USABuffaloFan Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Almost every assistant coach of the Bills this past year has found a job pretty quickly around the league. Nix was put in charge to find the next man, releasing every coach but keeping Modrak and Guy. How can things be worse than they were after Levy took over, Mularkey actually walked away from the job. We interviewed Fassel and Sherman back then but went with Jauron. The problem with the Bills search this time is they went right for the top candidates and were turned down. They made a circus of the search (telling everyone they would spend 10mil/year) in the media to the point now anyone who takes the job will be looked at as a downgrade for the position. Who would want to be in that position? What the Bills should have done was follow there own advise and past history. Interview the Billicks, Shermans, Fassels first, then add a few coordinators but this time hire "the right football guy". To often this team gets players and coaches with not enough experience or mediocre stats. Jauron had a losing record, Maybin played 1 true year not even being the starter at the beginning of the year. Why does this seem to keep happening? The reason is the right questions were never asked in the interview, they got the wrong guys. Here is were Nix can actually do the right thing. Nix can still turn this around. If Frazier is the guy then make a statement NOW the Bills have found their man and are waiting for the playoffs to end, interviewing is done. If they still have reservations then interview Martz who stated he is interested, the press would be good and peak interest in the team. Then see if Fassel, Sherman, Billick would like an interview. At this point, ESPN and local press will then be saying different things about the Buffalo Bills. A new personna of the franchise will emerge for the better. Buffalo made the first poor impression by going for guys that never would be coming here not knowing fully what type of team we are. If they wanted to talk to those guys they should have hired one of them as temporary consultants watching Fewel and the last few weeks of the year. Then they could give a reccomendation where they thought Bills should go. Maybe they even would throw their own name in since seeing how the operation was running instead of listening to rumors might actually have excited them to coaching again. That would have been great media press and we wouldn't be whinning and crying right now. As a matter of fact I would hire Dungy, Walsh use to do this, having him reccomend where Buffalo should head interviewing now. Having an outside opinion right now asking what is wrong with this franchises image, might actually start repairing it. This would give us some instant credibility!
