chaccof Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 I hear Gene Chizek is available....He's sort of been coaching a pro team for a few years now...
Wagon Circler Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 I think a 14-29 record to date merits another year.
peterpan Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 There's no established coach in his right mind that would take over this team. This team will only be coached by unproven or washed up "talents". There is no reason to play or coach for the Bills. Thats why I siggest Tom Cable. No other team will touch him and he had success with a schitty Oakland team (6-0 in his division his last eyar)
Maguire's Beer Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Billick would take the job (or any head coaching job) in a heartbeat. But besides a guy like Billick who has been on the outside for a while, how is this not an appealing job? They have talent at most positions now and no track record to live up to immediately. The GM/Owner HAVE spent money on players. QB and LB are the glaring weaknesses that they would have time to fill with their own guys. Most any potential head coach would take that. Ah, but there's the ownership problem. Ralph doesn't have a great reputation as an employer (just ask Wade, or Polian, or AJ Smith, or Mularkey), and worse, he's likely to die soon - without any succession plan. I'm not sure I'd like to work for an erratic owner, with the added threat of a new owner likely to come on board with new ideas for managing the team. It's not a recipe for success.
Nuncha Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 we would probably lose a turn LOL - Lose a turn or constantly land on "go back to start"
Dat Dude Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Gailey press conference I always make poor calls during the game. Did I hear that????? :bag:
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 They'll just put Wanny in charge. We all know it. :death:
DPR4444 Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Chan knows its over. /And he knows this was his last NFL head coaching opportunity.
benderbender Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Gailey knows handing the ball off to Spiller is our best bet so he thinks they think we think that. So by NOT running Spiller, he's being outside the box...of reality.
Smears Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 He'll go down as one of the worst head coaches in Bills history, and that's a major accomplishment with all the awful ones over the years. What a total failure. There is a reason why he didnt get a HC job in Pittsburgh in his prime. He doesnt fight with the refs on the clear fumble in the redzone. He has no intensity
Fan in San Diego Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Sadly it's time to turn the page again. Lets spin the wheel again. Billick anyone ? Billick would be good. Gruden would be good. Cowher would be good.
Helpmenow Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 How money are the willing to throw at them?
CodeMonkey Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Could Jim Kelly do a worse job than this mess? And what a great movie it would make if we do make the playoffs with Jimbo, Talley, Thurman and some of the other guys with the grit and passion from the trenches with no coaching experience! That would have good comedic value I suppose. The Bills are a laughing stock already. Can you imagine how much more of one they would be putting someone with absolutely no experience in the HC position of an NFL team? If the goal is to have the national media talk about Buffalo, that would certainly get it done. But not in a way any Bills fan should want.
TC in St. Louis Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 They should cut the OC and donate his salary to some charity. Because he's useless. What they really should do is let him call the plays, and have Chan take over as head coach. He has no idea what his defense is doing. He has no idea what's going on with special teams. He needs to be the head coach, and let his offensive coordinator take over.
BillsVet Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Modkins makes the Tim Horton's run in the mornings and on those late nights they're working on game-plans that don't feature their best offensive player.
Dr. K Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Chan was asked, do you regret not running the ball more? His answer; I always make wrong calls during the ball game. That happens all the time!!!! You have got to be kidding me? Wow only in Buffalo does this loser of a coach keep his job. If no one believes he said it check out his presser on the Bills site. Should he have said, "No, all my calls are perfect for the situation. I never make mistakes?" Not that I'm defending him, but get serious. He'll go down as one of the worst head coaches in Bills history, and that's a major accomplishment with all the awful ones over the years. What a total failure. Harvey Johnson John Rauch Kay Stevenson He's got a long way to go yet.
HalftimeAdjustment Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Ah, but there's the ownership problem. Ralph doesn't have a great reputation as an employer (just ask Wade, or Polian, or AJ Smith, or Mularkey), and worse, he's likely to die soon - without any succession plan. I'm not sure I'd like to work for an erratic owner, with the added threat of a new owner likely to come on board with new ideas for managing the team. It's not a recipe for success. What if you got a contract that was guaranteed, as most are? Owner dies - new owner fires you - you take the money and go back to work as a coordinator. How would being the HC in Buffalo be bad for a coordinator's resume? It did not hurt the career or earning potential of Gregg Williams (3 DC jobs) or Mike Mularkey (OC, HC jobs) at all... on balance it probably helped Dick Jauron's career as well. Wade Phillips, also doing well. Based on the history it seems that being a HC in Buffalo is better than being a coordinator almost anywhere else, and only worse than being a HC at a winning program or perhaps a major college HC.
