B-Man Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Mike Singletary. Very good Defensive Coordinator...........................(poor Head Coach) Available.
Charles Romes Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I'd give one of our assistants a shot for a year and see how it goes. Keep the scheme, the players like it. The fans like it (the fans that enjoy sacks and pressure). Can't hurt. If EJ is our QB, we're at least a year away from the playoffs (unless a miracle happens), why not give them a chance. Keep the same D and hope the chosen DC was in the head of pettine and soaked up enough knowledge of the system to run it. Won't Pettine be taking all the assistants?

Reed83HOF Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Mike Singletary. Very good Defensive Coordinator...........................(poor Head Coach) Available. Interesting; I forgot about him. He strikes me as a Marrone type (hardass)
Beerball Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Won't Pettine be taking all the assistants? If they are under contract no. IIRC a team can turn down a lateral move. If Pettine wanted a DC or OC (not Nat) he could poach those from the Bills.
BillsFanForever19 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Mike Singletary. Very good Defensive Coordinator...........................(poor Head Coach) Available. I actually like that quite a bit. I feel like that would re-energize the vets that would be upset over losing Pettine.
Rob's House Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Didn't Wade make Mario move to OLB in the one season he played in that defense. I thought Mario did not like that. Phillips requires a big wide bodied Nose Tackle to make his defense successful. We do not have a Mt.Washington on this roster. Hire Wade and draft this guy http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=124253&draftyear=2014&genpos=DT

In a thread about who the next DC might be, you managed to take a shot at Manuel, well done.
ganesh Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Wade would be great but I would be shocked if he returned. I do get the impression the Bills have someone in mind though I never understood the love Fewell gets from this board Fewell did win a SB with the Giants running that defense a couple of years ago. If they are under contract no. IIRC a team can turn down a lateral move. If Pettine wanted a DC or OC (not Nat) he could poach those from the Bills. I believe the Coordinators and Position coaches are considered at the same level. A position coach moving to a Coordinator role on another team is considered a lateral move.
reddogblitz Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Here is my DC shopping list (in order): Wade. He has a history of turning bad defenses into good defenses in one season. After that I'd try to get a Seahawk assistant defensive coach. Similar style of D. Attacking and 4-3 anyway. After that I'd consider Singletary. Again, similar style of D. Pepper Johnson intrigues me. I'd go with Donnie Henderson or any other internal guy or college boy as way down on the list. I'm not real high on Fewell. Edited January 23, 2014 by reddogblitz

Houston didn't have a big NT, Wade works with what he has I'd give one of our assistants a shot for a year and see how it goes. Keep the scheme, the players like it.

This Hire Wade and draft this guy http://www.nfldrafts...=2014&genpos=DT love the size but this kid is inconsistent, I wouldn't draft him. Justin Ellis 6'2" 350 LA Tech has looked solid at the senior bowl.
GunnerBill Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I'm pretty certain it would be Henderson. I think O'Neill probably goes with Pettine to be his DC in Cleveland.
CBD Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Mike Singletary. Very good Defensive Coordinator...........................(poor Head Coach) Available. He's never been a DC
YoloinOhio Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Won't Pettine be taking all the assistants? Won't Pettine be taking all the assistants? I am sure Pettine, Marrone and Whaley have already discussed who he would and would not like to take if he gets the job. But I looked up the rule a couple days ago and if the coaches are under contract and they are up for any kind of move other than HC with another team, the Bills don't need to grant permission for them to interview/go to new team. They can keep anyone they want. That said, they may have a plan to replace O'Neil , who was a guy Pettine brought with him, already. They need to weigh the decision of keeping a guy who would maybe rather stick with Pettine than stay with the Bills vs. bring in someone new. I think they would go with the latter.
Kellyto83TD Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 It figures, we actually start making strides on D and the assclown wants to jump ship. Only in Buffalo lol
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) If Pettine leaves, I guarantee that Henderson gets the job. He's very popular with the players and they won't have to change the playbook. No doubt in my mind Henderson is our new defensive coordinator. Edited January 23, 2014 by BillsGuyInWilton

No doubt in my mind Henderson is our new defensive coordinator. just based on how he coached up Leodis McKelvin makes him deserving of the job.
Saint Doug Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 If Pettine leaves, I guarantee that Henderson gets the job. He's very popular with the players and they won't have to change the playbook. No doubt in my mind Henderson is our new defensive coordinator. You may not be giving it, but I just don't understand the love for Henderson. He's been a DC before and has crashed and burned. Not exactly an inspiring choice, but I suppose this is what we should expect. I guess we should be focusing on Marrone's past buddies too. I would vote for Wade. A proven DC. just based on how he coached up Leodis McKelvin makes him deserving of the job. Yes, he seems to be a very good secondary coach. Fwiw, Stephon didn't exactly light it up though.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 just based on how he coached up Leodis McKelvin makes him deserving of the job. He deserves "time's man of the year" award for that one.
Mike in Syracuse Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I like the thought of Henderson but Wade Phillips has a fantastic track record as a DC. Let's not forget, Wade made John Holocek look great. Imagine what he could do with Kiko
