Consistency, reliable and true to course are valued by the players. Buffalo has suffered so much discombobulation o'er these 14 years or more , no one knows where to hang their damned hat or how to lace the cleats. Even if Pettine jumps ship ( i mean that literally ) Marrone owns what the players perceive in being a Bill. No small feat . I pity the man sometimes while others want his pass key to the facilty. Bills have been one of the most challenging teams to take on i wager. Browns of course or trying to outdo us of late. !

A little different circumstance here; we've never had a guy leave for a promotion. This would also mean that even if get another DC, the scheme will be the same.
Nitro Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Pettine seems to be the only guy in the process who wants the job. Haslam has a PR nightmare on his hands. Firing Chud has a more profound effect on Cleveland than he or his front office realize. Unless you are a guy desperate to get back into the game or wanting your first HC job, no one wants the gig. I was surprised Mike Lombardi did not offer the job to NFL Network colleague Brian Billick. Billick was in the running for the Bills job
OldTimer1960 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (-)1 I don't care.. he has 5 SB rings (2 as a player and 3 as a coach)...He has been on a defensive staff that wins this very division every single year for over a decade. I'll take the system he installs any day over Pettine's. Will he bring Tom Brady? Brady, not the defense, is why NE has been competitive in the last 5 years.
Bangarang Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 It's over folks. Time to look for a new DC. Daryl Ruiter @RuiterWrongFAN 2m Hearing that Jimmy Haslam, Joe Banner, Alec Scheiner & Mike Lombardi all few to Mobile, Ala to meet w/ Pettine tonight #Browns Daryl Ruiter @RuiterWrongFAN 2m It marks the first time that the big 4 will meet with a candidate together #Browns
Dean Cain Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 If Pettine was smart he'd come back to Buffalo in 2014, and help us make the playoffs. If next year 6-7 HC positions open as usual, Pettine would likely be the #1 option.
Bangarang Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Some more bad news from another media source Tony Grossi @TonyGrossi 10m Hearing #Browns may pop the question to Mike Pettine tonight.
OldTimer1960 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Some more bad news from another media source [/background][/i][/size][/font][/color] Well this would truly suck. No good candidates on the current staff. No top candidates that are currently "on the street" AND any outsider is going to set the D back by changing schemes and coaches again. What a nightmare.
YoloinOhio Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Welp - it's been real. MP, we hardly knew ye. Will he bring Tom Brady? Brady, not the defense, is why NE has been competitive in the last 5 years. He was there before the last 5 years, when the defense was great.

All the more reason to give Donnie Henderson the nod. That would be the most seamless transition. And from all that I've heard, the players love the guy. GO BILLS!!!
OldTimer1960 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) All the more reason to give Donnie Henderson the nod. That would be the most seamless transition. And from all that I've heard, the players love the guy. GO BILLS!!! Here is Henderson's coaching resume (courtesy of Wikipedia). You tell me if that sounds like a good candidate: Henderson first joined the Jets during the 2004 NFL season.[1] In 2005, the Jets had a second-ranked defense against the pass, but a 32nd-ranked defense against the run, which undoubtedly was one of the factors leading to the team's disappointing 4-12 record (in addition to Chad Pennington and Curtis Martin being absent for most of the season due to injury). Henderson was not kept on after head coach Herman Edwards was replaced by Eric Mangini following the season. Henderson soon accepted the defensive coordinator position for the Detroit Lionsand new head coach, Rod Marinelli. The Lions went 3-13 in 2006 and finished the season ranked 27th out of 32 in total defense. Henderson was fired from his position on January 2, 2007. In 2010, he was hired by the Arizona Cardinals as a defensive backs coach.[2] Henderson coached at Southern University in 2011 and was named the Defensive Backs coach at Syracuse University in 2012.[3] He was hired by the Buffalo Bills in 2013 to coach the defensive backs.[4] Edited January 22, 2014 by OldTimer1960

No top candidates that are currently "on the street" AND any outsider is going to set the D back by changing schemes and coaches again. What a nightmare. There is always Wade Phillips. It's been rumored that his favorite place to work was Buffalo and if Ralph is out of the picture it might entice him to come back. Maybe that's just wishful thinking but I think he'd be welcomed back with open arms by the fan base. And we will just keep on keeping on. Time to hurry up to standby for an to this madness Daryl Ruiter @RuiterWrongFAN 49sHearing #Browns intent tonight is to be told by Pettine on why they should offer him the job, if they like what they hear they just might

I acknowledge that Phillips has almost always produced good defenses, but I can't see how changing coaches, schemes and players again is anything but a big step backwards.
papazoid Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 If Pettine was smart he'd come back to Buffalo in 2014, and help us make the playoffs. If next year 6-7 HC positions open as usual, Pettine would likely be the #1 option. $24 mil in Cap space, two 1st round picks, if Cleveland offers the job for 4-5 years GUARANTEED....you take it !!
Bangarang Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 It was fun while it lasted folks Dave McKinley @DaveMcKinley2 1mESPN Cleveland says #Buffalo #Bills DC Pettine will be offered #Browns HC job 2Nite. .@wgrz #NFL
OldTimer1960 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 It was fun while it lasted folks [/background][/font][/color] DISASTER I am trying to stay positive and I think Marrone did a decent job, but who the heck is going to coach the defense?
