zdro22 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 The NFL has turned into a real snobby p u s s y league, what happened to coaches and player that would love to be in a REAL football town? Now they all want to go to warm weather cities with a night life and spas and all the other fruity crap these modern day warriors crave. Players, Coaches, pussies. weather has nothing to do with it...you think if the GB job popped open schotty and anyother candidate woudlnt be falling over themselves to get that job. Its about the roster and wether or not they will be given the opportunity to suceed. Something that hasnt exactly been a selling point around here for the past decade
Fewell733 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Its about the roster and wether or not they will be given the opportunity to suceed. and succeed in the short run. Any team without a viable QB on the roster has an exceptionally tough time winning - you need a dominant O-line and defense to even hope to sniff the playoffs. And today if you don't win quickly, that could be it.
Pozitive51 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 This organization is completely mis managed. We had a 6 week jump on the entire NFL and didn't do anything until December 31st.... and it was an internal hire! With the nineth pick in the NFL draft the coachless Bills select...
NobesBLO13 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I think it also may have to do with the idea of an uncapped year and possibly uncapped league going forward. We could potentially be the KC Royals of the NFL and no one of any respectability would want to coach that. It'd be a losing battle.
CodeMonkey Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 plus he's a really young coach. He may want to actually finish building something before taking off. Exactly. Sanchez was a rookie QB this year and really stunk it up for the most part (as most do). They have some good tools in place on the Jets. Another year or two for Sanchez to mature and they should be a force. If/When that happens he will probably have teams with a much better situation and reputation than Buffalo's courting him for a HC position. For him to take the HC job now in Buffalo would be a big mistake for him. Declining the interview in this case saves everyone a lot of time and bother.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Schefter now says Bills next HC: 1. Frazier 2. Grimm 3. The Field Some great investigative work there by Schefter.
NobesBLO13 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Schefter now says Bills next HC: 1. Frazier 2. Grimm 3. The Field Some great investigative work there by Schefter. I'm done listening to the three headed BS monster that is Schefter Clayton Mort
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I'd like to know when we are going to interview Ron Rivera. I know he said not until after the season, but odds are that's another "thanks but no thanks" response.
Griz Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 The denial from other candidates is making the Billick option more attractive. Not because he may be the only one left... but because he would come with a huge chip on his shoulder. Always a big motivator. The Coach nobody wanted with the organization nobody wanted... starting to look like a nice marriage. Interesting take...
All_Pro_Bills Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 He always seemed like an odd choice to me because up until the Jets backed into the playoffs when the Colts and Bengals rolled over, most Jets fans I know wanted this guy fired because his play calling was terrible. Personally, I have no opinion of his play calling but find to disparity in perception strange.
Kipers Hair Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Get ready for much of this....Buffalo simply is not an attrative option to anyone these days. The Leslie Frazier train will be pulling in WNY next week - Wednesday I say.
Pozitive51 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Its time to accept reality.. its likely Leslie Frazier. Will somebody please help a brother out and tell us why I should be excited. We have got to catch lightening in the bottle here.
reddogblitz Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Meanwhile....Brian Billick sits at home. So does Jim Fassel and Mike Martz
BillsVet Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Before everyone panics, we should keep in mind B. Shotty's father is good friends with our GM. Meaning, he certainly has some inside info on the search and the conditions of the hire. Wait, I guess we should panic. It doesn't matter at this point. The Bills will hire a lesser known coordinator and then attempt to sign a high profile player to make up for it. What sells to a fan base is new players, either FA or rookies and a new coach. They've banked on that for years now, without results. The results are generally the same, but those aren't known until the end of the season after tickets are sold.
DarthICE Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Even though the Jets granted the Bills permission, New York offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer declined the chance to interview for the Buffalo head coaching job this week or after the season, according to sources Well that can shut some of the homers up.
Chandler#81 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 How about interviewing High School coaches from Sweet Home, Orchard Park and North Tonawanda!!! Why? Those gigs are too good to walk away from. Go 'Jacks!
DarthICE Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Hopefully Grimm and they make it so FAST. Why? WTF has he done in the NFL coaching wise, that warrants a HC job? NOTHING is the answer.
XTC Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Leslie Frazier is a strong candidate. Not sure why everyone is down on him. He probably is the strongest candidate we will interview, unless Jason Garrett truly is a dark horse. As has been the case in the past, and will continue to be the case going forward, until the following three things happen, it doesn't matter who is HC 1) The post-Ralph Wilson ownership situation is resolved 2) RW opens up his pocket books to show that he is committed to success 3) RW completely steps back from having influence on personnel decisions. This includes who to hire in the FO, who to draft, who to sign and who to re-sign. It is no wonder that coaches are afraid to coach the Bills. Though, as I've said, there are also plenty of reasons a HC should consider coming to Buffalo. I just think they are overshadowed by historical concerns. Time to get Jerry Richardson on the Horn!
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 This is just delightful. When Brian Schottenheimer shoots you down, you're pretty well screwed.
