CodeMonkey Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Oh, OK. He says he didn't want to return to coaching on his radio show but deep down inside he really did. And the Bills are at fault for not hiring him. Give me a freakin' break. Tim Graham, Where in this article is there even a mention or quote that he said this. What's your source? Why didn't he mention that on his radio show? What BS! According to the resident who hasn't been wrong yet, it was sort-of true. Marty was interested in the job, but it wasn't Ralph that turned him down.
loyal2dagame Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 tim graham was on wgr 550 this morning. he said: fassel, martz, billick,and trestman all wanted the job along with marty. none were interviewed. also, TG says it WAS without a doubt ralph's call not to hire marty, regardless of what the bills are currently spinning.

Of course they wanted the job. Besides Trestman, they are all unemployed. Just because they wanted it doesn't mean the Bills had to call them. I'm glad Fassel, Billick and Martz were not called.

UlyssesNorris Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I say who cares? Watch all of these media goons who are pissed they did not have the scoop to try and discredit what the Bills are doing. The more Timmy G. posts, the more I think he has a hatchet to grind with the Bills, ala, Mike Schopp. Right On!

Sisyphean Bills Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Me thinks you and some other posters don't understand what a source is. Ya think?
BuffaloFan68 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Evidently, Schottenheimer wanted the job, but Wilson pulled the chicken switch. http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/...anted-bills-gig Does everyone forget the trash talk from Marty Shottenheimer back in the late 80's when he said that Buffalo was a sh*t-hole that he would never want to go back to? I don't blame Ralph one bit.
nucci Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 agree completely with your take, but i think TG was making the point that regardless of what the media is spewing about the bills and the coaching search, there were very interested people out there who were more than willing to come to the b-lo Right, I agree with Nix also that he received many calls. No matter the organization, coaches want to a head coach of an NFL team. Pay and perks are pretty good.
AxelRipper Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 all these people who say they wanted the job, how do we know they WEREN'T interviewed? I mean, we didnt know that Gailey was even interviewed or in the running, so who's to say that we didnt interview them all in secret and not hire them for reasons only known within the organization?
nobody Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Me thinks you and some other posters don't understand what a source is. I just find it funny how people demand to know the source from one side of a story but then take the other side as gospel.
The Poojer Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 seeing as how i am a part of this rogue side, and fumbled miserably in trying to get my point across, i want to stress that I am not taken it as gospel, simply as differing point of view, and as a result, clarification as to which story is accurate, which i have actually done some legwork on my own and received further validation that it may not be as it was presented to us.....but I am skeptical and I will leave it at that I just find it funny how people demand to know the source from one side of a story but then take the other side as gospel.
Terry Tate Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I have no problem with Tim G reporting that - according to "sources close to Schottenheimer", Ralph Wilson is the one who made the decision not to interview/hire him. However, his source is not going to know that for a fact. It is far more likely that Ralph is simply willing to take the heat for Buddy not wanting to hire his friend. Unless he has "sources close to Buddy Nix", to say that it was without a doubt that Ralph made that call is total BS. Perhaps that is why he said it on radio, and did not submit it to be published. The story he posted is only one side.
DE Bills Fan Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Another example of an organization totally with no sense of what it is doing. Even if you put to the side the facts that Marty has been successful where ever he has gone, runs a system perfectly suited for Buffalo and actually wanted to come here, how can this fraud of an organization not due it's due diligence and interview all possible candidates. Hell, they are not doing anything anyway. That's what a responsible business does, whether it is hiring the best candidate, or purchasing a company. I am done with this joke of an organization. The more I read, the worse it gets. Watching that press conference yesterday further validated how I fell. I am cancelling my Sunday Ticket and not wasting my money, and valuable time, on them anymore. Pathetic!!!!

Why didn't he mention that on his radio show? What BS! why bs? i was told two months ago, the week Jauron was fired, that Marty would listen if contacted by the Bills, which is why i included his name as a candidate in several of my pieces. and kudos to Tim for his work on this. jw
Orton's Arm Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I don't get the Marty love around here. I know he made the playoffs, but his teams were always so darn tight once they got there. One of the worst big game coaches ever. Losing out on Brain is another matter though. Would have been nice to see what he'd do with this job. Regarding the Marty love around here: I think it's mostly because fans are thinking, at least he usually got to the playoffs, which is more than you can say about Jauron. Even if he choked horribly once he got to the playoffs, he's still a step up from Jauron. With his long track record, he's as close to a sure thing as the Bills are going to get. The thing is that Ralph wasn't looking for a coach to be a step up from Jauron. He wanted a coach that would give this team its best possible chance to win a Super Bowl. A playoff choke artist like Schottenheimer was not that guy. Whether Gailey can be that guy remains to be seen, and largely depends on who he picks as defensive coordinator.
The Poojer Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 i just read somewhere that in 15 years as a head coach or coordinator/assistant coach, gailey's teams have gone to the playoffs 11 times Regarding the Marty love around here: I think it's mostly because fans are thinking, at least he usually got to the playoffs, which is more than you can say about Jauron.
