CountDorkula Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Yes they were #1 in rushing this year and won a playoff game. but one playoff game isnt exactly the EXP im looking for. PS- the JEts were 9th in 2008 and 19th in 2007 in rushing since he took over. NOT #1 the passing attack was even worse. Beware of the one year wonder. P.S. Thomas Jones was number 1 in the AFC those years if i do recall, i dont have the stats in front of me but it sounds right.
K Gun Special Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 P.S. Thomas Jones was number 1 in the AFC those years if i do recall, i dont have the stats in front of me but it sounds right. He was 18th in 07 and 8 in 2008. My only point is that this OC has not been lighting up defenses since hes been at NYJ, yea his personnel blows but then why will he do any better here with this roster? THis has failure written all over it. I dont want to take a bigger chance on an unproven guy. B shott is unproven and his track record isnt stellar.
12thman Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 For what it's worth I decided to tweet our favorite man Adam Schefter on both Marty and Brian to Buffalo rumor, his reply was "Brian Yes, Marty No"

Id like someone to do the leg work and rank them total over the last 3 years. Prolly pretty high. Not #1 I imagine, but up near the top.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 For what it's worth I decided to tweet our favorite man Adam Schefter on both Marty and Brian to Buffalo rumor, his reply was "Brian Yes, Marty No" I think Schefter has proven consistently this offseason that he has zero sources within the Bills organization. If you want to give something a whirl for us twitter-less folks, try and pose the same question to Jay Glazer over on Fox Sports. He does seem to have a few connections with the Bills, I'd be interested in what he has to say since he broke the "Brian Schottenheimer to interview" story yesterday.
K Gun Special Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 They were #1 this year. Id like someone to do the leg work and rank them total over the last 3 years. Prolly pretty high. Not #1 I imagine, but up near the top. Right they had the #1 rushing this year. Big deal. I want a potent offense. #1 in rushing and #17 in scoring doesnt impress me that much. Besides, you can spin it anyway you want but the JEts made the playoffs with the #1 defense in yds allowed and pts allowed. That has more to do with it than B shotts 20th ranked Offense. I mean are you people really saying its all B shott not the #1 defense ?

BillsRUs Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 At this point Jesus Christ descending to coach the Bills won't impress half the fan base. JC Doesn't have HC experience. That would be God.
Captain Caveman Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Does anyone have a link to ESPN reporting this, or was it on TV this morning? I'm not finding anything on their website.

I mean are you people really saying its all B shott not the #1 defense ? Im just saying I think hes more attractive than some of the other candidates we could pick. My#1 is Marty (possibly with B- Shott as OC) 2nd is Harbaugh 3rd is B- Shott 4th is Cowher. Only lower on the list because he obviously doesnt want to be here and because it would cost us a S*&T ton to get him. Then you have to dedicate another 10+m/yr to his assistants. After paying 20-25m/yr to coaches where are we going to come up with money for free agents that he would want. Then you have to think ticket prices go up by 50% within 3 years. Im not saying I wouldnt be ok with Cowher, or happy we had him, but there are reasons he should be down on our lists.
Reed83HOF Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 The more I think of it, Marty would only stick around for about 2-3 seasons anyways and has expeirience in turning a franchise around...I am starting to think I would be more than ok with him...it will get us back on the road to respectibility with a chance to end being able to attract FAs and a good HC next time around. Even if it is his son as AHC/OC and then him possibly taking the reigns...I might be able to live with that.
K Gun Special Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Its my understanding that coordinators cant laterally transfer. I dont know if B shotts contract is up but i dont htink he can come to the bills as his dads OC.

I dont know if B shotts contract is up but i dont htink he can come to the bills as his dads OC. He can come on as coordinator here only if there is a pay raise involved. Even if it's $1 over his current yearly salary with the Jets, that'll work just fine. If a pay raise isn't an option for the Bills, he can come on if another title is added to his current coordinator position, such as "assistant head coach".

I tried to find the precise rule but cant seem to find it anywhere.
WVUFootball29 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 IF I recall correctly, and I'll try to find the exact rule, moving laterally from team to team isn't allowed. If we took on BSchott under his dad, he would have to have the Assistant HC title and a pay raise. I'll see if I can find that rule.
WVUFootball29 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true This article clears up the lateral movement rules a bit.
bkc Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 This coach search has attracted TBD's best and brightest. Apparently reading comprehension is not a pre-req. Why all of the negativity ? The board is all about opinions if people want to get excited over specutlation what is the harm ?t. There has been very little to get excited about on the field. That said, this would be a great thing, Marty then Brian in a few years. omg we might actually get some professional coaching and yes continuity
YellowLinesandArmadillos Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 P.S. I saw the father son report on ESPN this morning. Haven't seen anything in the way of actual facts. And Glazer wasn't the guy reporting it. Can't remember the guys name, but they started talking about the USC replacement first and blowing off the rumor that the Carolina coach Jack Del Rio was interested.
EndZoneCrew Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 At this point Jesus Christ descending to coach the Bills won't impress half the fan base. You're telling me Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball?
