Haven Moses Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Oh there is always a Harvey Johnson or Hank Bullough in there somewhere. Think old and from the south. Dave Campo? Phil Fullmer?
GG Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 That would be Carl Mauch. He was fun to watch. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/post/ross-tucker-tells-hilarious-steve-spurrier-stories/2011/07/22/gIQAmjhXTI_blog.html Furthering Dilfer's point that half of nfl is populated by idiots.
1billsfan Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I thought about Jay Gruden who is not included w his bro. I think Jay Gruden is the perfect coach to go after. He's ready to be an NFL head coach, I think he'll be one of the best in the league when he does get his shot, and lastly I think the Bills would have a decent shot at landing him.
Meathead Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 gump worsley just bc he has such a cool name
HamSandwhich Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I'm trying to figure out how we know Chan's a goner? Do you have some inside info or something?
San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I'm trying to figure out how we know Chan's a goner? Do you have some inside info or something? Would you like to make a friendly wager on that?
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I know he's currently employed and his team is still in it, but if they fall out and Jerry gets antsy and goes after a BIG NAME, maybe Jason Garrett could be an option? The idea of Jay Gruden is interesting too, and though I would hate it but it would match their 'promote from within' theory, we should be including Curtis Modkins, Wannstedt, and maybe even Joe D, who has already been mentioned once.
Guffalo Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 You forgot Chuckles the Clown Chuckles has a 3 year deal, no way Ralph would pay the freight on that move
EasternOHBillsFan Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Add these names to the list... most are serious, one is a wish, one is a joke! Gus Bradley Jim Caldwell Tony Dungy Wade Phillips Norv Turner (I laughed after typing that) Mike Zimmer (why not?)
BobChalmers Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) I would both like and guess Billick. He wants the job, he has credibility. He's an offensive guy who knew how to work with a good defense and DC and let them do their thing while supporting them. Mind you - Gailey has a lot of similar qualities - but he lacks the SB ring and credibility that goes with it, and Gailey is clearly fried. Billick should be refreshed and ready to go - he's been spending all his time relaxing and watching game films. I'm trying to figure out how we know Chan's a goner? Do you have some inside info or something? "Know" is a strong word, but Nix's most recent interview comments were not encouraging for Gailey. Sorry I don't have a link.

I'm with you- we should have hired him instead of Gailey, as I advocated for... he has rep and I imagine is itching to come back. I love the guy's spirit, intensity, and attention to detail.
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I wish Wade would be the choice, but obviously it would never happen. This defense has the tools to be good, Wade would be perfect to sharpen it. I'm not sure about his touch on the offensive side of the ball, we would need a strong OC and Wade would focus more on the D, like the over-emphasis model Chan does with O vs. D. Would Modkins be ready to call the offense on his own? Wait... Wade probably would want to go back to 3-4... nevermind.
Maybe Someday Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Jay Gruden is an interesting idea. We’ve got no shot at the big name coaches so we’ve got to find an up and comer but as much as I believe he should be, I’m still not 100% sure that Chan is a goner. If we play well and win the last 2 games, I can see him getting a stay of execution. That’s how this organization operates. If he is back, I think he’s got to hire an OC (and probably a new DC) so he can focus more on the team as a whole. Last night on MNF, they made mention that Tom Moore is healthy and wants to be an OC again. If that’s the case, he’d be a great addition, but I don’t really expect that to happen. If Chan does go, we’ll probably all be shaking our heads at who we do hire to replace him. Just watch, it’ll be Norv Turner and he’ll keep Wanny as the DC.
The Senator Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Time to go with a proven winner... Chuck Dichter
GOBILLS78 Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 It's so, so, so obviously going to be Jerry Gray. Now let's move on.
DJasper Probincrux III Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Brad Childress Jack DelRio Eric Mangini Steve Mariucci Pete Metzelaars Mike Nolan Mike Singletary Mike Tice Dave Wannstedt From that list these are the ones I think are possible. I deleted all the hot coordinators for lack of experience. I deleted all the college guys because they will all want much more money than RW will pay a coach. I deleted all the successful former coaches as they will also be too expensive. I deleted Brian Billick because he is a gigantic blowhard who was an offensive "mastermind" when he went to Baltimore, couldnt find a QB his whole time there and rode Marvin Lewis and Rex Ryan to success. I deleted Andy Reid because he's going to San Diego or BYU. Everyone remaining on this list except Metzelaars has a track record of failure and ineptitude in some fashion that makes them damaged, cheaper, and less likely to go elsewhere.
Toledo Bill Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 If Lovie Smith gets fired he might be a good choice.
DJasper Probincrux III Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 If Lovie Smith gets fired he might be a good choice. Yeah, he likes the Tampon 2 defense. We can bring back Monte Kiffin to coordinate it.
