Wilson from Gamehendge Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Besides Shanahan...as mentioned a few moments ago on ESPN NFL Live. Marc Trestman - succeeded Shanahan in San Francisco, was Assistant Head Coach of Dolphins in 2004. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Trestman Kevin Gilbride - Ex-Bills OC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Gilbride Jim Haslett - Ex-Bills player http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Haslett *Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Shanahan as our GM name his son as Head Coach...then, grab Trestman as an Offensive Coordinator and Haslett as our Defensive Coordinator. Keep Bobby April for ST. Let Fewell see if he can get a better job elsewhere, which he probably would. But, if he doesn't, keep him on board. I would also bring in Gill Byrd to work with his son. (not saying he needs help, but Byrd is regarded as a very good asst.)
BuffaloBud Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Gilbride is not coming back to a previous scene of a crime. His TBD nickname at the time was "Killdrive". Need anymore info? Haslett is virtually no better than DJ.
dave mcbride Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Gilbride is not coming back to a previous scene of a crime.Haslett is virtually no better than DJ. Trestman is even worse.
Heitz Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 as mentioned a few moments ago on ESPN NFL Live. And as mentioned in the thread posted about an hour ago O_o
Rico Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 IF this is true and Gilbride is being considered as a HC candidate, I think this would prove that the Bills organization (ie: Ralph) see Bledsoe as the main reason for the 2003 disaster that ended up killing this team, not KG.
Whites Bay Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP. Kevin Gilbride coming BACK to Buffalo as Head Coach is just %&*#ing insanity. Goddamnit, please, for the love of whatever God you worship, check your water supply. You've been living downstream of the acetone factory for about one month too long.
mousetrap08 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Haslett,Gilbride and Tresman as candidate's for the Bills new head coach.Are you kidding me?Why not just bring in Larry,Curly and Moe.

And as mentioned in the thread posted about an hour ago O_o hey, way to be a dick...did i see that anywhere? nope. was this SAME EXACT thing posted in another post? doubt it. were you the only one who had to be a dick about this post? yup! thanks for your positive and intelligent input though...really shows your knowledge and football IQ. thanks again.

No offense, but there is no way the Bills will interview 4-5 coaches for the HC job, and then decide to hire them all in different capacities. That is just crazy talk.
peanuts Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Trestman is even worse. Why do you say Trestman is bad? He took his team to the Grey Cup in his first year, that is alot better than our Bills at 3-6 this year.record
bills_fan Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I quote the esteemed TBD poster who originally came up with this... Gil.bride (gil-brid), v.t. -brided, -briding 1. To err due to a spectacularly obvious lack of judgement. 2. To botch, boggle, bollix, or bungle a given situation. If SDS takes another vacation, Rosen better not gilbride the message boards again. 3. To continuiously pursue an obviously futile course of action with an attitude of obtuse stubbornness and complete lack of imagination. - n. 4. One who gilbrides. 5. A situation that is botched, boggled, bollixed, or bungled as a result of someone gilbriding. 6. Football. An offensive play which is foolish and results in predictable failure. It's third and two! Let's throw a gilbride and punt it away next play! If killdrive is our next HC, I will burn my bills stuff (anything not-SB era related). I have never been more disgusted with an OC than I was with killdrive.
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Gil Byrd? Really? Does you scenario allow for any new members to come on board without their next of kin?
khaynu Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I hope the Gilbride rumor is a joke because that will be the straw that breaks this camels back. I will be forced to support a new team period.
JPL7 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 jesus christ, can this team do anything right?? Mike Shanahann?? He isnt even in my top 5. Gilbride??? I would also burn all my non-SB era Bills stuff. This should be the order of interest from managements perspective, whether they are interested or not, they should at least contact the following: 1.) Bill Cowher- Pipe dream i know, but we can dream cant we? 2.) Marty Schottenheimer- Would be a great pick to get us back to the playoffs in a hurry 3.) Jim Hasslet- Buffalo roots, firery coach and lord knows we need that 4.) Jon Gruden- the polar oppositte of DJ and I am all for that 5.) Jim Fassel- Very good tactical coach, probably would come on the cheap too, Ralph! 6.) Biran Billick- Never gonna happen, but id still take him over Shannahann
BillsVet Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP. Kevin Gilbride coming BACK to Buffalo as Head Coach is just %&*#ing insanity. Goddamnit, please, for the love of whatever God you worship, check your water supply. You've been living downstream of the acetone factory for about one month too long. My thoughts exactly for Gillbride, Haslett, and Trestman. None of those guys are wanted for HC jobs, and are coordinators at best. Even at that level, I'm not sure they'd do anything substantial with the weak roster here already.
/dev/null Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Kevin Gilbride - Ex-Bills OChttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Gilbride Oh hell no Why not had Fairchild, Turk, and whats his name that Greggggggo fired as OC in his first year to the list too

JPL7 Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Not sure why Shanahan isn't above everyone side from Gruden and Cowher. Why isn't Holmgren on your list? Because I think Holmgrem is even more of a long shot then anyone else on the list, so I didnt even bother. Some strange part of me thinks Cowher would come (maybe its more hope then anything) if given the right circumstances. I just don't envision Holmgrem coming at all. And I would absolutely take Schotenheimer over Shanny. Haslett and Fassel I just think would come to Buffalo fairly easy. To be honest I am surprised Shanny has shown even the slightest interest in Buffalo. Essentially the list I formulated is a mix of coaches I think would actually come and coaches who I would prefer. If that makes any sense. Realistic: 1.) Schottenheimer 2.) Shanny 3.) Haslett 4.) Fassel 5.) Cowher 6.) Gruden 7.) Billick 8.) Dungy My Wish List: 1.) Cowher 2.) Dungy 3.) Gruden 4.) Homgrem 5.) Schottenheimer 6.) Haslett 7.) Billick 8.) Shanny 9.) Fassel
