BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 http://blogs.buffalonews.com/billboard/ ILB coach would make the most sense...or maybe a defensive quality control spot.
sllib olaffub Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I don't understand why the Bills would be adding assistant coaches to either side without a coordinator in place. It doesn't make sense to me, and it seems like it would make a potential candidate less attracted by having to accept people already on staff. Unless they are going after guys on these super bowl teams, I just don't understand why they haven't gotten their coordinators in here yet.

I'm fairly confident the Bills already have a d-coordinator in place, he just hasn't been named to the public yet.
inkman Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 http://blogs.buffalonews.com/billboard/ ILB coach would make the most sense...or maybe a defensive quality control spot. The Bills, one of the most notoriously understaffed teams in the NFL in recent years, are going to have 2 guys to coach linebackers. One inside, one outside... What is the player to coach ratio, 4 to 1...at most?

Unless they are going after guys on these super bowl teams, I just don't understand why they haven't gotten their coordinators in here yet. I totally agree, you would think if they are already having problems getting a quality D-Coordinator, telling him that he won't have any input on most of his defensive staff isn't going to make it any easier to get a good DC. Kinda backwards, like Snyder D.C.
Ever Since '86 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 looks like it's Giff Smith for LB coach
nobody Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Dat Nguyen leaves Dallas Cowboys coaching staff Doesn't mention where he is going.
DarthICE Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 So we have an OLB and now possibly a seperate ILB coach? Ummm that says 3-4 to me.
silvermike Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 My best sense of things here is that they're going to announce the entire staff in one go. That's the only reason why they'd be hiring position coaches without a coordinator, and refusing to confirm or announce the hirings as they go.
Tortured Soul Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Bills haven't announced any hirings yet. The only ones that have been leaked are people employed with other organizations. So, it follows that the DC is not currently employed oe is not free to leave the organization.
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Curious... do the rules for interviewing candidates for HC jobs apply to DC candidates as well? I'm not talking about the Rooney rule as much as I'm thinking about periods during which teams can conduct interviews, when the candidate is still coaching in the playoffs. I'd been under the impression that a team has to grant permission for an assistant to be interviewed (and usually does so in the case of a promotion). One would think that'd be less likely in the midst of a playoff run. Considering the speculation that the Bills have found their man, one wonders why else they'd be waiting.
CountDorkula Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Is this happens you realize are current coaching staff is: Chan, Giff, Dat...And throw in a Buddy too. hmm who else can we get to create the greates coaching names in history on one team!
Kipers Hair Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I'm fairly confident the Bills already have a d-coordinator in place, he just hasn't been named to the public yet. Perhaps still has a certain game to coach in?
ACor58 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Do you know who else hires position coaches before they hire head coaches and assitants? Al f**king Davis.
Solomon Grundy Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 So we have an OLB and now possibly a seperate ILB coach? Ummm that says 3-4 to me. What's going to happen to LUCK CHESTER? Is he going back to delivering coffee?
The Poojer Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 i know this isn't directly to your question, but I would imagine interviewing and subsequently hiring Dat Nguyen would satisfy the Rooney Rule Curious... do the rules for interviewing candidates for HC jobs apply to DC candidates as well?

silvermike Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 There is no assistant Rooney Rule. As to a DC coming from a current team, it's worth noting that neither plays a 3-4.
BRH Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Perhaps still has a certain game to coach in? Yeah... Gregg Williams is coming back here.
Thirty Year Fan Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 What's going to happen to LUCK CHESTER? Is he going back to delivering coffee? And ham sandwiches
