ICE Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Jim Fassel flys in, has an interview and leaves kinda pissed (Was reported AND Empire did a segment with him at the airport....he wasn't happy) Bills official spin...'he didn't have a good interview' What was leaked from fassels camp...' Was told he had to make it work with Bledsoe... Fassel said no, he is done as a QB And we need to move on.' If for no other reason, this is why TD needs to be fired. 2nd time around, 2nd shot at a HC and he comes up with ANOTHER Rookie HC. And that is without the rumors. Now if they are true, and all indicators say they are....then TD Needs to be canned. BTW...why didn't we wait to interview Weis? Maybe because he agreed to the benching of Bledsoe after he came back from his injury? hummm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I really hope you're not right, ICE, but lately you've been right on. If that is true, then Donahoe really needs to go. The only problem though, is, I have a feeling Ralph still thinks the problems lie somewhere other than Drew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 well, my theory is that td will be stripped of all personnel duties after the season. He has done well financially for the bills, so he can stay in that capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Could be.... though I'm glad Fassel didn't come here anyways. Like PIZ said, I have to tip my hat to ICE, his recent analyses have been dead on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIZ Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I have a question. If Donahoe was fired at season's end and a new guy came in, what would likely happen to Mularkey? Would you expect the new GM to bring his own guy in? I'd really like to see Scott Pioli from New England. Would Pioli likely bring Weiss with him?

I think Mularky would be gone if a new GM arrived. That said - I don't see that we will get a new GM... Additionally - I think if we opted for a new HC - we would want to see a veteran coach - not another coordinator on promotion... however good Weis or Crennel may be.

You mean marv? Bring him in, hire weiss as OC and assist. head coach. Marv works 1 or 2 years, teaches JP, willis, and evans how not to be chumps, retires and hands the reigns to weiss, who's learned from a future HOF coach and a current one.

His age prohibits it I think... That, and I am not 100% convinced that his coaching style would be appropriate for todays NFL - he wouldn't be guaranteed to bring in coordinators of Weis's quality....

PIZ Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hiring Marv wouldn't be a bad idea. Marv should be a part of this team in some capacity. Man, I miss Marv. This assembly of Buffalo Bills is just pathetic. The personality of this team is not something I am proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 nick, its worth a shot. You bring in marv only if he can bring in a proven coordinator (weiss) that would be guarenteed to be promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Well, you could promote the coordinator. Hopefully with a proven staff, confidence from the front office, and nobody spinning their wheels, the team won't struggle to the extent that its struggling now. If it does, then you go back to the drawing board. Your next argument will be that the fans can't handle going back to the drawing board. Well tough. With a few years of good drafting (assuming Ralph pulls in a good scouting and management staff), the team will be able to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fassel said no, he is done as a QB And we need to move on.' Curious, ICE. Where did this come from? I really don't remembe it. You know, this team is very much like the Washington Redskins, I'm sad to say. Tons of talent, but cannot play as a cohesive team. It also doesn't help that they both have over the hill QB's.
