Kelly the Dog Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I don't care who the Bills hire anymore. I just want to watch them play live football in January/February. You don't see any correlation?
Kevin Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) You don't see any correlation? 14 years without a playoff appearance, 9 years without a winning season. How many head coaches in that time span? How many different coordinators? GMs? Every time I see a new head coach get hired, or a new GM, or new coordinators I've always been excited for the following season. The only thing I as a fan have gotten in return is a team that has more losses than wins year after year. So, to answer your question, no. I don't see any correlation. I probably should, but I don't. I only see the W/L column. With that said, I still sit my fat ass down in my recliner every Sunday and watch the Bills. Cheer loud and talk about them when I get the opportunity to. I love seeing them get positive national media attention. For some reason I'm not excited about the coming season though. Actually, I'm not looking forward to it. Edited January 26, 2014 by Kevin
hondo in seattle Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Apparently, a lot of Lions were sad and/or angry when Schwartz was fired. In the words of Joe Fauria, "He loved us and we loved him back." http://www.prideofde...eact/in/5015389 Edited January 26, 2014 by hondo in seattle
Beerball Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Mike Tomlin I believe So twice in seven years. I'd say we're safe.
Rubes Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 On a side note, I'm bracing for some fallout from the political upheaval at One Bills Drive. Some frayed egos from what I understand. GO BILLS!!! Seriously, what's this about??
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) So twice in seven years. I'd say we're safe. This is kind of an interesting trivia question. So, the question is: what head coach was only a coordinator for one year with his prior team? Edit: would Eric Mangini count? He was DC for NE for only one year before he was hired away to be the jets HC. However, he had a lesser role in NE for a few years before that. edit 2: Norv Turner was an OC for only a year in San Fran, and the chargers hired him the next year (though he obviously had a ton of prior work).

San-O Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Crossman! omg. So now the Bills have the fired ST and head coach from the Lions. Awesome.
bbb Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 My biggest problem with this hire is that if the Bills do well we'll keep him only for one year. Another rent-a-coach, who will look like a viable HC to some other team. Well, hopefully, our defense will suck and this won't happen..
swnybillsfan Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) omg. So now the Bills have the fired ST and head coach from the Lions. Awesome. but wait, there's more! they also got their qb coach from detroit! Edited January 26, 2014 by swnybillsfan
Saint Doug Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 but wait, there's more! they also got their qb coach from detroit! I really don't know why the Bills are trying to emulate the Detroit coaching staff. Really, how counterintuitive is this?
bbb Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 It would be like the Browns hiring a guy who was a coordinator on a 6-10 team.
K-9 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Whisenhunt took a team to the Superbowl as an HC.... he only became an OC for a year in between HC gigs What are you referring to? Inquiring minds want to know. haha. I don't live in Bflo so never hear this stuff. Yeah, whats all this about then? Seriously, what's this about?? Didn't mean to overstate it. My apologies. Just heard there was a little consternation in the film room at not being considered for the position. Don't think it's any big deal though. Just some ruffled feathers. GO BILLS!!!

Ahh thanks for clarifying. The way you put it, I just couldnt figure out who was upset about what. I'm guessing that was Henderson, but you dont have to divulge anything further.
Nanker Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 And the owner. And their 1960 Bills uniforms too.
swnybillsfan Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I really don't know why the Bills are trying to emulate the Detroit coaching staff. Really, how counterintuitive is this? i don't know if i'd call it emulation. i'd like to think of it as grabbing a couple of coaches that doug marrone feels that he can work with and have success with. maybe not the best guys, but hopefully the best fits for the bills. what the hell, it's the offseason and i am optimistic.
3rdand12 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 The best scenario we can hope for here is that Schwartz in a furious rage after another special teams folly knocks Crossman out and we end up with a new special teams coach... Thats funny !!

YoloinOhio Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Maybe Schwartz can give Marrone and Hackett some pointers on how to better utilize Spiller... the Lions ran some sick plays with Reggie Bush this year.
NoSaint Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Maybe Schwartz can give Marrone and Hackett some pointers on how to better utilize Spiller... the Lions ran some sick plays with Reggie Bush this year. Marrone coached bush for a few years with Sean Payton.... I think he saw a few ideas on how to use him.
