Fan in San Diego Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 How many Coaches can you name off the top of your head that turned around a perennially terrible FBS football program inside of two years? Did Chip Kelly do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 In substance we have no idea what this move will lead to. The team's personnel problems will remain before them no matter who the coach is. Philosophically speaking from a pure business management perspective, this has been an atypical coaching search for this team leading to a somewhat atypical hire compared to their recent history. The fact that they Beuford T. Justiced out of Buffalo in high speed pursuit to Arizona to get a coach is not Ralph's MO. This may or may not be a winning move, but it is an aggressive move demonstrating an aggressive mindset. We'll see. If this team starts to win, most of us won't care what it looks like or who gets the credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Wide Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 LOL. And I suppose you did not support them? Your handle on here is the ultimate example of false advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outsidethebox Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Peace Bridge is always a good choice but the Skyway doesn't have customs to get through. PTR Thanks PTR, I knew I could count on you. I will really regret this if the team starts winning again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 You find it funny now. Wait a couple years and see if you dont agree. I can promise you...They could bring Mickey Mouse in here as a HC and I would like him more than Jauron...You have absolutely no idea how deep my disdain for Jauron goes...

Beerball Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Beerball, not knowing much about him, do you think his offense will work in the NFL? How is he at making changes during the game? Yeah, his offense will work as long as he has a QB, decent WRs and a running game. How's that for going out on a limb? Yes...I do think his offense will work, but we must get QBs prior to next season. I can add one more don't like after thinking on this a bit...seemed like several times a game he called (or his QB threw) low percentage passes on 3rd down. That drives me crazy, throwing deep on 3rd down because it is a low % move. Maybe once a game, but not 2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 No. And I understand youre just trying to be ridiculous. Basic football knowledge is that it comes down to the HC. It was Gailey's fault he didnt demand that Wanny blitz more. And it's Marrones fault if he didn't demand his OC not throw every time on 3rd and short - IF it was the OC calling the plays. Your furious about the hiring but after following so close - you don't even know the play caller. You don't see why that's a bit off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optometric Insight Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Here's the problem. Some people think. 1) If you dont like a decision the Bills made = You're a troll. 2) If you despise the decision = You're not a true fan. Neither is true. If you crusade about him being a good coach, youre not trolling and youre a true fan. If youre adament that he is a bad coach, then youre a troll and youre not a fan. It's non-sense. I've been a Bills coach for nearly 3 decades. 1 and 2) not true at all. If you post your thoughts repeatedly without any facts, whether its positive or negative, is crusading that nobody appreciates and makes you a troll. If you state that you're leaving the team 5 hours after no official statement and before you hear what staff brings in, you're not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 If Russ Brandon wants to regionalize the Bills, maybe he should scrap the Toronto series and schedule a game in the Carrier Dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Wow. Thought you were just bitter. Apparently, you are more troll than anything else. Look up the Lovie Smith thread. This guy has zero to offer beyond what he's been posting here. LS: "I don't like X" TSW: "Why? Can you provide some support / facts / evidence for your position?" LS: "X sucks." TSW: "about that evidence?" LS: "it's not my fault that you're delusional." One cannot argue or converse with a brick wall. I'm guessing Literate Stylish didn't lead a turnaround for the SU debate team in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiterateStylish Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 But the ultimate question is, does he punt from inside the opponents forty? Does Nassib (sp?) have a strong arm? To the first question, YES. And it is very frustrating. He is Gailey 2.0 as far as situational situations go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC-Bills Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 First, if anyone believes that Russ Brandon has NOT already been calling the shots for the past three years, you are crazy! His relationship with Ralph since 2008 has very simply been...."Mr. Wilson, we believe Chan Gailey is the absolute best available candidate for our next HC! We are prepared to offer him XYZ contract". Ralph's reply...."what did you say...I can't hear a thing....whatever.....go ahead...I'm exhausted" Sooooooo, my point? Simple: Nothing is going to change, proof one this morning. Doug Marrone? Are you kidding me. Cheap, yes. Figure Head, yes. Puppet, yes. Experienced, accomplished, well respected, feared........NO WAY. Typical move from a typical non-qualified CEO. TYPICAL. Mark my words....three years from now, Doug will be gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't belive this............ Go read the posting by SDS about your Ralph Wilson comments. Not needed and not funny. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/154266-important-discussion-regarding-ralph-wilson/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 You are quite right. But my point stands. RB is from Cuse and a big Orange backer. This still smacks of marketing and not the best football decision. Marrone was Curtis Modkins in NO under Payton. His Cuse work has been good, but it was in a pathetic conference. I dunno...I'm dissapointed. It may work ... guess I will focus on being happy today for having a NHL season and get some distance from the Bills for a bit. You're right. There is going to be a mad rush from the metropolis of Syracuse because we hired Marrone. Are people serious with this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) After reading up on this guy. I think he will be a good hire. We will be drafting Nassib as well. Go Bills! Edited January 6, 2013 by Fan in San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
