Exactly what i was thinking, great hire
Steely Dan Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Lori said: Phillips WAS fired because of a STs coach (Ronnie Jones a year later), but to be honest, I can't remember if Ralph was all that vocal about the MCM. More likely, he would have been bitching about the refs... Good read on DeHaven from back then: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/art...20297/index.htm Thanks, sounds like he missed the city. Lori said: Ronnie was a friend of the family. In fact, Wade's son Wes was the QBs coach under Jones at West Texas A+M until Jones got the ax. And that's a fun little story in itself: http://www.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/stories/041905aba.html Coaching high school ball in Texas now: http://www.martinfootball.com/Football/Coaches/Coaches.html (I heart Google ... ) He's not even the HC there!!!

I don't think there was any particular bad blood between DeHaven and Ralph Wilson or the FO. Ya know if we did not fire DeHaven back then, it's a posibility Wade could still be our coach today.... Great Hire! GO BILLS!

The Buffaloes posted a 5-27 record in three seasons under Jones.
eball Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Welcome back, Bruce!! Great hire in the wake of April's departure.

Nervous Guy Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 DC Tom said: As far as I'm concerned, any coach who would sign with this train wreck of a franchise is showing bad judgement of a kind I wouldn't necessarily want in a coach. Doubly so for a coach that is RE-signing after being fired ten years ago for a single play. thanks for harshing my buzz.

Coaching high school ball in Texas now: http://www.martinfootball.com/Football/Coaches/Coaches.html How the "mighty" have fallen. Look at the comparative resumes of the coaches on that staff. Hilarious.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Great hire! I'm more excited about this than our OC lol (Not Gailey, the other guy)

HelloNewman Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Just for the record I think it was Daryl Porter who suffered the brain cramp and did not stay in his lane?
DC Tom Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Nervous Guy said: thanks for harshing my buzz. It's just a PR move, to sell season tickets. Next thing you know, they'll be re-signing Chuck Dickerson to coach the DL.

I think coaches tend to defend their own hires no matter how badly they perform. Bruce DeHaven will be a good hire, now if only he can find another Steve Tasker
pioniere Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Big thumbs up to getting DeHaven back. I gotta say, I am impressed with what Nix and Gailey have done so far at this very early stage. Here's hoping we get a good DC as well!
cale Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Please God in heaven, can we bring back Rusty Jones. Now there's a comeback I'd like to see...
