playman Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 good for him. now we can look at freemans play to find out if its our loss. or gain ^^
NewHampshireBillsFan Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...coach-bucs-qbs/ I'm surprised he got a decent job this quickly. It wasn't long ago that Alex was an offensive quality control coach and he wasn't a QB coach for long. But I think it helped that he is a bright guy and he couldn't be blamed for all the offensive problems the team had last year. This continues to dispel the notion that Bills assistant coaches, not being among the best paid in the league, are somehow inferior and that is a big reason for our problems. When coaches leave here they mostly seem to be offered good jobs elsewhere and stay on other teams staffs for a long period. But now some people are already being negative about our new assistant coaches. I say that when THEY leave here some day they will also do well getting decent jobs elsewhere.

South Jersey Bills Fan Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I'm not going to read the article because I wanted to give a sarcastic response... Washing balls?
Mike in Horseheads Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...coach-bucs-qbs/ Good for AVP, he fell on the sword for Jauron and lack of talent but seldom if ever bitched.
CardinalScotts Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 guys a good football mind we just didnt have the QB's to take advantage of it.
rstencel Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 +1 though I would say AVP was in over his head as a coordinator last year. He was very handicapped by the timing of getting the job. He didn't have time to develop of put in a system of his own. He was stuck with a simplified system that was put in by someone else, and limited in what he could do by his head coaches preference of not using allot of formations. The offence wasn't good obviously, but its tough to blame it all on him, since he really wasn't put in a great position.
DDD Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Well for Tampa's sake I sure hope he's a better QB coach than OC.
DC Tom Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 +1 though I would say AVP was in over his head as a coordinator last year. So would I...and hasten to add that it had little to do with AVP as much as it did the depth of the **** he was thrown into. All things considered, he didn't do that bad a job last year.
cfbillsfan Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Good to hear, always liked AVP. Glad he is still in the league. GO BILLS!
Mr. WEO Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Good for AVP, he fell on the sword for Jauron and lack of talent but seldom if ever bitched. Fell on the sword??? He was promoted by DJ to OC despite being completely unqualified for that position.
K-9 Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Good for the doughboy. AVP deserved a better fate. I still think he'll make one helluvan OC one day. Good luck, Alex. GO BILLS!!!
banjo moe Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...coach-bucs-qbs/ I knew he would get hired somewhere even if it wasn't as a offensive coordinator http://www.minnpost.com/client_files/alter...Doughboy452.jpg
kota Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Have a nice career Freeman. I give you 5 years tops. I like AVP but he is a terrible coach. Edwards and Losman learned nothing from him. AVP is a former QB who didn't do much in the league. Someone who is as bad as him shouldn't be coaching.
stinky finger Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Best of luck, AVP. Though we'll hardly know you're gone.
