old SNL programs were funnnier than the present shows.
