DrFishfinder Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 http://www.profootballweekly.com/2009/12/0...ead-coaching-jo I'm starting to like the sound of Russ Grimm. I think he could be the guy to shore up our OL, establish a solid running game and get a reasonably good QB to produce.
bills_fan Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Grimm or Zimmer would be fine with me if we went the coordinator route.
stuckincincy Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 http://www.profootballweekly.com/2009/12/0...ead-coaching-jo Re Zimmer: He didn't walk into a disaster. Two 1st round CBs, a solid bunch of DEs and DTs, most of which were drafted, a 1st round top pick LB, now a LB that surprisingly slipped to the 2nd last draft, some vets acquired that have done quite well - Dhani Jones a few years ago, Chris Crocker, Roy Williams now on IR, Tank Williams. Rashard Jeanty is on the bench - Bills should have talked trade there... 3rd rounder, GT's DE Micheal Johnson, looks to be big noise. And 2nd year 3rd rounder last year, DT Pat Sims. Both of these players fell into their laps. Zim's a great guy. We all know about the untimely passing of his dear wife. HC? Dunno...
todzilla Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I like the sound of both Grimm and Zimmer. I know this is a broken record, but if we don't get one of the big boys, we need someone that has fire and is a tough guy who will demand alot. This person should be chosen by our new, experienced, football minded GM.
Brand J Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 It's interesting that they say L. Frazier could make a better head coach than coordinator, b/c that's exactly what I think of Perry Fewell. Fewell has already shown that he demands accountability and will bench a player regardless of name. He also looks like a passionate leader out there. Perry as a DC? Average. Perry as a HC? Above average.
judman Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I had not thought about Jason Garrett before. A strong offensive guy, maybe not even him, should be considered.
lets_go_bills Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Cowher is number one on my wish list. But if we go the coordinator route, I too have Russ Grimm at the top of my list. I absolutely love his blue-collar pedigree and with him being an O-Line guy, you know he'd fix ours and establish a dominant, two-headed monster of a run game that we ought to have. Of course, it's all for naught if we don't bring in quality front office football people.
Fan in San Diego Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Kyle Shanhan get the nod from that list.

Nanker Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I wonder if is available. Could help if we go with the Wildcat in twenty-ten.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I want a HC who comes from an offensive background
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I'm starting to like the sound of Russ Grimm. I think he could be the guy to shore up our OL, establish a solid running game and get a reasonably good QB to produce. Heard from a very reliable source here in Pittsburgh that grimm has been contacted by several teams, but Buffalo was not one of them.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Heard from a very reliable source here in Pittsburgh that grimm has been contacted by several teams, but Buffalo was not one of them. Are you suggesting rules are being broken? Allegedly it's tampering to contact a player or coach under contract in mid-season. PTR
trolls_r_us Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I wonder why Fewell didn't make that list? Mediocre coordinator who is 1-2 as INTERIM HC. But he chest bumps and yells so that must mean he is good.
GG Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Are you suggesting rules are being broken? Allegedly it's tampering to contact a player or coach under contract in mid-season. PTR I don't think that's correct. As long as they have permission from the Steelers, other teams can talk to the assistants for a promotion.
The Poojer Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 i know this reasoning only makes for a good story line, but Russ Grimm is almost a typical buffalo kind of guy....hard working, nothing fancy, dirt under the 'fingernails' kind of guy....being an ex-OL is the kind of toughness that would fit in well with the Buffalo's, Pittsburg's and Cleveland's of the NFL world....for that reason alone I would be in his corner, his experience with AZ just adds to it.....bring him in!!!!! sadly, someone like grimm makes us wait until after playoffs...... I'm starting to like the sound of Russ Grimm. I think he could be the guy to shore up our OL, establish a solid running game and get a reasonably good QB to produce.
cale Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I think Grimm will be OK. I don't know why Fassel doesn't come up more in these discussions. Also, I didn't think this would happen - but Fisher here in TN may be on his way out. There might have been a breach of contract by Bud Adams when he forced Fisher to play Young: http://bit.ly/6kcTwx Fisher is a conservative coach - but he does know how to hire an OC. See Heimerdinger. C
