Ever Since '86 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 What is asinine about the whole situation is that Wade wouldn't go to the mat for Bruce, but laid down in front of the bus for Ronnie Jones- or whoever that clown was he wouldn't fire at Wilson's insistence. Exactly what i was thinking, great hire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 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. 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!!!

cfbillsfan Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Well, wasn't it Philips who made him the scapegoat and brought in his crony? 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 And that's a fun little story in itself:http://www.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/stories/041905aba.html ouch This September, Jones would have begun his fourth year at the helm. The Buffaloes posted a 5-27 record in three seasons under Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous Guy Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 He's no Bobby April but he's probably the next best thing. Please remind me of why he was fired. My memory fails me on that one. Thanks. He was Bobby April before Bobby April became Bobby April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloNewman Posted January 29, 2010 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioniere Posted January 29, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
