But apparently talks to honestly about how he feels. Can you imagine someone who is honest? I just don't get it.
Dr. Fong Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 In all honesty I'd rather have an offensive mind at head coach. I know it's not a popular opinion around here, but offense has always been the driving force in the NFL. Defense is always just playing catch up.

Fixxxer Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 He strike me as another great DC with no HC material, my guts tells me so, so don't ask me for links.
JPS Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 It would not surprise me at all if he got a HC job.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Compounding that is he was an assistant for so long. How come no HC job?? Makes me wonder if there's a reason, maybe it's this "honesty" thing?? He strike me as another great DC with no HC material, my guts tells me so, so don't ask me for links.

mrpunchy Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 defense wins championships and he coordinated some pretty good ones. This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Listen I'm all for interviewing lots of people. But to not give this guy an opportunity seems foolish.
Nick the Greek Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Great resume. I'm actually surprised he hasn't been offered a head coaching gig since 2008.. The Bungles D has been solid
NoSaint Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Threads that mention him often mention his mental makeup isn't seen as head coach material Don't have a source but many here have said it, for what it's worth
mrpunchy Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 The most effective leaders hold people accountable. If that is a problem with mental make up then I guess he is not HC material. Hey maybe the guy is a huge dick but so was Parcells.
mrpunchy Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 In all fairness, he is still coaching this weekend so it's not like interviewing him is even a possibility.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Listen I'm all for interviewing lots of people. But to not give this guy an opportunity seems foolish. He could be the next Mike Smith or the next Mike Singletary. Not sure the Bills have the luxury of rolling the dice on that one.
mob16151 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Who would he bring with him? He might be able to bring Hue Jackson with him as OC
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 He might be able to bring Hue Jackson with him as OC That actually wouldn't be bad.
mob16151 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 That actually wouldn't be bad. Maybe Mark Carrier and Ken Zampese as well
